I wasn’t planning on a 2nd, er 3rd post on same guy in one week, but something about this film – Come ‘n Take It, If Ya Can! (1978) – made me realize I must. Sure, the decent resolution pics of Joe’s plaid shirt (and his other stuff) – and I could’ve just tossed those into the videography, but. Take a look at the first pic, something that in the film isn’t so clear, literally and figuratively. The other men at the beginning… at some sort of abandoned sex warehouse, and yet, no one takes an interest in Joe? Willing suspension of disbelief much?
Could become a subcategory of “porno pet peeves” – men introduced in a film who we don’t see having sex – most famously Johnny Kovacs in Pier Groups. Re-rewatching the film, I think I like it the way it is; the print is a bit dark, but that reflects what sexwarehouse cruising was like (I hear, ahem!); and he does seem to be showing off to someone, off camera. Sure, it’s us – but there, it’s one of those men. The film, dark and real, the top photo here – I appreciate seeing the scene more clearly, but it’s kinda overdone with the retouched lighting. Good to have both!
who you may remember from such films as:
Box Boy – (Nova Films) – not a great copy, but worth watching

i just love the french smoke
John, recently transferred to Mike Savage’s and Chuck Reddy’s unit finds himself the object of many pent-up frustrations of these two men. Chuck and Mike dominate John and start a wild and furious three-way that demolishes the bunk house and has these three devouring each other in every carnal position possible Some beautiful deep thrusting with torrid come scenes make this a sexual holocaust. This film will leave you devastated.
ummmmmmmmm – “sexual holocaust” ?????? oh. oh my.
nope! luckily, nothing in the film would make you think of… what the heck were the admen thinking?
New Recruit (1975) – or earlier? – Mike Savage, Chuck Reddy, and John
Director: Francis Ellie (1979? 1980? 1982?)
Starring: Jack Wrangler, Scorpio, Roy Garrett, Adam DeHaven, Chip Kingsley, Claude Caswell, Joe Ryder, Lou Ricky, Ray Poole
“there’s a plot! Jack Wrangler must track down a trick who mistakenly believes Jack gave him gonorrhea – only to wind up in the hands of “Nazi” Scorpio (thankfully, other than a swastika flag, there is nothing Nazi-ish going on, unless some spanking = Nazi); great disco soundtrack, like Dennis Parker’s New York By Night“
So that’s a quote from – me! But re-reading reviews (see below), I’m thinking, was there more to the “Nazi” than the flag and some spanking – certainly the flag prominently in the background is a huge turn-off, but looks like I may need to (find the time to) re-watch this film, since it’s been decades. Menawhile, enjoy the promo clip.
previously on BJland – another clip!
VintageGayVids review – has it for 1980
letterboxd review – has it for 1982 – Casey knows a lot more about the “Francis Ellie” films; so I’d go with 1982
GEVI – has it for 1980
