LOVE Joe Gage‘s 1981 film, HANDsome; wish there was a way to pull just the soundtrack – Manny Parrish – excellent job!
Director: Mac Larson (aka Joe Gage) (1983)
Starring: Daniel Holt, Keith Anthoni, John Schaft, Gerry Condit, Jeff Stone, Garrison Belt, Bill Anawitt, Tharon Davis, and Tristan Carson
Connecting the main characters (Richard Locke and Fred Halsted) with the next scene, Fred nearly hits bicyclist Keith Anthoni. Keith makes his way further down the road until he finds Ken Brown sitting in his stalled car. Keith offers to help and the two start fantasizing about having sex with each other (and if you pay close attention, some others). The version most of you have seen is a bit choppy, including most if not all of the DVD versions – it’s missing about 2-1/2 minutes of footage) ( I have yet to confirm if the most recent collection that has the “Trilogy” all in one package, has this unedited scene). Basically they had to edit out the piss – which is rough since the repeated mantra from Keith Anthoni is “might as well take a piss while I’m here” (and by the way strongly suspect that’s not Keith’s voice in the scene – but I digress) – at least after the ladies who ran TMX (topman Video-X) ran afoul of the law when the version they distributed contained the full, unedited theatrical version. So, anyway… while not the best quality, clicking one of the pics below will get you the full scene.

So, the other day I am looking something up, and through GEVI I discover, or realize rather, that Dick Trask is in Erotic Hands which I never knew before (I think I have the tape somewhere, but sorta skimmed it), and then I am poking around more stuff, and learn more stuff, so I need to confirm by going to the actual videotape, which I have to find in the assorted boxes stored and stashed around the apartment but my VCR doesn’t seem to work since I got the new HDTV last Christmas or whenever…. it’s actually a bunch of jumbled wires and usually I’m good at this stuff, but now the best I can come up with is watching a VHS tape in black and white, so some thing is wrong, and an hour later I think I got it, and then see another guy in a related movie pops up, unexpectedly, but I no longer have the ability to convert clips to digital, so I take a couple of snaps (the stills you see above) and figure why not add a quick clip, so y’all can tell me if it’s him…. and now, since GEVI has some of the info jumbled, and some not quite right, or sorta out of order, I am compelled to watch the whole movie to figure who’s in it, and who’s doing who, and in what order.
All that just to ask y’all – it’s him, right?
