Circo delle Giovani Troie

[jj]

German: original title unknown.
With exactly the same cast as Kerle, F?tzchen, Sensationen... apart from Gina Wild. Credited under the auspices of Rivolta/Pontello rather than Harry Morgan, even though the similarities extend to the sets and some of the outfits worn.
The cast are differently-named: Heidi O’Neil, Cora Camper, Sheila Caprice [i.e. Mathilda], Doreen Mitchell and Luna Firewater [i.e. Mika Shirley].
A word on Lenka [2]: I'm not at all certain that the girl pictured from 'jetzt wird's schmutzig 3' [who is identical in appearance to one who appears in Matchball...] is the same as the girl in the other three pictures. I can see that a transition of sorts might be visualised from the gallery pics, with the 'Best of' picture as the intermediate, but... Anyway, when I [or someone else] get round to capping Matchball and Babettes Saftbienen you can judge for yourselves.

1) Mathilda [b/g], Lenka [2] [anal] and Liba [anal];

2) Mika Shirley [pre-enhancement but still with that amazing shelf-like bum]- anal, and Mikaela- bald anal;
3) Mika again- DP;

4) Lenka/Liba/Mathilda/Mikaela- all anal.

Thanks.

Rivolta/Pontello?

Do you mean it's a DBM title directed by Pontello (as Gabriela Ponti?), produced by Gino Rivolta?

I tend to agree about Lenka [2], but I won't change anything till you've checked the other titles.

[jj]

I can't be definite about the DBM tie-in [although other plausible suspects might be pretty scarce] because these Italian versions cut a lot of the original German titling both on the artwork and the discs [at least they've got the titles onto DVD and made fairly easily available, which is more than the original makers have done].
The rolling credits at the start are still there so, yes, it's Pontello-directed and Rivolta-produced, with exactly the same credit-style as you'd find on a standard Rivolta/DBM flick.

Lenka: it'll probably be 'Saftbienen' that I cap first, hopefully within the next few days. My copy of 'Matchball' has been edited where the watersports are concerned [strange, as AFAIK it's a standard CD-case Videorama] and I was hanging on hoping to acquire an uncut version...but as the current entry is so brief I'll give the basics and add some caps with a caveat when I do 'Saftbienen'

Thanks.

Maybe not so strange. I have read Videorama has edited out all watersport scenes from their movies when they transferred them to DVD. I believe the reason that was given was that they wanted to use Orgazmik as a retail outlet. (seeing that the Geman laws make online international distribution very difficult). Orgazmik is Swiss based and watersport scenes are a big no-no in Switzerland.

So, instead of "Blame Canada", I would say (I wouldn't dare to sing) "Blame Switzerland".

[jj]

Makes sense [in a perverse sort of way...].
Isn't it odd though, that a nation that has the highest rate of gun-murder on the planet [an unintended consequence of the requirement that all male adults own a firearm- in case of invasion, I assume] should be so, well, pissy about a little urine ?

Still, we should never expect either logic or consistency from our legislators: they are, after all, only [barely] human...

Hey Walter,

Thanks for these information. Golden showers have not been edited in all Videorama re-releases, but they may have done so for more popular titles. I remember a discussion where it was said they cut the piss scene from Die Sperma-Klinik which was on the vhs. As for Matchball, the sequencing on my copy was a bit strange, the movie was cut in two parts. Maybe that is where the censorship happened...

If the story about Orgazmik is real, then Videorama got fooled because they do not carry any of the Videorama re-releases. In fact, except the Vivian Schmitt movies, the last Videorama DVD Orgazmik added to their catalog dates back to one year ago !tears!

That's pretty much the way my copy is.
I remembered particularly that before her first fuck [on the steps] Meridian had a piss in the VHS- this was absent from the DVD and alerted me to keep an eye out for changes. The other major hack I noticed is in Lenka's second scene [with Baillat] which jump-cuts jarringly, I guess because of a hasty edit at that point.

I have read about this theory a couple of years ago already -- might be as early as 2003. Perhaps Videorama (DVDrama now) has realized that the Orgazmik deal isn't worth it after all.

Doesn't Spanish company Papillon also release old Videorama titles on DVD? Perhaps they are complete?

[jj]

I've found quite a few V'ramas under Papillon's auspices [and at a bargain price, which is always nice].
The trouble is the German titles are only rarely translated literally so tracking down a particular one is more a game of chance than anything else. I ocacsionally run through several pages of their products' boxcovers on the off-chance, but no success so far with 'Matchball'...

Of those I've got they seem to be complete, although one thing I've noticed is that there seems to be a problem where HSM has used that 'angle' thing [and I'm not a fan of it in general anyway: do the editing yourself, you lazy bugger, instead of asking us to do it for you, and at a stroke extend the [always way too short] scenes thereby by about 40%]...see? Ralph Nader is not yet forgotten...
It only happens with the first scene, but the picture 'toggles' between the two views in an alarmingly jarring fashion. I haven't been able to get round this glitch- it doesn't make the scene unwatchable a such: I just have to have a long lie-down in a darkened room afterwards.
