A HONCHO photospread from Steve Scott‘s Turned On – how many from the original cast listing (Al Parker, Sky Dawson, Beau Matthews, Jim King (AKA J.W. King), Gian Carlos, Joel Thomas, Greg Dale, Jim Rodgers, Bob Moore, John Trent, Lee Brubaker, Rick Faulkner; special appearance by Scott Taylor; cameos by Mike Davis and Steve Taylor) are in the pic below; and how many men were in the film (like the jockstrap scene, for example) who were never credited?

Damn! Just had a super nice rush of memories coming across your blog! Haven’t seen it in years and it’s nice to see it still going strong – aways loved your site. Actually our paths crossed a number of times back in the day and I came across one of my vintage AOL pics you posted (4/18/21)…where did the years go, eh? You now have another loyal reader, BJ!
…how many men were in the film
Who knows? It’s like a Gage film. I guess I’m less interested in how many (A LOT) as much as naming them. All those anonymous dicks. I’d have to go through the whole video slowly and carefully to find all of the “names” from the cast listing, if they actually appear as a whole person or just a dick or ass.
I don’t know off hand if I have a copy, but it might be fun to do just that. Make an evening of it! Slowly and carefully, looking at each cock and ass. Also taking notes, because I’m that crazy person, but mostly enjoying myself.
That cast photo from Honcho is terrific. I wish it were larger so we could see everyone.
Did we ever identify ‘sploogy guy’? From the scene with Scott Taylor sucking himself in front of a small audience, he was the dark haired stud who jacks off (or maybe one of the guys who does so, can’t recall that in much detail). It seems like we had some theories but I don’t know if it was ever solved, and searching this blog now is much harder without that function visible — the times I’ve done so recently I wind up opening a search engine and using *site:bjland* to narrow it down. But with as many posts as have derived from this film over the years, yeah well I’m interested but also doing my own stuff today and rushed for time.
Unless Al kept a list that has never been made public I’m not sure the full cast list will ever be known (same with the ‘Gage Men’), especially some of the guys whose faces are not seen in the parade of dicks, butts or jockstraps. Al might have even recruited some guys who were just patrons of Mac’s Baths that night and said, hey you wanna have your dick and headless torso be in a porn movie? Sky or I might even suck it for a while.
I think the discussion over here – name that… –

Woody from GEVI; says it’s Rick Faulkner. I think he’s right. “
Thank you, BJ honey … I think?
“Just to be clear, IF you are right, we are most definitively NOT giving you credit!” Stingy! : (
Well! Why do I even bother? “I feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of gay porn!” : |
Honestly, zephyr! Usually I call you “breezy“! “… But I call you Stormy today… Bring back that sunny day!” – Classic IV: 1968. *SPANKY-SPANKY!*
Rick Faulkner had three scenes in “Greenhorn (1982)” – two of them, back to back. First duo scene is with Gian Carlo. The second is with Andy Fuller. Rick looks exactly like he does in “Turned On! (1982)” – dark, curly hair!
Fast forward to the 40:03 mark! It’s clearly him! : D
(Hope these links work!) : |

In the closing credits, Faulkner is listed as “Ranch Hand/Tub Scene”.

When will you guys FINALLY realize, that when it come to vintage porn, “I”, not “WE”, am simply RIGHT (except when I’m not)! LOL! ; )
Don’t worry zephyr! I forgive you. Try to stay cool and breezy! ; )
Thanks Johnny-My Pet-Llama! For the most part, you’re well behaved – good student! ;
Ah, BJ honey! So much correcting, identifying, informing, researching, scolding, spanking, posting, and for WHAT?! The thanks I get! My work is never done! Tsk-Tsk! : / : (
Is it any wonder, why I’ll never catch up? Too many distractions! : /
; )
Well done Obsessed!
Yes BJ I think that was one of the posts where we discussed ‘sploogy guy’ but maybe not the only one? Hard for me to remember those specifics.
Oh great Obsessed, now I’m ‘stormy’ ?? Am I staring down an orange turd in a courtroom that needs to be flushed? I wish someone would … anyway I do remember that now, I had some reservations as to whether or not the dark haired stud from Turned On was indeed him though I can’t remember where else he would have been found. Unless, as Johnny mentioned he was maybe a headless dick in or out of a jockstrap.
The hair is notably different but I guess he could have just gotten it cut shorter, or dyed lighter. He seems leaner in films like Dangerous and Gold Rush Boys, though a number of performers experienced that without expecting it during that timeframe, which makes me wonder about how honest Al was being about his alleged bar fight in Mexico.
I have seen Greenhorn though it’s been years, so I’m less familiar with that one. But if there’s a consensus I’ll go along with it, so maybe I can go back to just being breezy and not in the gale force category ;)
Turned On is filmed well; the whole dream sequence–most of the film–just grabs you. The sound effects change into music & it turns into various orgies.
