Watching HUNGarians, a viewer cannot help but draw an obvious comparison to the work of mega-director Kristen Bjorn. This comparison goes well beyond the obvious: exotic locations, flawless videography and the involvement of several actors who have appeared in Bjorn's projects. There is an aesthetic similarity so striking, that were director Steve Cadro's name not credited on the box cover, one might think for sure that HUNGarians was the latest Bjorn epic. This is a good thing. HUNGarians is broken down into four separate vignettes, each with its own title. The first and best is called Escape From Bosnia, and begins with beautiful establishing shots of the countryside, villages, people - and destruction. Four hunks run through the war-ravaged village and enter a subterranean passage. The fugitives doff their clothes and take the time to fuck and suck, Bjorn-style, before continuing their flight. One underwater cumshot is probably the most beautiful image in the tape and well worth the purchase or rental. Other vignettes include: East Side Story, a train traveler's dream turned auto-mechanic fantasy; Hungarian Rhapsody, a magical farmhouse tryst; and The Magician, a fable about starving soldiers and their salvation after an encounter with the mysterious man who lives on the hill. The Magician contains a cast of eight hunks, but is the least successful of the scenes. Director Cadro seems to handle a small number (three or four) of performers in a scene with much more competence.
