  • Jack Deveau – Drive (1974)

    Synopsis/Background wrote:
    Synopsis: The title refers both to the male sexual drive and to the fact that the hero of the movie is always tooling around Manhattan in a Lamborghini; and a villainess drag queen who tries to rid men of their sex drives! Sounds amazing, with a screenplay by Christopher Rage (who also, in drag, plays the villainess Arachne) with over 50 people in the cast – Read More »

  • Tim Kincaid – El Paso Wrecking Corp. (1978)

    Quote:

    The second in director Gage’s masterful “working men” trilogy still stands to this day as one terrific gay porn. Think of this one as the Empire Strikes Back of gay porn. This classic is the second part of Gage’s legendary trilogy (Part 1 is Kansas City Trucking Co. and Part 3 is L.A. Tool & Die) and an essential addition to any gay porn aficionado’s library. The glory hole scene is a textbook classic example of deeply slobber-filled oral and facial cumshots galore. Again, some footage from it’s initial release is missing, as the trilogy passed through many hands over the years. It makes you want to reach out and smack someone – namely studio chiefs. Still, it’s a must-see and a must-own. May the heavy-duty tissues be with you.Read More »
