Amazon Adventure (1997) – Classic DVD review
April 15th, 2006
No classic cinema buff’s collection would be complete without Citzen Kane. Sci-fi nuts have to have Aliens (Directors Cut, of course.) And fanatics for Brazilian men must have Amazon Adventure on DVD. Eight years after he took us to Carnival in Rio (and sent thousands of queens rushing to their nearest travel agent) director Kristen Bjorn returns to Brazil and gives us a classic of latin/interracial porn. Amazon Adventure is the story of a Brazilian paramilitary soldier, Alfonso Ribeiro, and the sexually-charged hallucinations he has after being bitten by a venomous snake deep within the Amazon jungle (which is actually Costa Rica.)
Here are some of the most memorable things from Amazon Adventure:
1.) The Oreo sandwich “rape” of Luis Machado — The scene in which two dark vaqueros, Rogerio Peixoto and Gaspar Moreno, double-team Machado will have you whacking your dick raw. This semi-forced sex scene is by far one of the raunchiest in the movie. Rogerio and Gaspar have the same chiseled features and mahogany skin-tones, making their sandwich-fuck of latin Luis (with his creamy pale butt) much more visually exciting.
2.) The cumshots — I try to be a diligent reviewer, but I’m sorry, you’ll have to buy this video and count them for yourself. There are easily over 40 of them. And no poorly photographed dribbles either. Bjorn shoots single scenes over several days, allowing the actors to give “fully loaded” multiple cumshots. Fans of creme de leche rejoice!
3.) Alfonso Ribeiro — the epitome of dark bronze Brazilian beauty. He gets more screentime in Bjorn’s later epic Mystery Men, but still delivers quite a performance here. (Note: He is not to be confused with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air co-star of the same name.
That Dominicano has NOT gone from TV sitcoms to porn. But, check out this recent photo of him all buffed up and you’ll agree he should!) Alfonso, of Bjorn fame, can also be seen in the 2002 MarcoStudios release Stiff Security — another Brazilian smoker that you should pick up.
4.) Pedro Pandilla — 1997 was a very good year for Pedro. Later in the same year, he starred in Gangsters at Large and The Anchor Hotel. Here, he magically appears as a tribal native who seduces “straight” military buddies Claudio Maurino and Mauro Amaral. His performance is the most sensual in the movie: the way he kisses, the look in his eyes, the way he sucks cock, the expression on his face while he gets rimmed and fucked. Sadly, ‘97 was Pandilla’s last year in porn, and he hasn’t done a video since.
If you know what Pedro’s been up to, e-mail Diablo and maybe we can start a whatever-happened-to article on our favorite porn stars.
5.) The infamous plantain scene — If you thought tostones were the best thing you can do with a plantain, Russian star Yuri Breshnev will show you another use for them as he works one up Antonio Rojas’ fine ebony ass. Although, credit were credit is due — the vegatable up the butt idea was originally pitched by Rojas, who suggested a banana. Bjorn took it to the next level and decided on a shiny green king-sized plantain. (Oh, the things one can learn from the Director’s Cut DVD audio track!) Sorry, I don’t have a photo of the plantain-poking in action, but you can watch a high-quality stream of this video now or you can buy it at a discount on DVD or VHS! ![]()

Great review. Great movie.
I wore out my VHS copy of this. Would love to finally see on DVD. Thanks for the memories!
[...] is Señor Machado now? I wish I knew. My old review of Kristen Bjorn’s Amazon Adventure is still online if you’re interested in a stroll down memory [...]
