  • Daryl Duke – Payday (1973)

    Drama1971-1980CultDaryl DukeUSA

    Synopsis
    Rip Torn stars as Maury Dann, a mid-level country singer on a tour through the south. The road is Maury’s playground, and he liberally indulges in drugs, alcohol, and sexual relations with the willing women he finds along the way. But when the angry boyfriend of a woman with whom he’s had a liason with spots Maury in a restaurant, suddenly he has a bigger problem than just making sure that he gets paid. Torn turns in a strong performance as the unscrupulous performer and does a fine job singing the Shel Silverstein-penned country tunes. Payday stands as a lost gem of early 1970’s American cinema.Read More »

    review:
    Yassuda is on the run. In truth, he should be in his car, with money that was to have
    been robbed from a bank, with a gun bought from Yakuza. He could have come off
    well had he not forgotten the mask! Now he is on the run with a pursuer hot on his
    trail.Read More »

    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 »
