Two Handfuls – (1986) – director: John Travis (plus Matt Sterling, John Summers) precondom (surprising? it was a sellers term on eBay, somehow better than “vintage” I guess). I sold this in 2002, and again in 2007
Starring: Brian Maxon, Mike Henson, Kevin Wiles (aka Gary Hurt), Steve Wright, Michael Gere, Jerry Dunne, David Edwards, Tom (Thom) Littlewolf, Carl Walters, Bill Bix, Ron Taylor, Mike Stefano, Matt Ramsey, Doug Jensen, Clint Parker, Shane Michaels. (87 minutes running time) – some of these guys are barely noticeable in the movie, as they are in a scene where most are faceless. This scene, Gary Hurt, Mike Henson and Steve Wright.
Handsome guy in blue speedo reading stories by the poolside from FirstHand magazine; we also seem him work up a sweat on an exercise bike, between stories. Previously on BJland: For the under-40 crowd who wouldn’t remember porno theatres (maybe that’s under 50, today?)
(I think these are nearly the came clips, one is a minute less than the other?)

Steve Wright is buck naked in Tyger Tales introducing the scenes to the audience; he breaks the 4th wall. He’s in the final scene.
I dug around trying to figure out the exact issue of FirstHand that blue speedo guy (Carl Walters) reads, but I struck out. That porn theatre scene is probably the best known, and pretty hot. As you mentioned in your original review, when Gary/Kevin and Mike are walking in they actually stop off for popcorn and soda … did you EVER see a porn theatre that offered those kinds of refreshments? Maybe a vending machine for candy bars, soda or even cigarettes but no popcorn! I admit I never went to the Adonis and remember the dude at the juice bar in the film with Jack Wrangler and Malo, but that seems like an exception to what became the rule by the time I was old enough to venture through the doors of those places.
There was a lot of belated confusion when the collection Big & Thick came out a few years later, they took most of the scenes from this movie (plus The Bigger The Better), edited them down and rearranged the order, leaving a garbled mess. That was one of the first instances of crappy editing that I remember noticing, back in my renting tapes on VHS years. Could be that the second, shorter clip came from Big & Thick instead of the original film.
Actually now that I watched both clips, they’re both short segments from the complete scene (and in fact, overlap by a few seconds). The full scene would start with Kevin and Mike buying their tickets and stopping off at the refreshment stand, while the voiceover talks about how porn theatres are a great way to make some extra cash if you can find some guy who wants a blowjob. Which is another suspension of disbelief, I never had anybody offer to pay me to either suck my dick or if I were to suck his, it was freebies all around in my experience. Kevin cums, asks Steve to hit on Mike a few rows back, Mike is nervous but soon gets into the spirit of the setting, and then they all strip down and start fucking as well as sucking. The second clip cuts off before all three of them lay down in the aisle which is where it concludes, at least in the original Two Handfuls version since as I said, Big & Thick chops it up and makes it more confusing.
Was always wondering when this might crop up. Love this film for sure, but also love the sequel (even more!), “Two Handfuls 2” that came out in ’89. Those were the glory(hole) days of porn. ;)~~~
