Water Power

Faster than an erupting colon! More powerful than an over-exercised sphincter! Able to cram liters of water into asses with a single nozzle! It's - THE ENEMA BANDIT!!! Oh boy - this one's another weirdy from "classic" smut director Shaun Costello...

Burt (played convincingly by porn-pro Jamie Gillis) is a bugged out freak, who after witnessing an enema procedure at the local sex-club, decides that it's his duty to clean out all the whores he cums across - starting with one of his neighbors that he often peeps on. Armed with a backpack full of enema supplies, Burt goes on an ass-douching rampage of twisted hilarity - including the aforementioned neighbor, a pair of sisters (who are a little too "close" for comfort), and finally a female undercover cop who is out to bust him...

Many seem to find WATER POWER "disturbing" - sorry guys - this one's just down-right funny. Apparently based on true events that happened at Illinois University where some whackadoo went around enemizing co-eds - Costello (according to his own story about the "conception" of the film) states that when confronted with the "material" that he was asked to shoot - he decided to make it a parody of it's own self, while throwing in a healthy dose of TAXI DRIVER-ish pathology blended into the character of Burt. He considers it his funniest film - and honestly, I do to. Not for all tastes by any means, but even though the film offers such "treats" as forced-enema expulsion (both real and staged) one of which is particularly noteworthy where Burt has the girl spray her butt-water on his hand and dong for a little "lube" action, gun-point rape, a little golden-shower action, incest and all-around humiliation and depravity...there's still something in how the material is portrayed that is so over-the-top as to honestly become comical. Either that or I'm just really sick.

The sex scenes are unarousing and are basically comprised of a few rape scenes, and one relatively energetic blow-job from Sharon Mitchell. The first and last enema scenes are obviously genuine, the two "messier" ones in the middle of the film appear to be staged - but are still a riot. Nothing really whack-worthy, unless you are an enema-fetishist - but WATER POWER will appeal to those that dig really uber-weird and twisted films and don't mind a little (or a lot...) of porn mixed in. Definitely some strange (and messy) stuff, and some of the weirdest film-making you're ever likely to witness...9.5/10

EDIT: I have since spoken with Mr. Costello personally - and he assures me that ALL of the enema "expulsion" scenes were REAL and not staged...thanks to Mr. Costello for the clarification...

Man there's a lot of mighty unclean women floating around nowadays, well there seemed to be as far as Jamie Gillis was concerned! The director of "Deep Throat" tried his hands at yet another porn, this being by far the nastiest of them all. What can be so nasty you ask?

How about a loopy Gillis barging into your house with a gun in one hand, an enema kit in the other and hell bent on cleaning you up!!!

Honestly what can I say, it's a porn movie. Though it is a good porn movie, with some marvelous music swiped from "Cape Fear" and god knows what else. Jamie Gillis is, as per usual totally convincing as the "Enema Bandit". Plus this was also based on true events! Unbelievable!!!

This is one of so-called "roughies", nasty hardcore exploitation cinema. Good example of that kind of cinema is surely the other picture from Gerard Damiano: "Forced Entry". "Waterpower" is quite similar - it's filthy, with lots of XXX scenes included, but they're here trying to say: "we were shoot on purpose". Don't be naive, it's only another fetishistic piece of trash. But it's also quite entertaining. The plot is very simple: there's a man with some serious psychic problems. After a visit in a bordello, where he sees the man doing an enema to a girl, he finds he's new great fascination. He starts to be a "moral voice" of the big city, he traces young women and rapes them. After all he's doing an enema to them to - as he says - purify them. Well..., I didn't find it nice watching water mixed with feces coming out of those girls, but I must admit that this is really original idea. See for yourself if I think that you have to, but remember that you were warned.

One reason modern-day hardcore porno movies are such a waste of time is that they have become so damn conservative and even respectable. The "adult industry" doesn't want to do anything that will upset the lonely businessmen in hotel rooms or the lucrative "couple's market" which allows them to rake in billions of dollars annually. It's kind of refreshing therefore to see an old style porno movie that is completely un-PC, in the worst possible taste, and even downright disturbing. This movie is actually fairly well-made and could probably pass for a (very) low-budget police thriller except that it has a villain who ties up women and forcibly, and very graphically, gives them enemas!(An alternate title for this is "The Enema Bandit", but "The Enema Rapist" would probably be more appropriate).

I should point out that this movie is not the least bit erotic if that's what your looking for. Even if you are some kind of sick deviant who finds enemas sexy, the execution here is pretty risible. Plastic tubing being shoved up the pimply backside of some "actress" while she squirms and unconvincingly protests might be many things, but erotic definitely isn't one of them. Director Gerardo Damiano was one of the people responsible for ushering in the whole "porno chic" nonsense in the 70's with his film "Deep Throat", but I've often suspected he was really a very subversive filmmaker who was never really interested in turning people on. His follow-up film, "The Devil in Ms. Jones" is a classic too, but it has a gut-punch ending like something out of Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" that really delivers a very chilling message about sexual obsession. And I can't imagine he really meant this or his even more ridiculous puppet porno epic "Let My Puppets Come" to be anything more than a sick joke on all the "porno chic" idiots.

This movie is best approached as a (very) black comedy. Some might be troubled by the air of misogyny or the fact that the enemas here were very obviously not simulated, but you should take into account that 70's porno actresses were often strung-out junkies who frequently engaged in anal sex with numerous overly-endowed males--I imagine many of them probably could have used a good enema. . .

Of course, I do not want to condone the use of force or violence, and in this video, it is actually criminal - rape associated with the administration of enemas . . . however, with that caveat having been applied, this video is CLASSIC. Everything you could want, from the medical administration of a discipline enema, to the girl next door who needs to be cleansed, to the two sisters alone at home, to the ultimate female police officer who tries to set the guy up! It's a full length film and I think - with other vintage 70/80 film - that which became the cornerstone of my interest in medical fetish/fantasy and the later development of "PLAY DOCTOR". Highly recommended.
