Road Thrills

"Fake Taxi", alongside sister brands like "Fake Agent", "Massage Tables" and "Lesbea", is a crummy British label specializing in well, fake reality-porn. They are all subsidiaries of Really Useful. Like its massage counterpart, the premise and thrust of the content is so restrictive and one-note that one has to be suffering brain-damage to not be cured of watching the dull stuff after a video or two.

Like many a pay-cable soft-sex filler series, "Fake Taxi" ls tedious titillation of the most basic sort. Concept is a dirty-minded cab driver in London, his face blocked out as if he didn't sign a consent form, who inveigles his way into humping each female passenger in the back seat. Interest, beyond watching a little of the old in- and-out mechanically enacted, is in the ingenuity of his spiel, and it isn't convincing in the slightest. Repeated gimmick is that he has a camera stationed in the car, useful for blackmail purposes.

I take offense at the claim, standard for much of Brit Porn, that the girls in the back seat are real people, not actresses. This is patently fraudulent, and in the case of this set of four vignettes called "Road Thrills" we have Stella Cox, billed merely as "Stella", in the lead-off vignette, bamboozled by our cabby. There are thousands of obscure Adult actresses that might be cast (not so many living in London, however), but to use Cox, easily the top British actress working today, is preposterous. Sure, if you've never watched any porn or haven't kept up to date, you might not recognizer her.

The other girls are lesser lights and unexceptional performers. The claustrophobic setting does not lend itself to even functionally effective recording of sex, let alone artistic effects. An odd streak of tastefulness has the cabby stopping to let the passenger go outside and take a pee, which is edited out of the video though one would expect a Golden Shower on screen to be a highlight. Purpose of the build-up (and missing footage) is to set her up for sexual blackmail immediately thereafter.

Note that in IMDb two wags of the "fake news" mindset have posted fake reviews from Germany of the series "Fake Taxi" from which this content is derived. They treat it as the greatest movie ever made (though it's not a movie at all) and gullible IMDb readers have agreed -clearly without seeing the show, a perfect example of how fake news propagates via Social Media. The negative response to these two reviews is, you guessed it, from me.
