GayDemon's review of Lucas Kazan

There is not a lot of Italian-based gay porn, but the content at Lucas Kazan is impressive and stylish, featuring incredibly sexy studs. For over 10 years, LKP (Lucas Kazan Productions) has been making gay epics with high productions values, good story lines, and classically handsome (mostly Latin) men. This review is of their subscription website, Lucas Kazan, which spotlights some of the studio's best video work and also offers some more reality-focused videos..

The site has grown since our last review - Lucas Kazan now currently offers 103 scenes from their DVDs including the DVD extras like behind the scenes vids. Talk about feature rich! The DVDs not only include the scenes - the DVD content included behind the scenes stuff, pic sets of the models, a trailer and some include interviews, bonus footage like showers or videos of the photo shoots.

The site also offers 85 "reality" videos that include casting videos among other things, and the cinema section also includes the trailers for the DVDs, which are worth watching.

The navigation has been improved, and is now easier to use. The "Models" area includes a list of all 60 Lucas Kazan models, most of whom are drop-dead gorgeous. Each model's page includes his profile, member rating, filmography plus links to his videos and pic sets.

All the videos are offered in Flash format, and are shown at between 620x380 and 620x380. Quality is pretty good, and so is the sound, and there are 2 smaller sizes of video for those on lower broadband. My biggest problem with the site is that none of the DVD scenes can be downloaded, but the casting and other reality videos are downloadable in two formats, WMV and Quicktime, which are shown at approximately 620x465 with a bitrate of around 945k for WMVs and around 1.6 for the Quicktime videos. Sound quality is very good and image quality is pretty good - a little higher for the Quicktimes than the WMVs - although there is a slight loss of quality if you go full screen.

Now let me get to the most important point: The videos are both artful and hot and the models are simply stunning. Take, for example, Jean Franko, a rugged, hairy, masculine guy from Venezuela who now lives in Spain. The site gives you an interview video with Jean (very comfortable in his skin), a video of Jean at the gym (using his hands for more than lifting weights) and two photo sets.

Then there is a steamy three-way in a scene from LKP's "Backstage" video. This scene features two adorable twinks and one handsome, slightly hairy guy going at it hot and heavy on a beautifully lighted stage. Incidentally, LKP's videos feature some of the best background music in gay porn.

The bottom line is that Lucas Kazan offers incredibly hunky italian men in 2 kinds of videos - professionally shot DVD scenes and reality videos. The Cinema section is where to find beautifully produced professional movies, and the reality sections offer more intimate videos that focus more on the men. The videos all look pretty good but only the 85 reality videos are downloadable. There are two changes I'd like to see here - I'd like to see dates on the updates (since there is no way to know how often the site updates) and the navigation could be simpler. Even so, if you're into euro guys or gorgeous men (and who isn't?), Lucas Kazan is one site you should be sure to check out!
