Ben Dover: Little Smart Arses
is part of a long-established chain of films that sees Steve Perry
as Ben Dover filming women in various situations but with the same premise.
Each girl is caught, usually seemingly unaware, while at work or at leisure
and, literally, has the pants charmed off them by either Ben Dover himself
or one of his regular cohorts, Superdick, or others.
Each encounter results in some 'arty' film shots, some foreplay and finally
full sex, but thanks to the prudish types at the BBFC, the no-no's of
penetration, erections over 45 degrees from the vertical (I kid you not!)
and the 'money shot', are all censored or the picture is zoomed in, so you
know what's happening but it appears to be just offscreen.
The girls featured in this compilation are:
- Zoe, a tall, young girl who is entertained by a man in the open air
- Naughty Nancy, a voluptuous blonde who gets more than she bargained
for at a model shoot
- Charlotte, in "Hot Doggy Style", who works in a chip van but that's
not the kind of "sausage" she has in mind, and
- Sue, the Midnight Lady whom Ben Dover picks up off the street.
Naughty Nancy...
Being shot with a camcorder, the encoding is surprisingly first-rate with no
artifacts to be found. The camerawork isn't always all it could be, so it
loses a point for that. The average bitrate is a very good 9Mb/s and if
you have a widescreen TV and want to zoom in on the picture, don't let me
stop you.
The sound quality brings across clear dialogue and other 'special effects',
literally consisting of slap and tickle but not much else.
Extras :
Chapters :
There are only 5 chapters to the disc - one for the opening titles and then
one each for the four girls featured.
Languages & Subtitles :
English dialogue and the occasional primitive grunt. No subtitles.
DVD-ROM content & Photo Gallery :
Put the DVD in a DVD-ROM-capable PC and there's a website link available
when you display the "website.htm" file provides a link to:
www.bendoversbabes.com.
The pictures are available in JPG form for your PC, but most of them are
replicated in the Photo Gallery.
Menu :
Static and silent with choices to start the film from scratch, choose a girl
or view the photo gallery.
Overall, if you've seen any Ben Dover films beforehand, perhaps as part
of the Adult Channel or on TVX, you'll know what to expect. If not, you may
find this isn't quite as hot a video as you were expecting, some footage
either being excised by the BBFC, or at the hands of M.I.A. beforehand so it
doesn't contravene the BBFC's policies.
Note that according to the
BBFC website, they
made no cuts to this film, but have to other Ben Dover titles.
