Report Card: A- / B+
I've been waffling back and forth on this one. It's not my favorite Kristen Bjorn title, but it's hard to criticize a movie this good. As usual with KB you get tons of hot uncut men, in steamy sex scenes that are well-choreographed and gorgeously filmed. The cumshots are fast and furious-one every minute or two, it seems like-with each performer shooting multiple loads in each scene.
If there's a problem, I guess it's in the words "well-choreographed". KB films are noted for their quality, but after a while the sex can seem a little too planned, as if everyone's doing the assigned in-and-out with very little spontaneous heat. Maybe it's because so few of Bjorn's discoveries actually consider themselves gay. A few of the guys, while undeniably hung, seemed like only so-so sexual performers, and it didn't help that neither of two main characters did a lot for me. Still, all this is only in comparison with Bjorn's many other titles. Believe me, there's still plenty here-more than enough to get just about anyone worked up over and over again.
The story begins in Cuba. It seems that Julio misses his lover Jorge, who's now in Miami but hasn't written or sent for him as promised. (We see them exchange blowjobs in a couple of flashbacks, but their big sex scene is saved for the finale.) Determined to find Jorge again, Julio sets off for Miami himself in a makeshift raft-only to be picked up by a couple of horny and domineering Coast Guard guys. The movie follows Julio-with a few side trips-as he searches for his lover. There are six major sex scenes: three trios, two orgies and an extended romantic duo at the end.
The movie runs a bit longer than most Bjorn titles, and features a bigger cast, including several mega-hung guys. My favorite scene was the initial Coast Guard interrogation, featuring Julio, Buddy Jones and Bruno Diaz, an incredibly butch and nasty Spaniard. In keeping with its title, the movie features a stronger mix of Latino and Black models than usual, and it scooped up the award for Best Ethnic-Themed Video at last year's GayVN awards.
All six Bjorn titles now on DVD are hot and worthwhile-maybe even the best stuff out there. And this one is no exception-it's guaranteed to float your boat. (Or your raft, in this case.) But if you're buying your very first KB disc, I'd recommend this one only if the slightly higher percentage of dark men and huge dicks is your top concern.
Mmmm, dark men and huge dicks. I think I'm changing my mind again. What's not to love?

Just take a look at that cast list. "Hot Times in Little Havana" was probably Bjorn's biggest production to date when it was originally released in 1998. A number of Bjorn staples made their debut here, most notably (at least for the Emperor) Buddy Jones. And it was even shot on location in Havana! (Well, at least partially.) But the "Little Havana" of the title refers to Miami, of course, and that's where the bulk (so to speak) of the story takes place. And "hot times" is no overstatement for what's going on there.

Our little love story begins in the original Havana (that's in Cuba if you're geographically ignorant), with scenic views of the picturesque, crumbling city. Cue, compact, muscular Julio Durán wanders the streets in his oh-so-clean shorts and T-shirt, mourning his lover Jorge Martinez (better known today as veteran Alec Martinez), who has left for America (Miami) and promised to send for his boyfriend. Tired of waiting alone with no news for ages, Julio floats to Miami face down on a big, jagged piece of wood. Somebody paid a lot of money to get some dramatic aerial shots of Julio and a Coast Guard cutter. He's picked up by Coast Guard officers Buddy Jones and Bruno Diaz.

Perhaps inspired by Julio's bubble-butt -- featured prominently in his prone position on the raft -- the two officers give him a special strip search. In this early appearance Buddy was a good deal heavier and somewhat more fleshy than in his later appearances -- we really like him this way. Bruno is his usual dark, smoldering, muscular Spanish self. Their immigration routine includes Bruno's demonstrating American blowjobs on Buddy, cavity-searching Julio, and various other sucking and fucking, climaxing in their team-fucking of Julio. Officer Bruno allows Julio to go free afterwards -- evidently, you just have to fuck the immigrations officials to get a free pass.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Miami (on the beach to be precise), cute, short hunk Antonio de Marco is followed home from the beach by Jadson Pirocao and João Pauzão. Exotic, lean João has one of the biggest dicks in porn, probably as big as Chad Hunt's if not larger. Jadson is a black Brazilian with a really long, if less thick, dick of his own. As they spy on Antonio through his big patio windows, he invites them in, not realizing he's getting about twenty inches of penis. After Antonio sucks their big "pingas" there's some more rimming and sucking before João sticks his tropical cucumber up Antonio's hairy ass and pounds it pretty hard. We're not sure how Antonio could concentrate on sucking Jadson during all this, but he does. And he even cums while being fucked. He follows up by fucking Jadson, with João's encouragement. "Fuck hard, that's what he likes," he says (at least according to the subtitles). We don't know what any of this has to do with Julio's search for his missing boyfriend, but it was fun anyhow.

Speaking of Julio's search, he inquires at Jorge's last known address, a palatial home with a patio, and the resident refers him elsewhere. Fermin Ortega exposes himself in an attempt to get Julio to stay and play, but Julio moves on. Instead, luscious pretty-boy Arpad Banfalvi moves onto the balcony, and he fills both of Fermin's holes. While they're still fucking, Pietro Rosselli, Jean Le Beau and Louis Chanceur show up. All three are handsome, well-built brunets, and after Arpad and Fermin cum, they finally notice Louis finishing up a dual blowjob in the patio. So everyone comes up for an orgy on the balcony. There's a lot of fucking and sucking and rimming, with Louis and Fermin bottoming. Louis is a great bottom, with a big dick and low-hanging balls that are visible next to the cocks pounding his ass. He really seems to enjoy himself, judging from his moans and groans. And did we mention how matinee-idol handsome Pietro and Jean are?

As we learn in the next scene, Jorge has been busy gold-digging while Julio was pining away in Havana. He's skating down Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach with dark and sleek Adriano Sabroso, and they bump into (literally) another cute skater, little Marquinhos Duarte. Naturally, they invite him for sex in their luxurious home. Marquinhos may be small, but he takes both their fat cocks in his mouth at once. Adriano fucks Jorge's willing hole, and Jorge fucks back, always keeping his big hardon. Marquinhos spreads Jorge's cheeks and there are some startling close-ups of Jorge's reddened, loosened hole with Adriano's dick repeatedlly penetrating it. Jorge sprays a huge load while being fucked. After more sucking, Adriano directs Jorge's huge, downward-curving dick into Marquinhos, and they take turns fucking him until all three cum.

Julio is still innocently wandering around Miami looking for Jorge. He goes to a big gated estate but no one answers. Wandering around back, he discovers five hulking bodybuilders frolicking in the pool. This is probably the most muscular grouping of men Bjorn has ever put together: Victor Garañon, Enrique Rodriguez, Marcio da Costa, Lajos Czene and Gyorgy Toth. Enrique is the stocky, thick-dicked bodybuilder from early Bjorn movies such as "Manhattan Latin." His dick is like a beer can. Dark and hunky Marcio was in "Thick as Thieves." Lajos and Gyorgy are fair-skinned Europeans, Gyorgy rather pretty and Lajos square-jawed and macho. Victor is another macho dark Latin. Most of the guys have big dicks, and it's a real treat to see all this muscle get the sensuous Bjorn camerawork.

The five promise to give Jorge's current address to Julio -- if he sucks them off. Julio has no problem with that, and his sensuous lips and energetic oral technique are well showcased with these fat dicks. True to their word, they send him off with Jorge's address, but the orgy continues inside the fancy house. There's plenty of sucking and rimming before Marcio fucks Lajos and Victor fucks Gyorgy. The combination of the brown and white muscles of Marcio and Lajos is, well, stimulating to say the least. Lajos is an expressive bottom, grimacing, gasping and puffing. He treads that line between pain and pleasure, but still manages to cum while being fucked, so we suppose he liked it. So does Gyorgy, who gets the added bonus of sucking on Enrique's beer can while being fucked.

Julio finally locates Jorge at his new home. Jorge is startled by his re-appearance, and Julio quickly figures out the score thanks to an incriminating photo of Jorge and Adriano. He starts to stomp off in a huff, but Jorge stops him, proclaiming he has always loved him. Naturally sex ensues, and we get to see Julio's sensuous lips in action again on Jorge's mammoth meat. They take turns fucking each other, starting with Julio on top, who pounds Jorge hard to get revenge on his faithless lover. When they change positions, though, Julio reclines on his stomach and wriggles his ass sensuously to encourage his lover's attention; he's clearly born to bottom. The flick ends with the two of them in each other's arms, drenched with sweat and cum. Of course, it doesn't show you what's going to happen when Adriano comes home. Probably all three will live together happily ever after. Together. In the big house. Having loads of sex.

Can we talk about cum? We did a running tally. We counted 66 cum-shots. That's a lot, even by Bjorn standards. In fact, it may be a record for a single-volume Bjorn. Those boys shot enough cum to fill up a big mug. And some of the individual climaxes are incredibly voluminous, spraying cum all over the place.

But even in Bjorn's consistently fine oeuvre, "Hot Times in Little Havana" is a real standout, and one of the Emperor's two or three favorite Bjorn features.

DVD features: Digitally remastered, no regional coding (playable worldwide), stereo sound, slide-show gallery, and an easy-to-navigate menu. (This disc doesn't include the nifty director's commentary that we so much enjoyed on some of the other Bjorn DVDs.)
