I enjoyed Dick Bush's new "Storm of Kings", going after medieval fantasy, but his superhero opus "London Knights" is fairly lame. Its origins are less in the parody genre than in harking back to his beginnings, with the "Girls with Guns" features.
The five battling then humping segments of this series for Digital Playground has porn talent dressed up in clunky costumes, staged in parking lots or warehouses - what filmmakers call practical locations, but which look more like amateur filmmaking than artistry. The failure to even attempt to create the semblance of a fantasy world renders the sex scenes generic.
Because his character is masked, Luke Hardy plays both Prime and Deadstrike in different segments. The premise here is somebody is killing off London's masked heroes, but in a strange, unbelievable way they are brought back to life to fight again. None of the characterizations or story content is the least bit interesting, so we're left, by design perhaps, with lengthy sex scenes.
Bush's favored actress Sienna Day is back and acquits herself well, while busty Kayla Green and striking Nickane Sweet hold their own in XXX action. One of my favorite Euro babes Jessie Volt is unimpressive this time, and Antonio Black is in the cast to provide trendy interracial action. Non-sex cameos by the likes of Stella Cox (nude but uninvolved in the action) add little to the enterprise.
Chalk it up as an off-day for Bush, whose star is definitely rising on the international scene, but whose consistency (quality-wise) remains in doubt.
