Many others have tried, and their efforts were not
entirely in vain, but The Real Buttwoman Returns goes
to show why Alexis Texas is just that. Directed by and
obviously starring Alexis Texas, this showcase is non-
stop action featuring one of the finest booties that has
ever graced the adult entertainment industry alongside
some very appropriate fellow performers.
Not just any girl could tear a man away from his
own production company to perform in a competitor’s
movie, but Texas is more than a run-of-the-mill
star, and she does exactly that with Jules Jordan in
the movie’s opening scene. One of two anal scenes,
it starts out on the balcony for some energetic

exhibitionist sex, and when things move inside,
Jordan gets to plunge the star in her primed butthole.
Long out of the anal game, it’s almost like watching
a fresh porn newbie taking her first anal, and their
chemistry is undeniable. Texas has some intense ass-
gasms in this scene and Jordan is out to impress with
his performance.
The second scene is a three-way that stars with
Texas and fellow bubble butt star Abella Danger
going to town on each other’s holes with mouths
and fingers and plugs ... oh my! The amount of ass
between these two is ass-tronomical and they outdo
each other when it comes to delivering. Enter Mick
Blue, who is the lucky stud who gets to take on these
two top-tier ladies, and he definitely holds his own.
Texas may be the more seasoned of the two women
in this scene, but Danger shows why she is rising to
the top of adult entertainment when she gets alpha
in the assistance of Texas cumming hard from an anal
pounding. When all is said and done, Texas voices
that she is more than willing to accept challenges
from anyone claiming to be Buttwoman status.
The third scene is a classic, poolside three-way with
the adorable Blair Williams lending a hand all around.
The finale is Texas’ first ever gangbang, and while
this blonde is stingy with the backdoor, a lack of anal
penetration doesn’t mean this gangbang is boring. She
takes five different guys in two of her holes and lives
out one of her longest, unfulfilled fantasies.
Some time away has done Texas good. She’s always
an enthusiastic performer with a filthy mouth, but
she’s got more junk in the trunk than ever before and
looks amazing. She’s eager, and being in the director’s
chair allows her to showcase her Buttwoman talents
on her own terms. It’s good to be back in Texas!

Mature, thoughtful, loving and emotionally open. To
many women, that describes the perfect man—but it’s
a fantasy that’s in short supply in your stereotypical
adult movie. That’s one reason why Kay Brandt’s Safe
Landings is that rarity: an erotic movie that would be at
home in even the softest adult boutique.
Women’s desires are front and center here. In the
opening moments we meet the main character, Elaine
(Brenda James), fully engaged in a long, slow and
sensual coupling with her husband, Ryan (Marcus
London). In the morning Ryan heads off for a business
trip while Elaine stays at home—a flight attendant
on layover who’s made some very special plans with
members of her crew. As she lights candles in black
lingerie, the doorbell rings; it’s the pilot, Michael

Cast: Brenda James, August Ames, Alison Rey, Marcus London, Xander Corvus, Ryan

Xander Corvus consoles lover August Ames in Kay Brandt’s romantic drama.
(Ryan McLane). Waiting for him in the bedroom is a
little surprise: young attendant Tessa (Alison Rey).
All too soon it’s back to work for all three—a
routine flight that ends in disaster. As a survivor,
Elaine finds herself debilitated by potent emotions,
and she’s not alone. Passenger Jessica (August Ames),
is having trouble coping as well. Her partner, Steven
(Xander Corvus), is every bit as understanding as
Elaine’s man, and he pushes her to attend a survivors’
support group. The two women meet and find not
only emotional solace but also an intense sexual
connection.
Both James and Ames do a superb job of creating
a sense of character just as much through the way
they fuck as the way they read lines. Confident and
aggressive, Elaine seduces the tentative Jessica in
their first liaison. The second time they meet, though,
Elaine reveals her vulnerability when Jessica pulls
away, too conflicted to give in to temptation.
Also doing good work revealing their own
vulnerabilities are London and Corvus. Though
women are at the center of Safe Landings, their
characters are a key part of making the movie a
satisfying fantasy.
Satisfying, too, is the quality of the production and
the generous extras. In addition to good visuals and
sound, and rich variety in the sex scenes, the two-disc
set includes audition footage, interviews, trailers,
photo galleries and two bonus scenes. And finally,
there’s a free chapter download from Brandt’s novel
Safe Landings, on which the movie is based.
