caution

from TARGET: JAVELIN #1 (1975) – with models like Bruno, Chuck Samson, Brand, Dino, Reb, Barry, Nick, Zack, Dennis Johnson, Steve Packard – who is this? (Retrostuds has him ID’d as Dutch Rainer) That name pops up again in TARGET ALBUM #1, (1981), the 1982 Target Calendar (which as I am typing and researching I realize I sold back in 2005! Nooooooo!), and some 1981 photosets – no known film work

and of course our buddy over at Retrostuds has plenty more from Javelin #1 – but I only see the one page of this guy.

heading to my pornoharddrive – I find this from the 1982 Target calendar. So who is the guy above?

Surge Studios – flashback

So I’m working on a post involving Al Parker‘s 1981 film Flashback and notice these photographs with photographs in the background – clearly Al’s office or home office (perhaps Surge Studios has an office, why not?). Isn’t the one of Will Seagers from Wanted adorable?

Tough Competition



Director: Casey Lee Klinger and Richard Morgan (1984/5?) 82 minutes running time (watch this; some versions are shorter!)

Starring: Kyle Carrington, Scott Avery, Dan Parks, Doug Weston, Stephen Kolis, Jim Bentley, David Leslie, Jeffrey Lanse, Rydar Hanson, Joey Roma. music by Rutherford Sound

In this opening scene, Kyle Carrington wins a swim meet and is interviewed by TV reporter Doug Weston in the lockerroom.


From what I can tell, Carrington’s porno career is limited to 2 original movies – Tough Competition and Popular Mechanics; scenes from which make up a 3rd, The All-American Man; and then those same scenes find their way in at least 8 other compilation tapes. In some newer versions of Tough Competition, notably from MIDNIGHT MEN, it does not have the full-length solo of Carrington in bed and in front of a dresser mirror oiling up. The music is provided by Rutherford Sound.

BILLY the grocery boy

AAAArrrgggghhhh! One of my readers (and I would add contributor – you know who you are) got me hooked on reddit – seemingly harmless enough. My first 2 days on the gay porn subreddits I enjoyed ID’ing pics and vids, then quickly spent less time daily, and just a couple check ins. But occasionally, something would send me down the rabbit hole of researching… and this pops up Friday

I know I know this, I know I know this….. Cosco? Fox Studio? from Halsted’s Earth Man series? Butch Barnes, Butch Barnes! who’s the other guy??? some time later I’ve figured it out, post my finding (Fox Studio’s Furlough contained in the Muscle Up collection). and my buddy confirms I’m right, but points something out while not seen in the animated GIF above, there’s not only one other guy (I knew that) but claims there is a fourth. And of course mentions the Patrick Cowley music .. so now I am compelled – COMPELLED – to dig out the VHS and watch, listen, perhaps digitize – but its not on my collection list. So I go to the hard drive for evidence, and only see the boxcover art, and image I created back in the summer of 2017. Did I sell it, did I sell it? no eBay auction file, so maybe it’s here – somewhere – in the porn basement, and I just neglected to add it to the porno collection spread sheet. I located the 3 other FOX VHS tapes I have, but alas, no Muscle Up. typo. what about a typo? maybe its a typo – I search for “Mucsle_Up” in my files, and BAM! I see I sold that darn thing in 2017, back when I was trying to lighten the load for the big move, as well as put some dough in the bank before leaving the full-time job. So then I try various websites to see if I can easily find the scenes, and that’s all of this morning, into the afternoon when I give up. BUT but but..

But. let’s go back to some harddrive file searches, Fox Studios, Muscle Up (and various misspellings) , then FOX_BROCHURE and we get this, below!

Hitchhiking marine stud BUTCH BARNES gets a lift from DENNIS and back at DENNIS’s house they strip for a swim and wind up sucking and screwing. DENNIS’s gardener MARIO watches through the window. MARIO almost shoots when he sees BILLY the grocery boy arrive and BUTCH sucking him to a 10-1/2″ climax. Too much for MARIO he climbs in the window and….

and..? AND?

below are my notes from when I (stupidly) sold my large original color big box VHS version of MUSCLE UP

note: used VHS videocassette tape, IN BOX, plays fine

Director: (non credited) (1981 VHS release) 65 minutes running time + 17 minutes of previews

Starring: Tom LeDuc, Tex Murdock, Kurt Lassen, Mark Rutherford, Butch Barnes, Jeff York; Dennis Costa, Mario Venzal, (don’t forget BILLY)

  • Muscle Up – Tom Leduc with Kurt Lassen frolicking and posing in the sun while at the pool. It soon turns into a passionate all embracing muscle worship love scene.
  • Big Shot (AKA The Quarterback) – Next handsome, super hung, Mark Rutherford performs in his only solo and adds whopping new dimensions to just a shower.
  • Leather Bond – Muscular, leather hunk, Tex Murdock gets adored by equally muscular Tom LeDuc in a sexy body worship with a leather twist. We originally called this hot loop “Leather Bound”.
  • Furlough – Butch Barnes, at the time an enlisted Marine, and his muscular Marine lover, whom he brought to us from the base; show us the intensity of their hot rugged love for each other, in a passionate sex scene Mario the gardener watches, then joins! (and? and????)
  • Originally shot and edited on 16mm film.
  • amazing music soundtrack by Patrick Cowley – look it up!
  • + 17 minutes of previews for other FOX STUDIOS titles

HARD MEN:
No Strings Attached

remember mid-80’s when they tried to sell porn stars as dancers, and these no-sex videos came out?

Starring: Rocky Armano, John Rocklin, Johnny Davenport, Douglas O’Keefe, Jason Lowe

I sold my copy back in 2002 – from my notes: Clocking in at only 30 minutes running time; 5 guys dance (solo) and strip, in a different outfit each. While each is clearly excited once each is naked, there is NO SEX!

I think this was originally produced for mail order only, gay porn stars featured with the idea of appealing to women (one scene has a female fan watching John Davenport – shown above).

The Gardener and the Rug Man

looks like its from The Gardener and the Rug Man scene – but alas, I don’t recall anything in the film with these two pissing (and artfully colorized)
