Director David Babbitt's "Bad Moon Rising" (1995) tells the story of a wanted man who has no shortage of guys who are willing to aid and abet him in his run from the law. Seeing as how the wiry, heavy-hung Luc Russell plays the fugitive, this comes as no surprise -- but when Luc's crime is revealed, it becomes a bit more incredible that anyone would help him. Of course, this revelation doesn't come until near the end, after a lot of hot and heavy action (of the sexual kind, not the shootout kind) has occurred.
Gunplay looks inevitable, though, when Luc first encounters dirty-blond boy-toy Chad Knight, who meets him with his rifle fully cocked and loaded (that's not a metaphor -- okay, maybe it is, but he's carrying a real rifle). Whether it's Luc's craggy good looks or his washboard abs that does the trick, it isn't long before Chad has put down his rifle and is blowing Luc in an outdoor shower-slash-bathtub. Luc's dick is beautiful: it's long, meaty, and covered with a perfect foreskin, which Chad works over with his lips and tongue. The action between the two studs is entirely oral, and it's pretty much wet throughout, with the shower raining down on the pair's naked bodies. Both dudes look like they have sunburns (which is also true for some of the other studs in the production) but it certainly doesn't impede the action. The scene concludes with Luc and Chad out of the water, on the edge of the tub. Chad reclines and exposes his asshole and Luc tongue-fucks it, and Chad shoots his load all over Luc's hairy thighs, then Luc strokes off, his cum flying all over Chad, dripping off his slim, buff torso.
No sooner have Luc and Chad enjoyed their first orgasm together than three strangers arrive: Max Stone, Eric Marx and Kurt Lundgren. Oddly, Luc greets them and offers to let them stay overnight in the barn -- for a fugitive from the law he's awfully trusting. Anyway, of course Max, Eric and Kurt find ways to amuse themselves while overnighting. Max, whose creamy, smooth-skinned muscles and shaved head are very hot, bottoms for Eric and so does muscle stud Kurt, whose nipples stay erect while Eric is fucking him. Kurt's nipples and chest also looks great in the finale, when both Eric and Max let their cum fly, drenching the hunk with cum.
Chad moons over Luc, who has mysteriously disappeared. He tracks down Luc's former lover, Brad Hunt, who is "living like Thoreau" in the woods. Chad finds Brad by using some photographs Luc has left behind (and they can't catch this guy?). Chad and Brad, after bemoaning the fact that they have been ruined for other men by Luc's charms, then work themselves into an erotic stupor by talking about how hot he is. Interesting new foreplay trick, no? Unorthodox, to be sure, but it works. Brad has the kind of face, body and dick that are made for porn -- every square inch of him just oozes sexual attraction. Chad and Brad perform in a bedroom fitted out with a full-length mirror over the bed, which is great for seeing more than one angle of the action at a time, and both dudes, but Brad especially, with his thick, sensual lips, look great with their mouths full of cock. Brad's thick dick also looks amazing parting Chad's tight buttcheeks as Chad rides atop it. Plus, I love the way Brad purses his lips as he thrusts into Chad missionary, with Chad's ass spread wide open for Brad's amusement. Chad shoots his load while Brad is plowing his ass, and then Brad pulls out and creams all over Chad while smearing Chad's load around with his open palm.
In a flashback scene, we learn why Luc is on the run from the law. It all happened when Luc and Brad were on a hiking trip in the woods, where they encountered a hot three-way in progress between Casey Williams, Marc Brodey and Danny Orlis. Luc and Brad hang around to watch as the dudes suck and fuck, but there is another voyeur in hiding, played by golden, godlike bodybuilder Bob MacHeath. Bob, in addition to having a pumped-up physique and boy-next-door good looks, and a short, stumpy, uncut dick, is also bad news (figures, right?). He hauls his dick out of his fatigue pants and pisses, and then he scares off Luc and Brad by yelling at them, which somehow the guys in the three-way don't hear, and then he watches them and jerks off. In fact, Casey, Marc and Danny are oblivious to all of this drama until the very end of their scene together. After a lot of switching positions, and a lot of gleeful fucking and sucking, Marc spews his load over Danny's shoulder while Casey is fucking Danny.
This is where the trouble part comes in. Now that he's gotten his rocks off watching them, Bob steps in and threatens the three studs with a gun. From nowhere, Luc appears and kills Bob with his bow and arrow. And there's more -- not only did Luc kill Bob, he also killed Casey, Marc and Danny, who were the only witnesses to the crime. But does this bother Brad and Chad? Hell, no, all they can think about is getting some more of Luc's big, uncut dick. They'll be on the run for the rest of their lives, but who cares, as long as the fucking is good. The big finale begins with an open-air three-way that defines just how hot the fucking will be, with Chad bottoming for both Brad and Luc, after the three share hot all-around blowjobs. Then the action moves inside, and a daisy-chain suck scene ensues. Chad's ass looks like it's going to split open as Brad forces his dick inside, while Chad's throat is filled with Luc's uncut meat. Chad then changes to missionary, and Luc fucks him with hard, fast strokes. All three studs kneel and jerk off in the end, with Brad shooting first, followed in quick succession by the other two.
With fine direction by Babbitt, excellent videography by Bruce Cam, and a semi-credible plot, it's good to finally see this one on DVD. But its main asset is the excellent cast, some of whom made very few gay videos. DVD features: Chapters; gallery; and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
