Not very good...but a one of a kind
preppy-36 April 2005
Interesting documentary about the gay porn movie industry. They talk to actors and director about how they prepare, why they do this and their feelings about it all. It's not all good--it's sometimes dull (despite the subject matter) and this was shot on no budget (and shows). Also it sort of meandered--there was no clear cut view. The highlight was with Blue Blake--once a porn star, now a writer and director. You see him--um--"performing" with a guy--he's in pain but he has to act like he's enjoying it. Also his talks about the industry are interesting--he comes across as a likable, intelligent guy--NOT what you expect from a porn actor. It also ends with a director saying why he does these movies--and it's actually quite touching.

There isn't much hard-core footage--only enough to get the point across. In Blake's scene we never even SEE the guy he's with! Gay men might find this interesting (I did) but it might be a bit much for others. But--name one other movie about this. I give it a 6.

Too Much Information
Pat-546 January 1999
Even though this is a documentary on the gay porn industry, a little restraint would have been welcome. Did we really need to see Hunter Scott give himself an enema? Too much information!!

Funny and gross
snowy-1223 March 2000
Some of the information was a bit gross and I thought it was really amusing to watch the behind the scenes peak. It is focussed on Chi Chi La Rue and Gino Colbert productions. It would be interesting to see a remake by Falcon or His Studios to get an unbiased perspective of porn studio. It is definitely recommended for those who enjoy porn videos and want to know more, but be warned it may shatter delusions of porn forever.
