I share Steve K.'s enthusiasm for Assman 16, based on owning the VHS (I'll get the DVD eventually), so I read his review with interest.
But Steve, I think you got mixed up on scene 1, you mention that "Amanda" is in many Private/Penthouse movies, but I think you actually meant Nikki Baum. She is the tall, slender brunette who is in the Virtualia series, and also Rocco's True Anal Stories 14, and is on the cover of Debauchery 9. Amanda in Assman 16 is the blonde with Nikki, and while she may have many appearances, I only have seen her elsewhere in the orgy at the end of Hardball 11.
The guy who is with Nikki and Amanda in scene 1, btw, is definitely LeCastel himself, and not Pascal St. James.
FWIW, I really enjoyed the last scene, where Lex is paired with Isabelle. Pascal is on hand, but is left out of most of the action, it is almost funny! For Steve or anyone else who sees this movie and likes Isabelle, she is also in Matador 9 (along with most of the cast of Assman 16), Debauchery 9 (her worst scene), True Anal Stories 14 (with Nikki Baum!), 110% Natural, and Killer Pussy 8 (her best scene, along with TAS14, she and Nacho are quite fond of each other).
So Steve, while I have a couple of small disagreements, I support your view that this is one of LeCastel's best efforts! Happy viewing.
