there’s something about the look on Lee’s face that makes me love this photo. Not keen on the quality of many of the pics from this magazine (Long Ryder – many images also appear in Bullpen), but these are a couple of the better ones. As you probably know, in the film Lee Ryder plays a drifter who stumbles upon a western being made in the California desert, and begins an affair with the star of the film, Eric Ryan. yadda yadda yadda, by the end of the film Lee is fucking around with Eric’s personal assistant, Jon King. I left in the closing 2 minutes, which includes credits and theme song.
Director: Steve Scott (1984)
Starring: Lee Ryder, Jon King, Eric Ryan, Michael Carr, Robert Vega, Brian Palmer, Champ Larue, Mike Braun, Danny Combs; this (final) scene: Lee Ryder and Jon King
Original song Lookin’ written by Kelchy McHong, performed by Robert Kimbrough

Nothing like a Darras rush. He was one of a kind.
Oh, I agree, it’s a sublime picture–including Lee’s Marilyn Monroe eyes. But his lover proves one of my most fondly held cosmetic theories: An already beautiful man is made infinitely more so with a gorgeous Prick in his mouth–and he is really loving sucking. I couldn’t tell from your text who he is, I sort of remember Jon King, but from so many years ago, and you mention some others in the film, so I’m not sure. Thanks.
I’ve got some obscure and random trivia for you about this movie BJ, and the other readers here. Impress your friends! Let me set up an earlier scene from before your clip, two crew members are sharing a room: Michael Carr is sleeping naked and face down on one bed; while Champ LaRue (Chi Chi’s much better looking older brother? just kidding) sips a beer and starts stroking himself, splitting his attention between the TV and ogling Michael’s butt. Champ gets down on his knees between the beds to get a closer look at his co-worker, Michael eventually rolls over, and Champ strokes out a load onto the carpet while sniffing Michael’s crotch, but not sucking him or waking him up. Pretty hot scene despite no actual sex aside from Champ’s j/o. Aside from the theme song Lookin’ at the beginning and end of the film, this is the only scene that has any added audio, coming from the late night movie on the TV. What movie is it? Yes I’m nerdy enough to have taken the time to figure this out, and I hope I haven’t told you this before, answer in a link at the bottom of this comment.
I honestly believe that this is one of the best porn films of the 80s, it’s got a simple and yet effective plot that keeps the primary characters moving towards something. And the sex scenes are all at least decent, if not incredibly hot as the last one from your clip is, with Lee Ryder and Jon King. Jon is very hard just sucking Lee, Lee has some natural dirty talk that he doesn’t overdo, just enough which when combined with the moans and grunts it works extremely well with the visuals. And when the fuck portion starts, with Jon starting out riding him cowboy and then bending over on the bed so Lee can get his long dick way up in there, it’s filmed really well and focused right in on the hottest part. Steve Scott was a brilliant director, and I have always thought this was one of his best. I also love how Jon calls out Lee’s name a few times while he’s being railed, even though Lee’s character was supposedly named John (and Jon was “Jimmy from wardrobe”). Jon must have been enjoying that fuck every bit as much as it looked like, thrashing and grunting and screaming “LEE!!” That always makes me chuckle.
Thank you so much for including the song at the end in that clip too, my copy of the film has the opening and closing credits lopped off and I wanted to hear at least some of the song, though it fades out on your clip before it’s quite done. I hope to add that song to my soundcloud so maybe I’ll get around to doing that soon. Great post, OK so here’s the trivia answer:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079094/
i vaguely remember the TV movie, and Martin Sheen, but had to peek. and i KNEW you’d want the song included!
and STEVE SCOTT is great in his use of sound – often radio and sometimes TV in the background, and egad – sometimes no musical soundtrack!
OK – i guess I have to be the one to say it, but could LEE have a flatter ass??? I mean… well, you can’t have everything, and JON’s ass more than makes up for it
I’m cursed with the same kind of backside, my mom says all the men in her family got grampa’s low hips and Irish flat pancake ass. Jockstraps look utterly ridiculous on me from the back, just two strips of cloth dangling back there. You do notice it on Lee in a few of those pics and in the film, but what he’s got up front more than makes up for it.
Thanks for letting it run all the way to the end and including the song, and for sure agreed about Steve Scott’s use of music, he was up there with Deveau and Higgins in how well he used the audio and video to complement each other.
I had no idea, Zephyr. I don’t even remember the scene, but I love that you knew that!
It’s because of your description of that scene I want to re-watch the movie. Champ LaRue is one of those completely under-appreciated guys. Appeared in only three films: Screen Play, Job Site & Giants 2. He was not outstanding, but he was a handsome guy with a lightly furry chest and a nice cock. I can never find any pics of him on his own though. BJ did a thing though once, I think. Or not. I looked and did not find much. Maybe he could one day? Hint, hint.

Interestingly, at least to me, is that Job Site co-starred Eric Ryan as well, while Giants part 2 co-starred Jon King. Such a small world of gay porn, right?
I haven’t seen this one in many years. I seem to remember a scene where something was happening under the table. Based on this post and the comments, I will need to revisit. Thanks for the video clip BJ! The end scene is incredibly hot, but I wanna’ re-watch the rest also.
Lee Ryder is another favorite. You’re sooo right Zephyr, he was very good at dirty talk. Honestly, I wish more gay porn stars had that ability. His solo JO in “The Big Surprise” also demonstrates that. He talks right to the camera. It’s unforgettable!

I never really noticed the flat ass. I’m not really an ass man, although I do appreciate a good one. In Lee Ryder’s case, I was usually very distracted by the Giant Dick. He was such a wisp of a man, tall and thin, I guess we wouldn’t really expect a lot of ass. Great pairing with Jon King!
Thanks BJ!
Yes I agree Johnny, this has been one of my favorites since the first time I saw it in a porn theatre way back when it was a new release. Or new-er anyway, guess I wasn’t quite old enough to have seen it in 1984 but it was no more than a few years old. Memories, like the corners of my mind …
The scene you’re remembering parts of is set in a rather crowded but small restaurant, everybody is eating breakfast but Eric Ryan and Lee Ryder are seated at their own table. And Eric gives Lee one of the hottest handjobs I’ve ever seen in a porno, while they both try to act discreet about what Eric’s other hand is busy doing. Robert Vega notices what they’re doing, and has this look he gives right into the camera that is priceless. And of course, the close-up camera under the table captures Lee’s ropes firing out and landing on the floor. I also love when Michael Braun cums into the pool towards the end, while watching the guy jacking off in the window. Cum looks funny floating around in a pool, and underwater camera shots are pretty rare even now, let alone in the 80s.
BTW, there is a 3rd mag that features photos from the Lee Ryder/Jon King scene, which is called “Wild Ryder.” There may be more. I think it’s a testament to the hotness of the pairing.
And circling back to the REAL Lee Ryder, here’s most of the theme song, bookended by the instrumental harmonica version. I added some dirty talk audio from the above scene over the last segment, let me know what you think.
