Excellent! I have a bootleg VHS version I got in Times Square a number of years ago, but I definitely will be updating. Is this a sign that Anabolic is desperate to release something--anything?
Why was GBG #20 pulled from shelves, does anyone remember the reason for that?

Because one of the scenes was filmed in a Harley dealership and the Harley people pitched a fit; so it was removed. I don't understand why you couldn't just mosaic the Harley logo.
That was a GREAT scene! One caveat: Mark Wallice is prominent in the flick. Perhaps that's another reason it is out of circulation. Wallice was in the subsequent gang bang episode in which Caroline, the Czech girl, got infected. (Allegedly, I suppose, but it seems pretty clear). So maybe Chris is happy just to have it off the market and stay that way. And besides, I think they DID revive the harley scene as a "best of" clip with the Harley motifs edited out. Wadda I know?
the thing about rough sex 1 and 2 is that when you watch em now your like what a bunch of ball abbies that aint rough, well some of it still is.also Mickey G's pants didnt stand the test of time

The real controversy surrounding Rough Sex, IIRC, was not the roughness but that one of the girls later claimed to have been coereced in her scene. Anabolic got scared about the story leeching into the mainstream press and decided to pull it so the entire industry wouldn't get the spotlight.
If you do a search on RAME archives in google, you can get the whole story.
The Action DVD page shows "Usually available in 1 to 2 weeks," which means "We ain't go it." Anabolic doesn't have it listed on their site and none of the other stores that advertise here have it listed either. Where have you seen it in stock?
Hi,I´ve been holding "it" in my hands 2 days ago ... so trust us when we say it´s out there :) Oh, and it was in a store in europe and it was an original US DVD not a bootleged one (if there should be any anyway)
There are similarly named and themed series out there like I Love It Rough, Tough Love, etc. I don't see any reason why this movie/series shouldn't be released in the US. It would be nice to at least get some clarification from someone at Anabolic on whether this is going to be released or not. I've seen actiondvd post Anabolic titles on their site before anyone else on previous occasions, they seem to know when something is going to be released ahead of time. Plus, where would they get a cover scan of the box that has a DVD logo on it? I somehow doubt they would grab a scan of a box cover off a european site if they don't know whether they'll even be carrying the movie, or even if it will be released.
I'm just guessing here, but it could be that they have made this dvd for release in Europe and possibly any North American online stores that want to carry it. When Extreme Associates got busted they were advertising and selling the movies on their own website. This might explain why there is no mention of this release on Anabolic's site. Maybe they want to release it but only to a few online vendors in the US so that their risk with law enforcement is somewhat minimized. It still would be nice to get some clarification from someone at Anabolic (DoronD maybe?)
Elegant Angel did the Stephanie Swift gangbang movie, not Anabolic.
The last I heard, Patrick was going to talk to Stephanie about whether she was cool with him releasing an unedited version of it. That was months ago. Either he forgot or she nixed the idea.
My understanding is that Patrick edited it because he wasn't comfortable with the choking and slapping, not because there were any legal ramifications but because he's philosophically against it.
Got it. The VHS had a whole sequence where the guys came up to Stephanie, slapped her in the face and the spit on her. I don't remember there being choking but there easily could have been (Mark Davis was in the house).
The way it was handled was a real turn-off for me. (Though, oddly, some of "Rough Sex" was a real turn-on, so go figure, they came out at about the same time). Oddly, the opening scene where she blows Davis, Jeremy and one other guy is very sexy and fun. But the gang bang had, too often, a very rote, punishing vibe to it. Rob Black's movies always had the unfortunate combined effect of generating excitement because they were so "fiercely over-the-edge," yet deflating any joy I could have in watching because they came across as so mean-spirited and gimmicky. I'm sure a "restored" version of the DVD would do well in today's coarser-grained market, but I doubt it would improve the title.
So are we going to get some kind of clarification from someone at Anabolic on this release or what? Is Rough Sex going to be released on dvd in North America?
