MY GOD! This series is just too much for me! This is one of my favorite series.

Speelie lent me 4 DVDs to review & watch & these movies are just incredible. Even though Hardball 11 is the weakest, it still rocks a bit!

Check out my reviews for...
Hardball 3 (A-)
Hardball 4 (A-)
Hardball 11 (B)
Hardball 12 (B++)
Hardball 13 (A+)
Hardball 14 (A-)

I plan to review everyone of the movies in the Hardball series excluding Hardball 9: Screw University & Hardball 15: House of Ass. So, what do you all think about these movies? What are your favorite Hardball movies & scenes?


And don't you just like the way Christoph talks? LOL!!!

Dude, I hate to mention this, but Euro Angels and Euro Hardball are two different series. Now, they both rock, but Euro Angels is better IMO. Check out Eniko's scene in Euro Angels 12: Probing Prague. Daaaaammmmnnnnn!

As the boxcovers all say, the Official title of the series is Euro Angels Hardball.
But since we want to market as the different series that it is, we distribute it as simply Euro Hardball.

I know it's confusing. To make it more so, the name of Christoph's production company is Euro Angel.

Hi,

This is likely only marginally on-topic, but here goes anyway: I watched one of the Euro Angels titles (not Hardball) a while ago, and, to my surprise, actually liked it.

According to IAFD this DVD appears to be Euro Angels 19, although it is titled as "Euro Anal Teens 2" from the German company MMV, and at the time I thought I was actually buying a German production.

As an aside, it would be nice to be able to find out the correlations between DVD or VHS releases in different countries, and also which ones are dubbed. (This one happened to be undubbed and without subtitles, which suited me just fine.) Of course, maintaining such a database would probably to be too much of an effort. For instance, the cover of the German version is totally different from the US VHS cover of EA 19 (for instance here).

MMV seems to be especially problematic in this respect: I am sort of wary of buying anything by them, because there is no way to know what I will actually get, although in this particular case I was lucky.

Anyway, this was the first and only Euro Angels I have seen, and I liked the, well, friendly atmosphere - Christophe Clark was funny and enthusiastic, and there was even some fetish appeal. Not to mention his own gape fetish - he was oohing and aahing and praising every single dilated anus, which sort of made the whole theme more acceptable for me, even with some of the largest gapes I have seen. (Although I am sort of wondering whether the last girl Piroska wants to be remembered in the years to come from the scene where her open ass is plunged repeatedly by different men, complete with sound effects resulting from airflow in and out of her vagina.)

There were more genuine-looking smiles than usual in this kind of production. What I'd like to know, is this representative of the series?

Seeing as you're asking:
Personally, I disagree with your appraisal of Hardball 11. It's one of the best, though in my book Christoph has never quite matched the sleazy appeal of the very first edition in the series. #8 is very good too - Catherine Count's performance is quite credible!

The earlier ones (#2, #3) tend to feature some quite unattractive women, but with very HC action.

I also wonder why you think #11 is "weak", it seems to have some pretty hardcore action, esp. compared to parts of #12, which I do consider weak.

#13 was good, but too Liza Pirelli is too annoying.
#14's best moments are in the extra footage, where Christoph is trying to get Samantha to do a B-G scene, maybe with him. If only...

I also wonder how you can say you think #15 "looks like shit"? Have you even watched it yet? Give it a chance. It makes for pleasant viewing, I assure you.

VictoriO, you received the movies on Monday, and had four reviews up by Tuesday night. Damn that's quick (that's what she said)! You weren't lying when you said you were eager to see those titles. I'm glad you liked them.
Even if you found a few scenes not entirely to your taste, you obviously enjoy Clark's work, so I suggest that you give #15 a chance sometime. Even if it "looks" bad, you're bound to find some moments you'll enjoy, and you would never know if you don't try (and as I am trying to indicate, it can't be that much of a risk).
Taste, as always, is relative. I liked Hardball 12 better than Gabriel did, while we both liked #11 more than you did. I didn't much like #14 at all, though it was more that it didn't appeal to me than that I thought it was badly made. This is why it is good that many of these movies (and all pornos) have multiple reviews posted, to let people have more of an opportunity to make up their mind on whether to view/purchase them.

I think Christoph is doing a great job with his Hardball series and can't wait to see #16 next month. #6 that was just released has a great scene with Meridian.

Hardball 2 & 3 has a great cast, man. Hardball 2 has the incredible Jessica Forister (sexy ass fox from Buttman Confidential), Daniella Rush (in her first role?) & Vanda. Hardball 3 was excellent. The only ugly female was CARLY!

11 was good but not as good as the others I've seen. 12 has a MUCH BETTER CAST. PERIOD! Yes, Monique smoked, but I still don't care for her. That's all there is to it. Hardball 12 has more better scenes than Hardball 11.

Liza Pirelli annoying? No! She was sexy!

Hardball 14 has some great & funny moments ("Put your hand in your mouth"). Jeanette's scene SMOKES SO MUCH!

Hardball 15 doesn't look very good to me, judging by the cover. I'm not sure I may see this.

Hardball 9 doesn't look very good, either. Isn't Sharone & Monica Sweetheart in that one?

Hardball 7 sounds SO, SO funny! I'll review it as soon as it is released! ANAL RINGMASTER!

And... at first, I thought Hardball 5 would be shit, but I saw more clips & read more reviews about it. I WANNA SEE IT!!!

Hardball 3, 4, 12, 13 & 14 are THE BEST! My main other priorities are to see 2, 5-8, 10 & 16!

I believe Christoph grew as a director, because he did have some nasty picture flaws in the beginning of his series. ESPECIALLY #3. No flaws now! He's good!


QUESTION: Nyah, many people have told me that the Euro Hardball series is MUCH, MUCH better than the original Euro Angels series. It's more hardcore they say. They also say EURO ANGELS is nothing but GLAMOUR SEX. At the same time, EURO ANGELS 2 LOOKS SO DAMN, DAMN GOOD! Judith/Christy & Szilvia? OH MY GOD. How is this? I am only thinking of buying this. But I need someone to tell me more about the EURO ANGELS series!!! So...?


Thing is is that, at first, I was VERY JUDGEMENTAL of Christoph's movies. When I first got a membership at my recent video store, I saw Hardball 13 on DVD & I avoided it for 2 MONTHS!!! I dunno why I was being that way, I was even that way with LEX STEELE. But... CHRISTOPH ROCKS!


As I said... Christoph rocks. He's one of the 5 best people at EA. Joey Silvera & John Leslie... those guys are weak. Especially John Leslie. And... he has a great website, too!

I was probably a little extreme in saying this - #3 of course has Nikki Andersson looking as hot as possible, also a generally good cast. But #2 doesn't. Yes, Daniella, yes Mercedes, but Rita, Atlantis etc are not for me.
I am not in the business of calling women ugly so I'll leave it at that. Not Daniella's first role, BTW.
See that's the issue Victorio - better to you, or better to me, does not make it fact but merely opinion. Hardball #11 was more to my taste, and doesn't have the silly attempt at a story of #12
No, she was annoying PERIOD! as you say Victorio. We ain't gonna agree on that one!
Uh, I am not sure what you found funny about that, but generally #14 was not the best. But I agree, I did like Jeanette's scene, even if it's a real filler number - one of the things that I dislike about some of Clark's movies is his use of older or substandard scenes to pad out the tapes (evident on Euro Angels in the teens & early 20s)
Give it a rental, or whatever. It's a delight. Ask Speelie if you don't trust me!
That and 10 are the only ones I do not own, so I can't comment. But Victorio, I think you need to do a little more than just judge a book by its cover. I can't see where you are drawing such a big distinction between these movies, based on covers alone!
It's pretty good, and very HC with excellent talent.

Generally, regarding Euro Angels v Hardball, they started off differently, but through the teens of Angels, it frequently became difficult to tell the series apart. There are often scenes that could appear in either, as I mentioned already, that come across as filler material.

Is number 9 the Hardball university one - with Claudia Jamsson? If it is, it's WELL worth getting. Gorgeous woman: I had to practice self-hypnosis to get rid of the erection after watching that scene.

I haven't seen all the hardball titles but the scenes that stands out to me so far is the first orgie scene in hardball 11, it was almost like a gangbang with four girls on the recieving end, and the first scene on the grass in hardball 15.

btw I thought the original euroangels line was finished?
