Pride Video assembled some old favorites together in a soft-core, solo adventure that begins with a bang but heads toward a fizzle. It was shot in 1994, at the height of some of these performers' careers, and seeing a lot of them again made me all nostalgic.
We open with Ted Matthews, he of the incredibly toned body, terrific hairy chest, tight ass and big dick fame (although you never see that big dick hard in this one - remember, this is soft core). Matthews' lover, Clint Benedict (in a cameo non-sex role) ,heads to bed while Matthews is fiddling with a video camera. He gets some nice exploratory shots of himself and that great body, but it ends way too quick.
Next we have young Danny Bliss on a beach amongst the surf and sand as waves crash upon him. Manly Randy White is next, in his underwear in a shower, soaping up and rinsing off for our enjoyment. Then Ryan Block is dreaming (I think) and conjures up studly Johnny Rahm, and they have a dual J/O. Actually, I'm not sure what the hell's going on in this scene. One minute they're stripping for each other, next they're kissing on a wrestling mat in some bar, then Rahm is walking the streets. I was very confused, but seeing Rahm made up for that.
The final two scenes star unknown actors. There's a blond stroking his soft meat in the woods and joined by a handsome, sunglassed stranger with a five o'clock shadow, and then there's another blond in his backyard.
I don't mind solo films or soft-core films. However, throwing the two of them together makes no sense to me. You can't see any erections, except in shadows (and I do admit that there are some intriguing things done with shadows), there's no sucking, no fucking, only posing. Hell, if I want to watch a hot guy pose, I'll just grab a porno mag....
