Synopsis

"One girl, three holes, seven the hard way."  That's the opening introduction to this recent release from Red Light District.  Basically, there's three long scenes here each featuring one babe and seven horny guys.

What's Hot

Ashley Blue is excellent in the final scene.  Regardless of whether she's getting her face, pussy or butt stuffed with thick tube steak she maintains a great attitude and manages to come off as a cute, submissive nymph.  Special mention for being a good sport with round robin a2m and attempting double anal.  Her embrace style DP footage where the guy stands was also outstanding. 

The three featured starlets are all pretty attractive here.  Based on looks alone, cover girl Vanessa is probably the best, but Ashley is a close second.  Factor in her winning personality, and Ashley takes the lead. 

Long running time, but the action gets a bit repetitious by the end of the movie if you watch it straight through.  Better to break it up into several viewing sessions -- each scene is a little over forty minutes.  Also, a generous amount of bonus footage is included (see descriptions below).

Good AV quality.  Good lighting and reasonable sharp picture. 

What's Not

I found several of the guys' commentary during Lucie's scene annoying.  Brian Pumper's inane comments were the worst of the lot, but the Euro guys had their share of zingers as well.  As a general rule, I prefer the girls to do the talking during sex scenes, but this is not always possible with foreign starlets who don't speak English. 

Too much of Ashley's doggy anal was shot from the side which didn't give viewers the best look at what was going on.  After the third or forth guy, the camera moves around back, but it's a bit late in the game. 

Annoying sound mix at the main menu.  Music is on one channel and voices on the other.  I have no clue why some some porn producers separate the sound like this.  It's especially bad for viewers using headphones.

Weird spelling of "Hardway" (instead of two words) makes this movie difficult to search for. 

Everything Else

Below is a detailed blow by blow account of the sex scenes:  

Scene One:  Lucie and seven guys.  Lucie is a cute 21 year old from Europe.  She has light brown hair, an attractive face and nice sized, natural breasts (C cup).  She begins the segment in a blue, flower print top and beige skirt, but quickly strips out of her clothes and Brandon's request.  She speaks a little bit of English, but a translator is on hand to help out with the interview questions.  Brandon gives her one more chance to back out, but Lucie insists she's ready to do it "the hard way".  At this point, the scene cuts to Lucie's sex scene with seven guys. One guy is black and the others are white. 

First is a circle jerk style BJ with Lucie in the middle and dual BJ action.  Brief reverse cowgirl vaginal plus BJ followed by on her back screwing -- the guys take turns.  Lucie has a shaved, petite pussy with a patch of hair up top.  Constant oral action as Lucie is fucked.  Most of the photography is from a relatively close range.  This is a extended sequence.  The action then shifts to reverse cowgirl again.  Lucie sits on top of one cock and alternates with other guys who take turns on the side.  About 20 minutes into her scene, Lucie is double fucked in the reverse cowgirl position.  To be honest, it looked like double vaginal, but in fact, one of the cocks are in her ass.  Lucie doesn't say much, but she does moan a lot.  Some of guys provide a running commentary, although it is not exactly an enhancement to the scene.  Brian Pumper for instance says, "She can hardly speak any English, but I don't give a fuck."  Pumper pulls out of her pussy and the next guy takes a turn.  The action proceeds like this for several more minutes.  Lucie continues to service the guys with her mouth at the same time. 

Then the scene cuts to Lucie getting DPed doggy style.  Pumper has butt duty this time.  In Pumper's words, "She's got one in her ass and one in her pussy... Nice and fucking nasty.  Yessss."  Pumper glides his cock in her ass fairly gently.  The guys rotate and Pumper's successor is less laid back.  He fucks Lucie's butt with high energy.  Next, five more minutes of reverse cowgirl DP footage.  The scene cuts to a doggy anal penetration shot.  Again the guys take turns.  Lucie's energy level begins to seriously drop at this point.  The guys had to keep reminding her to suck cock.  As the scene wears on, it becomes more misogynic.  Pumper crams his cock into her butt and Lucie's body jolts in obvious discomfort.  Pumper says, "It's a little bit bigger than you expected, but you can fucking handle it... shut the fuck up and take dick.  More guys step up to the plate and experience her dirt road.  Raincoaters will no doubt enjoy the repeated insertion shots.  This pure anal footage provides a much better view of what of happening than all the DP footage earlier.  One of the guys gapes her ass and her bunghole opens up nicely.  The next guy fucks her ass harder and chokes her.  At this point the action shifts to RCA with switching between multiple cocks by lifting her off the regular cock and twisting her body slightly to the side.  A gaping effect occurs between cocks.  At about 35 minutes into her scene, Lucie takes on two cocks in her ass (Pumper and some Euro guy).  It's obviously a tight fit and it doesn't seem like much pumping is possible.  However the guys persist in trying to find a way, and some suggest pushing her body into the cocks from behind.  Lucie puts up with the ordeal well and seems in good spirits at this juncture. 

For the cum shot, multiple guys stand around her and shoot their loads on her face.  Lucie doesn't close her mouth, but she doesn't exactly open it in a way that invites cum swallowing either.  The guys splatter her on both sides of her face and one guy toward the end gets a big glob of goo on her chin.  (37 minutes).

Raincoat Points:  69,  Scene Grade:  B-

Scene Two:  Vanessa Virgin and seven guys.  The second scene features Vanessa Virgin.  She's a slender Euro cutie who is featured on the front boxcover.  Vanessa has long black hair and medium sized, natural breasts.  She has a pretty face with a toothy grin.  As the scene begins, she's wearing a vinyl bikini type outfit with hanging stings.  If it was made of leather, I'd say this was traditional American Indian style.  Brandon asks her if she is going to do everything the easy or hard way, and she replies, "some easy and some hard."  Brandon catches this, and informs her that the plan is to do everything the hard way today.  Vanessa quickly strips nude for Brandon and spreads her ass cheeks giving viewers a good look at her butthole.  That's it for the brief introduction footage.

Seven guys suddenly appear and line up to get their cocks sucked.  Once again it looks like a bunch of white guys and Brian Pumper.  The guys direct her to suck using no hands.  Vanessa looks great sucking dick, and vaguely angelic.  Soon all the guys surround her in a tight circle and offer up their dicks.  A few minute later the scene cuts and Vanessa is seen squatting on a guy's rod reverse cowgirl style.  She's nude except for her tall, black boots.  She proceeds to fuck other guys in the same fashion and sucks cock at the same time. 

Up to now, the scene took place outdoors.  Here the scene cuts and now the starlet is indoors fucking on the guys cowgirl on a sofa.  The guys "trade her" back and forth.  About fourteen minutes into the scene, one guy starts to finger Vanessa's  butthole as she rides cowgirl and sucks hard cock.  However, no anal action yet.  Instead, Brian Pumper fucks her sidesaddle.  Some nice face fucking footage is captured here with the guy pumping her mouth from above.  Then more extended screwing with Vanessa on top.  She does a line up of two or three guys here.  Pumper begins to show an attitude again.  Vanessa starts to get up off his cock and Pumper holds her down, telling her, "Stay Down.  No one told you go anywhere.  Take this mother fucking dick and cooperate." 

The last twenty minutes of the scene features anal sex and DPs.  The scene cuts and Vanessa is seen scooping up a sizable amount of what appears to be petroleum jelly in her fingers.  Naturally, she uses the lube to grease up her butthole in preparation for the massive cock invasion that's to come.  Vanessa fingers herself first, inserting two fingers in her butthole, then three.  She tries hard to fit four fingers inside and appears to do so, but the scene cuts to doggy style and sideways anal sex with one of the crew.  The guy lifts her leg up, providing a nice view.  At the same time Vanessa continues to suck dick.  The second cock is even bigger than the first, but Vanessa still takes it easily.  Cock number three up her booty is Brian Pumper.  She seems to struggle a bit more even though Pumper fucks her butt carefully.  There's a nice close up insertion shot after Pumper's turn is over.  The action continues in this fashion until all the guys get a turn.  One of the guys spits in her mouth a couple of times.  Then they lift Vanessa up and have her ride reverse cowgirl anal.  Again, she goes down a line. 

The guys convert the RCA into a DP.  The bald guy spits in her mouth again.  Some off camera guy with a Euro accent seems to be directing the action more than Brandon.  Vanessa seems challenged a bit more by DPs but still handles two cocks admirable.  Both guys fuck her pretty aggressively here.  Vanessa moves on to the next dude, and this time she turns around for a doggy style DP.  The off camera Euro director was asking her if he liked the taste of her ass, but no clear a2m is shown.  Pumper takes a turn at her butt and the guy on bottom slaps her ass moderately hard.  Vanessa makes some good facial expressions.  Most of this footage is shot from a full body angle with the occasional crotch close up.  Next, the action goes back to reverse cowgirl DP.  Vanessa appeared to be getting sore at this point.  She seems uncomfortable with Brian Pumper in her pussy.  Nearly forty minutes into the scene,     there's an edit and now Vanessa performs double anal.  She's on top facing the camera.  A close-up insertion shot is included.  Vanessa suffers through the double anal and tries to keep the penetration shallow the best she can.  Another guy takes a turn and this time the insertion shot is full body so viewers can see her grimace.  This one does last too long.  The scene breaks away to the cum shot finale.

The the cum shots, Vanessa is on her knees and the guys are standing around her jerking their chickens.  Pumper cums first and shoots a small amount of jizz inside her mouth.  Subsequent guys also cum in her open mouth and of course some of the goo lands on her face.  After the last guy, Vanessa swallows it for the camera but doesn't appear too pleased with the idea.  She manages a weak smile for a second and the scene fades out. 

Raincoat Points:  77, Scene grade:  B

Scene Three:  Ashley Blue and seven guys.  Ashley Blue is a cute brunette with smallish breasts.  She's the only American girl in this feature.  It starts off with Ashley sitting in a patio chair outside under a tree.  She's wearing a white frilly top and jean shorts.  Brandon asks her a few questions along the lines of the questions in the other two scenes.  Ashley says this is the first time she's been with seven guys (no surprise there!) and that today she intends to do double anal.  At this point she strips nude for Brandon.  She seems pretty comfortable with the idea of taking on seven guys.  She shows him all of her holes before the guys make it on the set.

The guys bring a wheelbarrow and cart her back to a shady area.  Ashley says she wants some cock in a convincing manner.  She tells them, "Just pull my hair if you want me to suck your dick."  At this point she starts serving all the guys.  It looks like a different crew here than the other two scene.  All the guys are white.  Right off the bat they treat her fairly roughly  -- slapping her ass, face and tits (but not too hard).  Ashley seems to revel in the debauchery.  She gags herself in order to produce sloppier blowjobs and then one of the guys gag her as she sucks his cock.  Another guy spits in her mouth and another one fucks her mouth deep.  Ashley looks quite cute and makes good eye contact with the camera.  One of the guys jams his finger down her throat and and the bj gets messy.  More face and titty slapping in between cock sucking.  They lead her back to the house and Ashley assures Brandon she wants more.  More deep no hands blowjob action once they are inside.  Lots of slobber, face stuffing and slapping here for pervs. 

About sixteen minutes into her scene, the guys begin to fuck Ashley.  The first position is standing with one leg up.  Of course she sucks cock at the same time.  The submissive little slut seems to be enjoying herself.  The guys fuck her hard one after another.  Ashley moans most of the time and sometimes says something to encourage the guys.  Next she is seen riding a cock reverse cowgirl.  She fucks several of the guys in this position in turn.  More rough oral stuff including choking, spitting and cramming hands in her mouth. 

After about fifteen minutes of hard vaginal screwing, it's time for the guys to probe Ashley's anal cavity.  They fuck her ass first doggy style.  The first guy pumps her pretty hard almost immediately and then jams him banana dick in her mouth a2m.  Subsequent guys do the same thing so Ashley gets a really good idea of what her butt tastes like.  The nasty starlet stays enthusiastic to the end and is actually smiling most of the time.  The third or forth guy up her butt is a bit bigger and this seems a tad harder for Ashley to take.  But she's a good sport and lets him pump her ass for a couple of minutes just like the others.  The next guy really fucks her with gusto and when he comes around for his turn at ass to mouth, Ashley makes some great expressions.  However, the scene cuts to the DP sequence here and she looks refreshed again when she comes back.

At this point, Ashley performs doggy DP.  At the other end the guy tries to get some rough oral action going but it's difficult because of all her moaning.  Some minor gaping in between guys.  Ashley welcomes guy number two with a curious comment, she says "happy fucking."  Only a couple guys actually dp her here.  After a few minutes, the action cuts again, this time to a double anal sequence.  The insertion shot is not shown.  Not surprisingly, it looks like a really tight fit.  The guys double plug her ass in the reverse cowgirl position.  She apparently can't perform double anal for too long as the scene soon changes back to dp.  The DP position here is relatively rare position where the guy stands up and the girl embraces him.  Then the second guy stands behind her and fucks her ass.  Very nice low camera work captures the nasty stuff, including one guy withdrawing from her freshly fucked asshole and the next inserting his cock.  This hot sequence goes on for about three minutes.

Now it's time for Ashley to be rewarded for all her hard work.  She gets on her knees and the guys take turns blowing their nuts into her open mouth.  Ashley makes great eye contact with the guy and the viewers.  Several good cum shots here and viewers can see a large quantity of  goo collecting inside her mouth.  It's a pretty disgusting looking concoction.  At the end, she gargles the cum, swishes it around her mouth and then swallows it.  She does her best to look happy, but her face wrinkles up in disgust for a second when it goes down.  Good ending to this fine (raincoater) scene!

Raincoat Points:  96, Scene Grade:  A-

Bonus "behind the scenes" footage follows the main feature.  The running time on this material is about ten minutes.  Most of the footage is taken from Vanessa's shoot.  The final two minutes is an interview of Ashley.  She says the next big thing for her is double fisting (!). 

There's also an additional seven minutes of "bonus footage" found on the "extras" menu on the dvd version.  It starts off with some really good raincoater oriented bj footage with Ashley that should have included in the movie!  It captures a moment when she was so overwhelmed by cock, she needed to catch her breath. 

Yet more extra footage can be found under "boner footage".  Ashley stops by to check out her scene in the editing booth.  She watches herself and describes it as "really intense."  Then she strips out of her skimpy bikini, show's Brandon her ass, and begins to give him a BJ.  Nice POV footage here.  It's pretty messy by the end and her boyfriend joins in too.  (14 minutes)

Last Word

"7 the Hard Way" is indeed a hard hitting feature that will appeal to the raincoater audience.  I consider this a scaled down gangbang feature along the lines of Anabolic's popular "Gangbang Girl" series.  There's an abundance of straight sex, anal sex, double penetrations and even some special tricks like double anal in all three scenes.  The starlets are generally treated like meat here and at times the guys display contempt for women.  I enjoyed Ashley's scene the most, in large part because she's from the U.S. and seemed more accessible.  The language barrier with the Euro girls in the first two scenes puts a chill on their performances. 

Total Raincoat Points:  242, Average Raincoat Points Per Scene: 80.66, Bang for the Buck Rating: 12.64
Overall Rating:  B (3.00)

Second Opinion? 

Rog calls this movie a "solid" stroke flick from start to finish.  He seemed uncomfortable with Ashley's scene because "things get really rough."  Overall grade:  B
