Prowlers – (1981) – AKA – starring Ed Wiley and Mark Rutter ; film #(MV-60 and MV-608) – found in at least 3 COLT video collections – Colt VT-310 (original video release) then The Best of Colt Films 2; and The Best of Colt Films 12
I’ve posted at least one version – under Rutter’s link – but the first version, above, is 30 seconds longer, and different music! Can anyone figure out what’s missing in version 2, below?
““I picked the guys and I picked the clothes. Cut their hair, pluck their eyebrows, shaved ’em. Scrubbed their feet and bleached them so they had nice, white feet. Tan them up and oil them down…”” – John Summers
So, I don’t mean to reduce an excellent, well-researched, and fascinating article into one silly quote – but maybe I just did! I had NO IDEA about John Summers, partly cuz other than the handful of porn directors I go to all the time, FALCON (while having a ton of good material) never seemed director-focused – BUT, mostly, seriously, it wouldn’t have occurred to me that a major player at Falcon all those years was Black.
So you must check out Kelvin Blunt‘s recent piece – John Summers: The Black Co-Founder of Falcon Studios – from the intro: “Summers was attached to movies that were polished, popular, and, in some cases, quietly influential including The Bigger The Better, Two Handfuls, Rock Hard, and Don’t Kiss Me I’m Straight.” Particularly interesting is Summers’ role in Style – so check out the article, then come back and check the clip out.
Below we got a clip, Watercolors found in Falcon’s 1982 film, Style that is mentioned in the article. Also, he mentions this documentary Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes story of – which I think I contributed a couple dollars to several years back, got a complimentary copy, and then stowed it away and never watched – insane, right??!
The Matinee Idol – (1995) Director: Gino Colbert
Speaking of Hank Hightower…..
I’ve sold this tape at least 3 times – the top pic is the actual big box from what I sold; below one of the boxless cassettes.
From my notes: Ken Ryker is The Matinee Idol, a Hollywood heartthrob with a dark past: he starred in gay porn before making it in the straight world. The plot concerns the nefarious desire of a tabloid journalist (shady Rob Cryston) to out Ryker and destroy his career. First scene you are teased with a naked Ryker, but he has to leave the set of the porno movie – poor hairy hunk Hank Hightower must fill in and give oral to Vince Rockland; then hairy legs in the air!”
Hank’s acting isn’t bad, but his co-stars? especially when they get to the sex part!
the sexy dialogue – at the height of 90’s dirty-talking porno guys –
“do that”
“you want me to do that?”
“yeah, do that!”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah!”

if you don’t get the title reference, check out – I’m Ryan Idol!
remember fringe?
How come I never noticed Hank’s tattoo? Nevermind – but one of my fave Hank Hightower scenes is the one above with Donnie Russo, from Total Corruption (1993). I was wondering how early in Hank’s career this was, and found out 1993 seems to be the beginning of his porno work, with 5 videos released – and 3 of them with Donnie Russo! Perhaps this was his first? If you haven’t clicked the video clip yet, notice at the onset when the narrating rookie cop seemed surprised to find out men hustle sex for money. Oh, rookie!

Hank Hightower (AKA Hank Tower)’s 1993 output:
In all, I think they did 10-12 movies together, but alas I couldn’t DID find Righteous Revenge from the same year – thanks to YorjYefferson and his Righteous Revenge review.
be forewarned – this has NO SEX – just the capture of Hank and the chance for Donnie and Hank to show their acting chops (with minimal help from Dallas Taylor – but he’s a hairy blond, so we give him a pass)
OK, OK! If you actually watched the entire clip – good for you – let’s dip into 1994 for what I think is a better scene with the pair, and we get to spend a few minutes admiring their CONSTRUCTION MEN’s OUTFITS (Donnie, tell me you still have that shirt!) before any action takes place.
Faultline (1994) – Hank does his best to resist…. but can he? Do they get interrupted? Do I love Donnie dirty-talking while tit-licking and keeping his eyes on Hank’s cumshot at the end? (OOPs, did I ruin the plot? Not to worry, there’s more than what we see here.)
of course there’s a boot shot!
oh my – this look at a 1996 magazine looked promising, with just the hint of rubber boots (“waders”) peeking out, but, what? Just a peek??!
But the model, Mike Fritscher (familiar “family” name!) was in just one movie – My Nephew! My Lover! – oh! OH MY! You gotta give it to Palm Drive – titles alone can get you going! (Like Sex My Father Taught Me (AKA Uncut Tit Animal two sexy titles in one! maybe try My Nephew, My Thigh Master)
but I digress. Another simple one-pic post going down a rabbit hole to find… ugh. Not enough. But, eventually we will hunt down a copy of Powerplay No12 and more importantly – MEN IN BOOTS
ummmm – “Shot solo by Jack Fritscher, Cover Photograph features Mike Jacobs (AKA Mike Fritscher) of Palm Drive Video’s feature, My Nephew, My Lover in “Rubber Hip Boots with Hose.” Mike Jacobs, IML (International Mr. Leather) contestant, also appears 3 times in the photobook, Jack Fritscher’s American Men. OK, someday we will follow up on this!
