Tango City reviewed by Zipper magazine UK

2 U.K. magazines, ZIPPER Hardcore issue # 22 and VULCAN issue # 67 which came out in November 2006 feature lavish photo spreads of some of the still photography from Tango City. The remaining pictures are likely to appear in subsequent editions of these publications. Also go see www.zipper.co.uk

What’s it about?

The tango must surely be the sexiest dance ever created. Made famous in Buenos Aires, this sensual delight has two bodies moving together in perfect union, gyrating with the natural passions of life itself. This hot new film from Flash Conway recreates the essence of this most-erotic of performances and adds a highly welcome hardcore gay slant. Made with Argentine young men , this DVD pulsates with the rythms of  the country and the passions of the people who live there. The men on show here are wonderful; natural, youthful, energetic and totally real. Excited by being fucked, and sexy as hell. 

Filmed entirely in Buenos Aires, the sex scenes here are complemented with outdoor footage, so you get a tour of the city. But it’s the fucking that’ll leave you breathless and longing for more. The first scene has horny Luciano cruising on a street looking for man-on-man sex. This buff youngster finds pleasure in the form of hot bottom Paulo. These two latino lovers notice each other and the animal magnetism is immediate and they quickly retire to a secluded apartment to get naked, hard and start to fuck energetically. They both trade blowjobs, fuck and shoot their loads quickly but, after sex this frantic, that isn’t surprising.

The next cum-filled scene has Fernando and Miguel meeting in a café and realising that there’s only one thing on the menu that they’re interested in-each other. A hard fucking scene has Miguel going on top after lots of foreplay and an extended period of slurpy rimming. Miguel seems obsessed with arse, and is evidently enthralled by every inch of Fernando’s body, long cock and gaping fuck hole.

Hot Paulo makes a welcome return in scene three where he takes on the amazing Frankie the Thug. Frankie is one of the most impressive men I’ve ever seen in a gay porn film. Totally masculine, with a naturally built body and an absolutely humungous cock which he really knows how to use. A showman who evidently loves revealing his body, and seems to get off from the fact that he’s just so damn horny. This guy loves having his cock sucked, doesn’t suck himself. It looks like Frankie is 100% top and you can see his incredible sexual energy level in every thrust of his perfect body.

The threesome starts here between Paulo, Frankie and horny Roberto Martin. This is a ballistic scene in which Roberto joins the others and they soon strip him and welcome him into their erotic fold. He’s happy to please them both and they spread open his cheeks to rim him and take it in turns to be sucked by him.

After a hot workout plugging Paulo’s hole, Roberto steps aside and Frankie takes over. This is amazing to watch as Frankie is a superb sexual performer and the sound of him banging into Paulo’s backside is superb especially when Roberto wanks himself to orgasm as this happens.

Cover models Gustavo and Marcello make the next scene the hottest in the film. Their pairing is stunning and Gustavo is a real find; a handsome muscle twink who smoulders with sexual energy. They meet in a zoo and are soon hungry for each other. Gustavo’s T-shirt reads “ Light my Fire”, and Marcello takes the suggestion to heart by literally leaping on the highly excited lad. After some extended kissing they end up in bed and are soon sucking each other noisily as they throw each other around. There seems to be some debate about who is going to get fucked, but eventually it’s gorgeous Gustavo who spreads his immaculate bum-cheeks and allows  himself to be ploughed. Marcello lubes up Gustavo’s furry arse and he’s as hard as a rock when he sits on Marcello, letting his big cock almost slip entirely out before ramming back in repeatedly. When fucking in a dodgy position Marcello pulls his cock out again to reveal a gaping, cock-hungry hole before it quickly gets replugged. The natural chemistry between these two is amazing and Marcello is obviously highly thrilled to be fucking such an amazing, natural guy who seems to be experiencing anal sensations he’s never before felt. The final joint spunk shots are intense and both lads shudder mightily as they shoot their loads at exactly the same time.

This great collection of Latino lust is as heavenly a collection as you’ll find. The boys are simply fantastic and the action is relentless and superbly well filmed. Buy this now.

Canada's bad boy syndicated gay columnist Richard Burnett gave us a lavish review in Three Dollar Bill. "Conway's work reminds me of earlier Jean-Daniel Cadinot and Kristen Bjorn". May 11, 2006.

Thanks Richard!

Porn again

I am enjoying a cold beer in the hot spring sunshine at a St-Viateur Street café with Canada's finest physique photographer and porn director, the inimitable Flash Conway, when Flash reveals that - like how real estate is all about "location, location, location" - porn is all about "distribution, distribution, distribution."

We all know the 1980s VHS video boom took porn out of theatres and spun it into a multi-billion-dollar business, thanks in large part to legendary porn pioneers like director Wakefield Poole, a friend of this column, whose 1971 classic Boys in the Sand starring Casey Donovan was filmed on Fire Island and helped make gay porn legit in the first place.

"VHS cassette is now a dinosaur and it's gone," Conway explains. "Now we love our DVDs. But people have become very savvy downloading from the Internet. You can video stream over 15,000 titles online, going back to the 8 mm barebacking films from the 1970s. You just can't get that selection at your local video store. And who wants to spend $60 for a film you're only going to view a few times when you can watch it online for $2.99? If you sell 3,000 copies of a DVD in North America today, you're doing pretty damn good."

In fact, those are amazing numbers in a business that releases roughly 500 new titles every month. Besides, Conway - whose work reminds me of earlier Jean-Daniel Cadinot and Kristen Bjorn - says most revenue today comes from the Internet.

"People marketing porn distribute films any way they can, from Internet streaming to downloading it to your iPod," Conway says. "You can even get a few minutes on your cellphone if you're in the mood for a quickie while you're waiting for your plane at the airport."

While California remains the epicentre of the porn biz, Conway's critically hailed flick Here Comes Santa was shot entirely in Montreal. "Montreal is probably the sexiest city in North America and a place where canvassing for models is very active. People here are willing to show their dick and ass for just about anybody in the street. The average American wouldn't even dream of doing that. There's a different mindset here [in Montreal]. So there's a lot of porn production here, and live webcam."

The aforementioned Here Comes Santa features a memorable scene where all actors Yan Clark and Jeff Lemieux do is suck each other off, and, by God, the scene works.

"You have to have some understanding of sexual chemistry," Conway says. "For some people it's all about the money. But I sensed the two of them were raunchy little fuckers and I knew what they each liked. They arrived on time and met for the very first time five minutes before we got into the hotel room. I couldn't afford to pay them to fuck each other but the chemistry was there."

Conway continues, "I don't run sets with 12 people standing around from 10 in the morning until 6 in the evening. Very few people can have sex entertainingly and vigorously for that long. And you advise the models to refrain from having sex for a couple days before the shoot so that they have something to shoot. Many directors tend to forget that you are filming for the voyeur. You want to see everything right down to the last bead of sweat."

Conway's twink-filled latest film, Tango City, shot entirely in Buenos Aires, has been getting raves stateside and was featured in the March 2006 issue of the popular American magazine XXX Showcase. Conway is currently casting his next film Looking for Danny, to be shot in Montreal, and is also preparing to shoot in South Africa this summer. Then he returns to South America.

That means Conway is always busy recruiting both gay and straight boys (the latter best known as "gay-for-pay").

"'Straight boys' is fast becoming a popular category [of porn]," Conway notes. "These are [mostly] straight boys from college full of raging hormones. If there's money on the table, and if their buddies are in on it, they'll go for it."

Then, as Flash and I leave the St-Viateur Street café, we both notice a stunningly handsome waiter who, after we introduce ourselves, tells us he also works as a model. "Well, I photograph mostly homoerotic stuff," Conway says, handing the waiter one of his business cards. "Give me a call and I'll show you my work. But don't feel like there's any obligation."

I don't know if he ever called, but the waiter took Conway's card and flashed us both a big smile.

Tango City Review by ZIP Magazine

Montreal, December 2005

Text by Marc Antonios

L'an dernier, à la même époque, le réalisateur montréalais d'origine sud-africaine Flash Conway nous donnait Here Comes Santa, une production qui mettait en vedette des Montréalais. Cette fois-ci, fruit de sa tournée en Argentine, Conway nous a dégoté quelques belles euh... gueules que le pays du tango et Buenos Aires ont pu exposer pour notre plus grand plaisir. Seul Frankie "The Thug", avec sa grosse mailloche, sans compter sa gueule baveuse, vaut le détour... Mais il y a plus que cela. Conway nous a concocté trois duos et le trio de Frankie, Paulo et Roberto qui en fera saliver plusieurs tellement ces Latinos sont chaleureux et bien membrés. Ainsi, entre les images exceptionnelles du centre-ville de Buenos Aires, Conway nous présente des mecs qui, sans être exagérément beaux ou baraqués, reflètent le charme, la virilité, la jeunesse et le métissage des cultures en étant tantôt tendres et sensuels, tantôt machos et plus énergiques. Ces scènes également représentent bien ces hommes que l'on voudrait à la fois romantiques et brutes et illustrés ici par le tableau où les débuts timides et langoureux de Fernando et Miguel cèdent la place a une enculade déchaînée de Miguel. Le paradoxe et le fantasme de la baise avec un Latino quoi!

A review by Onan the Vulgarian

The tango may be the sexiest thing two bodies can do with clothes on, and though we do see hot bodies dancing the tango in the opening credits of Tango City, they're heterosexuals. The guy-guy action is more along the lines of the horizontal bop, but the models are sensational, real-life guys who are naturally hot. No gym-bunnies, nobody shaved and waxed to porcelain smoothness — in fact, they're not waxed at all. Any one of them is welcome to give me lessons.

Tango City was filmed in Buenos Aires, and between scenes there's some tourist footage. Paulo is an enterprising bottom who picks up scruffy Luciano at a street corner kiosk. In the USA, we might call Luciano trade; he kisses tentatively but functions mostly as the owner of a hard cock that Paulo uses to fill his orifices. Luciano is furry and cute nevertheless and, hell, we've seen lots of South-of-the-border sex that's like this.

Fernando and Miguel hook up at a cafe and go home together without ordering. Their tryst entails more mutual engagement, withmutual sucking, more ambitious foreplay and some rimming by topman Miguel.

Paulo return is scene 3, where he picks up tattooed top Frankie, "the Thug." They get caught in a downpour, which only hastens the inevitable. Thug Frankie has enough metal in his face to give some guys pause, but he sports a solid six-pack and even though he des not reciprocate, at least he seems appreciative of Paulo's attention to his cock.

A knock at the door turns out to be Paulo's friend Roberto, who has a thick head of curls that demand tousling (nobody does). Roberto is also a top, which means that Paulo can get both his orifices packed at the same time.

Cover models Gustavo and Marcelo are my favorites. They meet at the botanical garden and go home to make like the birds and the bees. they are totally hot and totally hungry for each other. Gustavo's t-shirt reads "Light My Fire" and Marcelo takes the suggestion to heart.

After some smooching on the couch, they get naked and go to bed. The sucking is reciprocal, and rimming and shrimping are part of the foreplay to the multiple-position fuck. Gustav bottoms; the chemistry is intense and the crossfire cum shots are juicy.
The DVD has scene selection and bonus footage of the models showering together after their scenes.

Overall rating:

The Tango is the sexy dance born in Argentina. TANGO CITY is a very sexy feature from Flash Conway that begins with Argentine studboys, Luciano and Paulo. After Paulo gives some oral loving to Luciano's thick tool, his nice hairy ass is pounded in a spirited fuck session with his hard cock showing approval. Paulo jacks a hot load onto Luciano's furry belly while riding cock; then Luciano shoots.
Fernando and Miguel are another attractive young couple. Fernando's hole gets energetically rimmed and fingered before he bottoms for Miguel. He looks like he can barely take that cock, but the bouncing hard-on he displays while his ass gets pounded shows he's a happy boy.

Paulo is back, and his love of cock is again well demonstrated as he gets a taste of Frankie's (The Thug") dick. He's served an extra helping when Roberto also shows up. Frankie and Roberto each tag team young Paolo's ass, and coat his abs with creamy spunk.

Cover boys, Marcello and Gustavo meet in the park in the final scene, and they make a pretty sight. Gustavo is a hot muscle twink, and Marcello is the very handsome partner. Marcello spit lubes Gustavo's gorgeous furry ass and grips his thin waist in order to drive his thick uncut rod deep and hard into Gustavo. Gustavo is hard as a rock when he sits on Marcello, letting that big cock almost slip from his hole before sinking his ass back down repeatedly. When doggy fucking, Gus pulls his cock out several times to display Marcello's gaping hole before replugging it. Their cumshots are almost in sync, with Marcello power blasting streams of cream reaching from Gustavo's nuts all the way past his head and nailing him in the chin several times.

A bonus 12 minute shower scene of the cast and a few other uncredited guys is included.

Tango City reviewed my ManNet (www.mannet.com)

A DVD review by Rick Forrent

Recommended:

Not since Eva Perón cruised the moonlit streets of Buenos Aires has there been this much fuss over the Argentine tango. The men in director Flash Conway's "Tango City" show off some pretty fancy footwork against the stunning background of one of South America's sexiest cities.

After Paulo Lima and Luciano Gomez meet on the busy street, it's only a short walk to Paulo's pad for some no-nonsense tricking. Luciano is dirty-blond and hairy-chested, a subtle contrast from Paulo's more traditional Latin looks. Neither man is exceptionally built, but both are toned and pleasantly in-shape. They only stop kissing long enough to undress one another, and in a matter of a few moments, Paulo uncovers quite a prize when he unbuttons his buddy's fly. Luciano's cock has a sexy crookedness, jutting an inch or so from his hips before bending sharply downward. Truth be told, the natural curve makes for some smooth sucking. While Paulo performs his oral ministrations, we're provided some excellent views from underneath, his heavy balls heavy like eggs. Somehow they make it to the bedroom. Paulo continues to cock worship in front of a fuzzily content Luciano. Luciano is not one to reciprocate, instead laying back and taking a more passive role. At one point, he tickles Paulo's hole with his fingertips, making it plain where the action is headed. I've got to hand it to Paulo -- the entire time he's getting banged, he never once loses his hearty erection. Neither top or bottom are especially voracious or vocal here, preferring instead to switch positions often and enjoy some easy fucking. When Luciano gets off, it's hard to miss his tremendous foreskin; as the cum flies, he pulls the skin down tight and then rolls it back up the entire length of his prick.

Miguel Lopez and Fernando Ramirez might be taking a break between classes. Chatting casually in a city café, they're the type of cheerful youths it's easy to envy. Slinging backpacks over their shoulders, Miguel and Fernando abandon the café and head back to Fernando's to continue chatting. Their absent-minded touches give way to more concentrated kissing. Sex between these two almost seems like an afterthought. Fernando, while not unattractive, is no exceptional beauty. Miguel is somewhat more exotic looking, the dark skin under his eyes making him look almost Indian. Cocksucking is a mere appetizer for the pair. Once Fernando gets on his hands and knees on top of the bed, squatting to expose his tender hole, the main course is served. Miguel lavishes Fernando, spending long minutes pulling Fernando's cheeks apart to get to the treasure buried deep. Fernando doesn't stray from this position and Miguel suits up and dives in. Chewing on the pillow muffles Fernando's happy cries while Miguel humps his buddy. Miguel is a top-in-training and skunks Fernando's back not too long after he really finds his rhythm. Without a doubt, the most tender moment is Miguel giving Fernando a hand -- with a few licks interspersed -- helping him get over the top.

The third sleepy vignette starts with Paulo Lima and Frankie "The Thug" ducking out of the rain and stoking the fires by drying off. Paulo immediately slides into his comfortable bottom role, bending at the waist and blowing Frankie. Paulo is so intent on his task that he completely misses Frankie's colorful tats which are draped over one arm and shoulder, dipping down the length of one meaty thigh. Strange, but Paulo looks considerably buffer here, and even more delicious than at the top of the film. No question that he's the sexiest man here and it's no surprise that the director uses him twice. Who knows why Roberto Martin drops by the apartment, but without missing a beat, Paulo and Frankie strip him down and welcome him into the fold. Paulo is ever eager to please and opens wide for both Roberto and Frankie, alternating sucks. Roberto has long skinny legs, curiously hairy while his upper torso is smooth. Those legs are impossible to miss as he stands tall near the headboard, encouraging Paulo to take him deeper into his mouth. Then after he gets a workout plugging Paulo's hot ass, he steps aside and lets Frankie take over. With Frankie's hips still slapping against his backside, Paulo jerks out a nasty load onto his flat stomach before the other men follow suit.

The most erotic session closes the film. Marcelo Romano and Gustavo Nunez meet while cruising one of Buenos Aires' elegant sculpture gardens. Picking up on silent cues, they head back to a quiet spot to make love, looking almost as good with their clothes on as they do with their clothes off. Too often in porn, kissing is overlooked in light of other, more intense activities. Here, Marcelo and Gustavo reminded this horny viewer just how essential kissing is to hot sex. I got considerable enjoyment watching these two kiss and tenderly pat and rub, each man slowly turning up the heat by touching the other. Imagine my utter state of bliss when completely undressed and fell into an achingly sweet 69. Marcelo and Gustavo both have beautifully shaped cocks, impressive without being too long or fat. Both made sure to make a feast of balls and ass during the 69 sequence. From the tips of their pricks to their tender holes, no inch of skin went untasted. Marcello tops here, and the anal sex he shares with Gustavo is a natural extension of their affection. At times, Gustavo completely submits to Marcello. Then he abruptly switches gears and urgently uses Marcello's cock to make himself feel good. Of course the cum-shots are thrilling (but the additional DVD footage has the pair holding each other and scrubbing down in the shower, footage which is as compelling as the rough and tumble fucking).

The lovemaking in "Tango City," with the exception of the fourth pairing, comes off without urgency. The men enjoy their sex much like they would a good meal or engaging conversation, hooking up without the obvious fanfare. Absent is the precision and sly seduction two dancers employ when dancing an authentic tango, but the steps here are no less sweet to watch. I'd recommend starting at the end and working backwards through the film. Gustavo and Marcello are the over-the-top dessert after a sedate, albeit pleasant, meal.
