I have and I didn't like it.
His stuff seems to have gone way downhill the last year.
I don't think I'll even bother renting very much of his stuff anymore. My major complaint is too many ugly chicks or the action is too tame.

I saw it. I don't think it was bad but I also don't think it was one his best. Why they called it Hazardous duty? I don't know, other than the fact that in the first scene Rocco is wearing a cast over his right hand, I think he had a motorcycle accident and injured it. First scene is good, as Rocco is in heaven with 7 or 8 beauties all to himself, injured hand and all. He only anals one of them though.
It's a Rocco film so it's better than most of the stuff sitting on the shelve, even if it's not the greatest Rocco film.

Well, his stuff was so amazing for so long -- I imagine it's hard for him to top himself. But I definitely no longer buy every new Rocco DVD when it comes out, because I've been disappointed several times. Not sure what it is, but if you look at how sizzling "Rocco INvades Poland" is, or "Meats an American Angel in Paris," or early "Animal Trainer" or "True Anal Stories" were -- they were off the charts intense! So either what once seemed outrageous has become routine or I'm unbelievably jaded or Rocco is slowly going off his game. Not sure, but I'm now looking to stuff by Mason and Brandon and, always, Joey for my big thrills -- and may pick up some older Rocco releases coming out on DVD. It seemed like he reached a pinnacle of crazy around Animal Trainer #'s 4 and 5, and the first "Way to Love," and has been tapering off (of course, as you say, his tapering off is many others beyond belief, so it's all relative).

What Rocco was so good at was taking charge of a stunningly beautiful girl and really putting her through her paces, reaching peaks of sexual engagement that shot through the viewer like electric current. It's still there, but I'm just not feeling as much of it (I don't care much for the "reverse gangbang" scenario, or variations on the approach, like RLD's :Outnumbered" or Anabolic's "Tournante." It just seems like a waste of talent to have so many girls laying around unfucked at any given moment).

But then, of course, there is "The Fashionistas," in which, as an actor, Rocco may be at his very best ever.

The other thing I've found lately is that Christoph's lines have been great: especially Hardball. #20 is one of my faves of the year. And I will try and pick up #22 to take "home of the holidays." My gut feeling is that it's all cyclical. I bet there are surprises in store.

I really enjoyed HAZARDOUS DUTY. The one on one with Joachim and a girl is very intense and powerful. The energy really peaks at points and you can tell they both really were into each other.
The other memorable scene for me was the closer with Rocco and the 2 girls in the van. One of the girls pees her panties before Rocco removes them and stuffs them in her mouth briefly.

It's a matter of taste, apparently, because I'm liking Rocco's stuff better and better these days. In the past, his stuff seemed rather impersonal, the girls were just there to take a pounding, mostly anonymously (of course there were special moments). Since roughly the tine of Rocco Ravishes Prague 2 in 1990, his work has been less, "watch the guys stick it to the sluts" and more "watch Rocco wrap these girls around his little finger" (or big cock, you get the idea).

Even more than Rocco himself, I think he has improved the scenes in which he doesn't perform. It used to be about watching a bunch of guys high five each other and laugh at how cool they thought they were, taking turns in a girl. Now, we get scenes I adore, like Denis Marti getting it on with Jenny Blair and Daphnye in AT12.

What I don't argue in the least is that Rocco's stuff has changed, and that those who were happy with his older scenes understandably don't care for his more recent stuff. I don't think it is fair to say that either era is "better" than the other. FWIW, I enjoyed Hazardous Duty quite a bit, not least because it was the first time I saw Sandra Mark be really into what she was doing. She got hot, sweaty, and intense with Rocco, after being bored or over the top fake in other titles such as Out Numbered and Hardball 21.

That's why I used to like Rocco.
that's the exactly the reason why I don't care about Rocco videos anymore. Too many wasted pussy in his videos these days. Basicly the only way to like Rocco now is if you really don't care who the girls are. ...Me? No way Jose, I buy my porn for the girl not for the guy ..when I see one of my A-list girls on the cover of one of his videos, I ask myself <what are the chances she will get decent screen time with Rocco??> The only answer I come out with, is <no way that is gonna happen Wally, she has to share the scene with 4-5 other girls, so forget it!> ..Honestely, <If> only the guy could fuck a girl one/one once in while would be great, but I gave up on that thought a long time ago.

Thanks, guys. I think I'll give this one a miss. Sounds like one of his 'softer' efforts.
