In The Ultimate, Rick Savage is seen applying hot wax to an unidentified blond, then he and Sharon Mitchell are seen tweaking Patricia Kennedy’s nipples. “Let your ass say to the lash, hit me please, “he tells another girl who is in the stocks. Then he’s seen wrapping Kennedy’s tits in UPS tape like she was an Egyptian mummy. Stay with me on this.

Mitchell tells Master Savage she wants to break in a new young man in the Dark Hall. This will be Biff Malibu as you’ll later find out.

Always the poet, Savage tells Mitchell, “your tits have come to visit me—they crave some attention.” Then he locks Mitchell in a chastity belt with handcuffs (great sound as they click shut). He lashes her boobs. He applies the full regalia of retraints on her. Then the old bondage Catch 22—he gags her, then punishes her for not speaking clearly enough.

In a real career move on Malibu’s part, he strips to his skivvies and licks Mitchell’s boots. And because he doesn’t worship her boots properly he gets punished. There’s also an inordinate amount of ass kissing (well, more than what normally goes on in this business).

Savage the master now wants to surrender – “a man can only give so much,” he says. He’s whipped over a bench and stretched up for a full body assault.

In Deadly Explosion uncle Salvatore (Bill Majors) confesses to his niece (Dusty) that he sent her through college with money he got in an armored car heist. And things get really upbeat from here. We also learn that Salvatore’s missing three fingers which his accomplices cut off trying to find out where he stashed the loot and that he’s dying from cancer.

Dusty winds up being abducted by said accomplices Tanya Foxx and Jay Dee and forced to tell them where the money is. Dusty’s roommate reports her missing to the cops (Kiri Kelly). Going to investigate, Kelly suffers the same fate as Dusty and is humiliated and hogtied. They then get the drop on Foxx then force her to tieup, only Jay Dee then gets the drop on them so we’re back to square one.

The girls are hung by the rafters and a dynamite charge is scheduled to go off, ending there for the next installment.

Of the two features Deadly Explosion relies much more heavily on plot and exteriors to tell the story, whereas The Ultimate is more of a physical/psychological drama turning the tables on a dominant man who yearns to be submissive. Either one or both are good bets for your specialty section.
