#TBT: New Wave Hookers

New Wave HookersFor our first Throwback Thursday post, we’re reviewing a legendary 1985 porno titled New Wave Hookers. In the ’80s, even those of us who were so young and sheltered we barely knew about porn heard of this movie. It was part of pop culture in a way that XXX rarely was back then.

Two buddies, Jimmy and Jamal, are watching porn and wondering what it’s like to be a pimp. Jimmy wants to “program” a bunch of New Wave girls to fuck along with music and open a joint called New Wave Hookers.

The guys fall asleep and wake up in a scummy office. Both are dressed “New Wave,” including shades and studded leather. Jimmy’s suddenly pretending he’s Chinese, which feels like a “Turning Japanese” reference. There’s also a bum pretending to be a dog who lets them know there’s a phone call by saying “ring” until they pick up the call. This movie is in on its own joke.

When a potential hooker shows up on roller skates, Jamal gives her headphones to listen to a new song by the Band-Aids. She turns into a sex fiend, humping Jimmy and masturbating with a dildo, then begging him to fuck her. Eventually, she’s sucking the bum off while Jimmy rails her from behind. She’s hired!

Next, two programmed hookers find an “Arab” john in a tent, who speaks no English but clearly understands when they start licking each other in front of him. He tastes their sweet, furry bushes and spears them on his dick, one after the other.

Superstar Ginger Lynn is sent to entertain two nerds. One wants to fuck her pussy while the other ass-bangs her, and she shows them a bitchin’ time as they double-penetrate her to a soundtrack of primal New Wave rhythms and squeals of ecstasy.

Jamal thinks that the music holds powers over the women and makes them need to fuck. When an Asian babe brings in sushi for Jimmy, Jamal decides to test his theory. The music captivates her, too, and the pimps and bum take turns fucking her.

The vice squad busts them in the middle of gang-banging some bitches who have been in the programming chamber for too long and need to get fucked. Jimmy knows the cops and offers to let them join in if they’ll look the other way, and these girls are too hot for them to say no.

All of the movie’s tongue-in-cheek absurdity gives it lots of character that is very much of its era. It’s a throwback classic for a reason.

Ball Busters

If there are any lessons to take away from the Cal Vista classic called “Ball Busters” they are:

  1. 1. Never catch rays while wearing your hair mohawk-style when two cops are on your property looking for a seven-foot tall perp with purple hair. It’s the quickest way to being interrogated as Lois Ayres finds out.
  2. 2. When you let the cops into your house for their call-in, be sure that your sister has not used a straw in the past hour and that any sugar you have spilled does not land on your moms compact or you’ll then be subject to a full-cavity drug search.

Jamie Gillis and Dan T. Mann perform the search on Lois in the opening scene, bending her over and slipping a couple lubed-up rubber-gloved fingers into her pussy and asshole. Of course, fingers transform to cocks during the throat portion of the search. A threesome breaks out and Lois takes two loads onto her face and tits. It’s just the kind of auspicious opening you’d expect from director Alex DeRenzy, a guy who never shied away from the dirtier side of adult cinema.

Winner of the 1986 AVN Award for Best All Sex Release, Ball Busters sports an impressive line-up of some of the all-timers in porn including: Nina Hartley, Ginger Lynn and John Leslie among others getting it on in true superstar fashion. Some of the other highlights include one of the more spank-worthy 69 scenes in latency memory between blonde lust maiden Gina Carrera and Jacqueline Lorians. The scene features well-paced alternating shots of each girl scooping out pussy juice from the other using their tongues. You can even see Gina’s ass clench up when she cums;  a scrumptious, tight-bodied and very young Nina Hartley violating her wedding vows with John Leslie’s stiff cock. Her ass was one of the finest around at the time and it looks incredible here as Leslie slides his cock up and down her crack before fucking her doggie style. He follows his maneuvering with a large splash of cum up Nina’s belly in RCG; And Kelly Nichols makes her move on blonde haired, blue-eyed California beach girl, Erica Idol using dirty talk and Billy Idol imagery. She also plays show and tell with the young scamp like a live instruction manual on how to make love to a woman and suck a man’s cock. It’s a truly amazing scene.

But for any Ginger Lynn fan, the 5’3″ 100-pound cock sucking machine completely knocks it out of the park here with a mindblowing blowjob performed on Dan T. Mann. On top of that, she takes it in the ass. Words cannot do this one justice, so we won’t even try. Just know that Ball Busters is a complete triumph of early adult cinema. What’s more, the version in our VOD  is the uncut version, digitally re-mastered for superior quality to the original.

So, which of the girls is the biggest ball buster? As always, you’ll have to tune in to judge for yourself.

Roommates

One of the ironies of classic porn films, especially those that are revered as some of the greatest of all time, is that they are often lacking in the porn department. If you compare films of yore to today’s offerings, you would see how much more brash and in-your-face current titles have become. But much like trying to decide once-and-for-all the best athlete of all time or the greatest band of all time, the idea that comparative analysis between films of different generations can produce incontrovertible evidence that one is better than the other is more food for thought and fodder for discussion than an exact science.

Today’s porn has a lot working for it that directors and producers didn’t have two or three decades ago: societal values are looser; porn is more acceptable; and the technology that exists today allows filmmakers to do things and capture things that just weren’t possible back then. Despite the advancements, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the level of shock value contained in adult films was any less prevalent then than it is now, if taken in correct context.

But when we say “lacking in the porn department” we don’t always refer to quality. And in the case of Roommates, from 1981, the concern for many die-hard porn fanatics is a question of frequency. Still, the film is considered a triumph of adult cinema and for good reason. It has an excellent script, solid acting and keen production values. It conquered the Adult Film Association of America awards the year it was released. And it even managed to cross over into mainstream territory thanks to its being given an “R-rating” makeover.

Directed by Chuck Vincent, Roommates concerns three women, all strangers, who share an apartment in the hopes of not only making it in New York City, but also putting behind them some of the headaches and heartaches that have followed them in their lives. Their arrangement is a chance for all of them to start anew.

Billie (Samantha Fox) is a former call girl who has aspirations of making it in the world of advertising. Joan (Veroncia Hart) is a drama school graduate who is trying to hit the big time as an actress. And Sherry (Kelly Nichols) is a prominent fashion model whose fast-paced lifestyle had taken its toll on her relationships and her sobriety. Over the course of the film, the three of them form a close bond, relying on each other to keep on the straight and narrow. However, as hard as they try, their pasts continue to haunt them.

Billie gets blackmailed by a former pimp who threatens to expose her past should she fail to keep turning tricks. She gives the occasional blowjob to various men throughout, including a very inexperienced client played by Ron Jeremy. She also services several men at a bachelor party, but feels the old pain return when she realizes the bachelor party is for her lover Jim (Jack Wrangler).

Meanwhile, Joan hits it off with a gay co-actor named Eddie (Jerry Butler) during auditions for an upcoming play. Though they are close, she has been carrying on with a married man for weeks, holing up in hotel rooms and the like for quickie fucks and blowjobs that she hopes will lead to a declaration of love. When she discovers that her lover’s wife is pregnant, she is crushed but finds solace (and an unexpected fuck buddy) in Eddie after the two are approached by an agent who says that he wants to represent them. In their celebration, they fall into each other’s arms, knowing that it ultimately can’t go anywhere.

Sherry, in contrast, has been living on the edge, drinking and doing amyl-nitrite in line with her party lifestyle. Much of the time, her vices take her into frightening territory where she gets abused and violated by strange men. During one binge, she does a 69; during another, she gets gang fucked by four ruffians who use a bottle and tire iron in the attack, and piss on her as a final humiliation. She gets rescued from that attack by a guy named Joel (Jamie Gillis), who turns out to be a deranged pervert who then stalks her. In one scene, he masturbates over Sherry’s unconscious body. In another, he coerces Sherry into taking off her panties in a classy restaurant and proceeds to rub her clit under the table with his bare foot. His mind-bending performance as the insatiable psychopath earned him Best Supporting Actor Awards from the AFAA and CAFA for his mind-bending performance.

Roommates is beautifully crafted, beautifully acted and offers a rather sobering look into the struggles of big city life for three young girls trying to make it to the big time. And while it bubbles over with street cred due to its stunning level of realism, it comes up just a bit short in  the fantasy department, which unfortunately hurts its porn cred. Should that in any way sully its status as one of the all-time great classics? Watch it and decide for yourself.

Featured Star: Vanessa Del Rio

Vanessa Del RioThe iconic Vanessa Del Rio embodied the male fantasy of the sexy adult film star who does porn because she gets off on it, and plenty of women have admitted that her movies taught them to act upon their sexual desires. Many of you are likely here today because your parents fooled around after watching a Vanessa Del Rio flick.

Born in Harlem to a Puerto Rican mother and a Cuban father, Vanessa was and still is a New York girl. Before her film career, she supported herself as a sometime go-go dancer and Times Square streetwalker, among other things. Vanessa was, in short, a bad-ass long before any of us had the pleasure of getting off on her.

With her luscious lips, bodacious body (she got into bodybuilding and never lost those tits), and insatiable hunger for sex, Vanessa was practically born for porn. She has said that her private sex life back then was even wilder than her movies because there was no camera up her ass and in those days porn was part of a lifestyle, not a business. It was only the AIDS epidemic that made her briefly quit the business in the ’80s, but she came back.

Known as the “anal queen,” Vanessa was also credited with pioneering double penetration in porn, even on her first day as a performer. She Devil in Miss Jones 3filmed for about 120 productions, including loops and feature-length films, during a career that began in the mid ’70s – and is still going strong today, if you count webcam shows for her official website. Aside from her voracious sexual appetites, Vanessa’s claim to fame was being the first Latina porn star. She was also known for her 42DDs and a large clit. It never looked bigger than it did in her must-see “gangbang in hell” scene from “Devil in Miss Jones 3,” one of the most memorably weird and intensely erotic scenes of the ’80s. You might say one of Vanessa’s other claims to fame was a knack for appearing in creative adult movies, the kind we rarely see anymore.

“A Scent of Heather,” released in 1980, is an erotic drama in which two newlyweds on the brink of consummating their marriage discover they are half-siblings. They have to remain married in order to keep the estate in the bride’s family, so they swear secrecy and chastity – at least when it comes to each other. Husband Paul Thomas is finally overcome with lust and has a threeway with two maids, Vanessa and Tracey Adams. You’ll hear Vanessa begging PT to fuck her in the ass and Tracey to kiss her tits. This movie is all about the kind of eroticism that stimulates your brain, something rare in modern porn.Coed Fever

Released after “Animal House,” “Coed Fever” is the college sex comedy that Hollywood couldn’t make. There’s Vanessa on the cover, tongue-kissing a co-star. This remains one of her most popular movies for a reason: it’s truly funny while giving you a raging boner (or lady-boner, as the case may be) and it delivers one cum-inducing sex scene after another. Vanessa has a threeway in the fifth scene with Michael Morrison and a young, very different looking Ron Jeremy, and she gets her kicks with a cock at each end.

Sometimes you just want good meat-and-potatoes smut, and Vanessa was always great at that too. “Tigresses… and Other Man-Eaters” features a scene in which Vanessa plays a seductive businesswoman who lures two horny prospective partners and a secretary into her lair for fucking. There’s a little bit of girl-on-girl, but if you’re interested in seeing many sides of Vanessa then you’ve got to see “Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio.” She plays with girls and boys alike and the film ends with an orgy. It’s a great place for a generation who didn’t cut their teeth on Vanessa’s porn to start getting to know this pure sexual athlete.

Tigresses... and Other Man EatersVanessa’s popularity extended into the mainstream. She was cast as herself in a 1996 episode of “NYPD Blue” (“Head Case” was the name) and had a cameo in the music video for “Get Money” by Junior M.A.F.I.A. featuring Notorious B.I.G. in that same year.

AVN and XRCO have both honored Vanessa as a Hall of Fame member. German art book publisher Taschen released a photo-illustrated biography of her in 2007, titled Vanessa Del Rio: Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior. It’s still available, even in a swanky collectors’ edition. Of that cheeky title, Vanessa has said that by today’s standards, she thinks her sexual antics don’t seem as extreme. Oh, Vanessa, if only more women could be as “slightly slutty” as you!

Christy Canyon Acts Like a Virgin

Peter North is a normal guy who wants regular sex from his wife, so he fucks his woman in the morning. During the deed, she goes at his banana something fierce. That’s not a metaphor. She’s literally munching on a Chiquita as they fuck. It appears their sex life has waned and the two are bored with each other in the sack. At the urging of his co-workers, he begins to ponder having an affair.

It’s not much of a stretch to wonder how one goes about doing something like that in Peter’s place of work as it seems people are hooking up all over the place. Take star Christy Canyon for instance. She fingers and grinds her pussy to a solo orgasm on the President’s desk. At that point, Gail Force accidentally interrupts, but Christy invites her to a little tryst full of pussy licking and still more fingering. When Marc Wallice joins in the twosome becomes a threesome, which Peter eventually stumbles upon, but avoids.

The die, however, is cast. Peter is smitten with Christy, and wants desperately to hook up with her. The only problem is that she is the President’s administrative assistant. Besides, there are other babes that would be willing to help him in his quest. That includes tiny-titted Debra Lynn, who enjoys sucking off Peter’s buddy Jack under the desk and blonde sexpot Heather Wayne, who fucks Peter’s other buddy Bill to help him relax for his big presentation.

Peter eventually musters up the courage to go after what he is seeking and Christy obliges. But what is to become of Peter’s family life after he goes through with his plan? Watch Christy Canyon Acts Like a Virgin and find out.

Award-Winning Movies

The Devil in Miss JonesAwards season has finally ended for the year in Hollywood, but we’re never tired of talking about quality porn. You’ve heard about the award-winning movies from the last couple of years – titles such as this year’s AVN champion “Speed,” and other recent winners including “Deviance” and the popular, weirdly hot animated feature “Pornomation 3.” Then there are undisputed classics that predate AVN, the kind of movies even those who don’t watch porn have heard of: perennial bestseller “Debbie Does Dallas,” masterful porn-art fusion “The Devil in Miss Jones,” and big-natural-tit classic “Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle.” But there are many award-winning porn flicks deserving of more love; here are some from the last four decades.

Made in 1979, “Talk Dirty to Me” won the 1980 Best Film award from the Adult Film Association of America. This movie proves it’s possible to combine a good plot with hot sex. It’s a tale of seduction Talk Dirty to Mecarried out as only the late, great John Leslie could do: dirty-talking, rough around the edges, sometimes aggressive, but irresistible to many women – particularly to beautiful housewife Jessie St. James. She’s been craving the kind of filthy-mouthed fuck he dishes out, and while her prudish but loving husband is away, she becomes putty in John’s hands. The women in this film fall for his lines because he’s the master at his best. It will remind you of what it was like before plastic surgery was common, and there’s plenty of bush for body hair enthusiasts to enjoy. “Talk Dirty to Me” is a must-see for fans of late ’70s porn and couples who want something different. This highly-charged erotic classic was the first in a series that launched other great movies, including the 1985 AVN Best Film Award winner “Talk Dirty to Me 3.”

When the AVN Awards began in 1984, “Puss ‘n Boots” took the Best Screenplay – Film trophy Puss 'n Boots(yes, pornos have screenplays). Follow the randy adventures of Puss (Kelly Nichols), a hell-raising Army private who’s doing everything she can to get discharged. She tries to get knocked up, but finds out her would-be baby daddy has had a vasectomy. Next Puss tries to get discharged as a conscientious objector, but is transferred to the typing pool. Finally, Puss fakes insanity in hopes of being given a Section Eight, but ends up with a medal when she scares away a group of biker chicks looking for a fight. Along the way, we see that the women in the barracks are horny broads, into things like voyeurism, lesbian shower action, and kinky sex. Genuinely funny and hot, “Puss ‘n Boots” is like an X-rated, female “Stripes.” Video X Pix has brought this and many other adult classics back to life, including “Roommates,” another “sex and the single girl” classic starring Kelly Nichols (and the 1982 winner of “Best Film” from the Adult Film Association of America). You won’t see a more frank and unblinking depiction of female sexuality in the ’80s.

Dog WalkerWe’ve already praised John Leslie as an actor, but as a director he brought us one of the best adult films of the 1990s. “Dog Walker” was shot on film and earned many awards, from Best Director and Best Couples Sex Scene – Film at the 1995 AVN Awards to XRCO’s Best Film of the Year. Steven St. Croix is jewel thief Tito, who’s pissed off the mob and must pay. He’s beaten up and forced to watch other men fuck his wife, Kristi Lynn, who informs him that the mob owns her and he was only renting her. Meanwhile, Tito sees surreal visions of a beautiful woman in black, often walking a dog. It’s the stunning Christina Angel, who remains unobtainable as he struggles through an erotic maze and watches her fuck other men. By the time they consummate their attraction in the highly sensual, award-winning scene, it’s too late for Tito to save himself. Don’t expect the hardcore sex of today’s rougher standards, but this is a classic that any fan of feature porn should see.

Breakin' 'Em In 12In 2006, AEBN introduced the VOD Awards to recognize movies that fans voted on with their dollars. The winners of these trophies are the movies fans have viewed the most, so if you trust what’s popular with fellow porn lovers more than you trust awards committees, then you’ll be interested to know that, for example, “Breakin’ ‘Em In 12” was the Best Gonzo Movie 2010 (released in 2009). This comes as no surprise given that box cover girl Tanner Mayes is one of the hottest young babes in the biz and won the VOD Awards’ Best Newcomer award that year. Best Overall Movie 2010 was “White Mommas,” an all-sex interracial flick starring such hall of fame MILFs as Ginger Lynn and Lisa Ann. You can see all the winners from this year and every year back to 2006 at the official VOD Awards site.

Ma Mere Me Prostitue

When it comes to adult theater, it’s really tough to find anything truly shocking anymore. What began in the 60s as sexploitation and softcore, ever so surely evolved into more and more explicit territory. How did we get here? Well, filmmakers and envelopes have always had an adversarial relationship. The filmmaker pushes while the envelope tries to hold its ground, usually to the detriment of the envelope. When the envelope is displaced, the result is what we like to call a “shock and awe” moment. It is at this point that what we believe and the values we hold are severely tested.

But these moments have short life spans. Before the backlash has even had a chance to take effect, someone is trying to push the envelope once again. The ongoing process leads to mass desensitization as the new shock and awe moment makes the previous one seem not so bad by comparison. The thing is that each successive shock and awe moment has to have more shock and more awe to make an impact.

If you must, look at it much as you would inflation. Two dollars today buys you the same amount of bread that fifty cents did decades ago. Why? The price of making bread has increased and there is more money in circulation. The combination of the two means that it takes more of that money to get the same amount of bread. Continuing along those lines, anally fisted midgets on the big screen today get the same reaction as did the appearance of a nipple forty years ago. Why? The price of slack-jawed gawking has increased and there is more shock and awe in circulation than years ago. Therefore it takes more of it to elicit the same reaction.

All that said, there are some taboos that are inflation-proof. Even the slightest amount gets just as strong of a reaction now as it did then, meaning a much better return on your investment. The film Ma Mere Me Prostitue, directed by Francis Leroi and released by Alpha-France, centers on a young woman who is forced into a seamy world of gutter trash and selling ones body thanks to her mother. When she can no longer swallow her predicament, she flips the script and reverses the situation. The film touches on many of the taboos hinted at above: prostitution, forcible sex and anally-fucked males by way of a strap-on among others, making it one of the all-time successes of XXX French cinema.
