Early on in the commentary track that is part of Island Fever 4, director Joone claims that this is the movie he wanted to make when he shot Island Fever 3. And the difference between the two is quite noticeable. While the action is essentially the same as the previous three volumes (i.e. romantic couplings in exotic locations), there’s little doubt that this is the best-looking and best-edited Island Fever to date.

At over three-hours in length (spread across two DVDs), this is also the longest Island Fever to date, although that doesn’t mean Joone has lengthened the sex scenes. Instead, he gives us no less than 20 sexual segments with a mix of solo scenes, lesbian sessions, and some good, ol’ fashioned boy/girl action.

The majority of the scenes have been shot on location in Bora Bora, although I think a few of them have been filmed at a different location. After a rollicking, almost music video-like opening credits sequence (which will give you an idea of how the rest of the scenes have been edited), the movie begins with Jesse Jane and Jana Cova making out on the beach at the edge of the water. There’s no toy use whatsoever in Island Fever 4, so sapphic purists should be happy to hear that it’s all fingers and tongues in this segment – including a nice bit where Jesse finger-fucks Jana’s ass.

Our two other Digital Playground contract stars are next, as Teagan Presley and Sophia Santi have their own girl/girl session. This one’s not really hardcore, and basically consists of some kissing and mild touching. Teagan, by the way, is the real standout star of this volume of Island Fever. Not only does she look fantastic in all of her scenes, but her boy/girl encounters are far and away the best pairings in the movie. At over three hours (199 minutes, to be more exact), I can see the reason for Island Fever 4 to be spread across two DVDs...while it certainly could have been fit on one disc, picture quality would have suffered, and that quality is one of the best reasons to pick the movie up (it’s by far one of the most visually stunning adult releases this year). However, the break between Discs One and Two is rather jarring...and it does seem to take you out of your “fantasy vacation” for a few minutes while you replace the disc.

The movie is presented in widescreen anamoprhic, with the option of listening to a 5.1 or 2.0 Dolby track. There’s also an optional feature-length commentary track that features, among others, Joone, Jesse Jane, Teagan Presley, Sophia Santi, and Robby D. The extras on Disc Three continue with “Crazy Evan’s Island Movie” which is a 8 ½ minute short film directed by Evan Stone which is kind of a spoof of The Island of Dr. Moreau. “Bora Bora Moments” are some more short behind the scenes clips, including playing bacci ball; having dinner; and (in a clear indication that this movie was shot long before we lost the “Crocodile Hunter”) screwing around with stingrays!

The only caveat that potential customers will want to note is that once again this latest edition of Island Fever features a music-only track, meaning you won’t hear the “moans and groans” of the performers during the sex. But this is the way they’ve done it from the beginning, so why mess with a winning formula?. Island Fever 4 is everything you would expect it to be, and if you were a big fan of the previous versions, you won’t be disappointed by what you get here. It’s visually stunning, well-shot, and includes enough extras to keep you busy until Island Fever 5 is released...which I’m guessing is a sure bet after witnessing the quality of work that went into this title.
