From previous post of 19 years ago I recall that I must’ve heard/seen this video dozens of times at the porn theatre on 3rd Avenue and 13th, and always associated The B-52’s Legal Tender with that movie. But back in 2001, when I purchased a video copy of Making It Huge, none of the soundtrack was there! In fact, they had done such a poor job of re-editing with a porno-standard Casio-synth soundtrack, that all dialogue was off! An awful job, and I forgot to keep one of these bad copies for posterity. But check your own copy if you have one. Anyway, from what I remember, these are a few of the tunes in the movie:
- A Girl In Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing) – ROMEO VOID
- Send Me An Angel – REAL LIFE
- Legal Tender – B-52’S
- Edge Of The Razor – STEPHANIE MILLS
- Unison – LAURA BRANNIGAN
Alas, even in this original better version, they got lazy, and re-looped the same 5-8 tunes throughout the movie – anyone interested in checking this out for sure to see if I missed any tunes, I can arrange a full movie download.

I heard both the B-52s and Stephanie Mills songs you already identified in the clip above, one the one hand those songs aren’t the greatest by those artists so it had my mind wandering to better ones like Rock Lobster and Pilot Error, respectively. On the other hand, the fact that you have this rarer version is something, because the later releases with the sound messed up has got to be a result of the unlicensed use of the pop music from the original videotape.
Also pause the clip above at around 5:30, Jim Bentley has just walked into the bedroom and there’s a Billy Idol poster on the wall, and as the camera continues panning left … there’s that same poster we were trying to identify from Michael Christopher’s bedroom in Pleasure Beach! Maybe Michael contributed the poster for both films? I don’t know if we ever conclusively determined who that is, the model or the artist but it seems like the kind of posters you would see in the stores in the mall during that time.

i always find it disappointing when they have such a good cock like daniel holt’s or david ashfield’s and they don’t make the most of it and showcase it better. the “fucking” shots in the scene here are so lackluster what a missed opportunity especially with such a mouthwatering cock and cause daniel has a beard and looks great.
Remember when I asked about the poster of the shirtless guy in jeans with a towel around his neck, seen in this movie as well as in Michael Christopher’s bedroom in Pleasure Beach? I asked on reddit and someone found the source, apparently the artist’s name is Verkerke and the poster dates to 1982 which means it was still pretty new when it was seen in these two films. Just wanted to let you know:

Zephyr, you find the best links!
I was not familiar with Verkerke. I love it. Too bad the watermark mars the art, but I understand why. People like me will just save the photo and not buy the poster.
