Review

The word "classic" is often tossed around when it comes to gay porn. But when it comes to these four Joe Gage films, the word "classic" seems almost too tame – "seminal" pops into mind. (Or should that be semenal?) Regardless of what word you want to slap on them, you’ll soon be slapping your piece silly after experiencing these must-own flicks. Director Joe Gage's four pre-condom masterpieces of "working men," and arguably the most influential works of gay male hardcore erotica of all time, in one outstanding collection. Offered here in a four-pack set, this is your chance to save a bundle.

Not only are these the best known and biggest sellers of the pre-condom-era, they're probably some of the best gay porns ever made, period. Made in the heyday of porn "exhibition" (theatres) each one of these was an enormous box office success and caused quite a sensation - a feeling that is certain to be re-created in your pants.

1976's Kansas City Trucking Co. is the first part, a film that even The Advocate still terms "one of the hottest gay porns ever made."

Think of 1977's El Paso Wrecking Corp. as the Empire Strikes Back of gay porn. The glory hole scene is a textbook classic example of deeply slobber-filled oral and facial cumshots galore.

1979's L.A. Tool & Die is definitely the Return of the Jedi of the genre. Just like George Lucas' overblown and triumphant conclusion to his beloved series, this one gives you more bang for your buck than you can possibly imagine. The sex itself is nearly titanic: everything from outdoor rapes and bathroom trickfests, to shower-stall slams and glory hole slurp sessions; it packs it in like nobody's business.

1980's Closed Set is one of the most copied gay porns ever. An essential classic (with the anonymous Gage Men) it truly set the standard for on-camera group fucks; most gay orgy-porn wouldn't exist without it, no question about it.

Pre-gym bunny and the "waxed 'n shaved" look, the men here are muscled hairy cumguns - duck if you don't wanna get hit in the eye, you know what I'm saying? Sure, there's footage missing from the original prints (the trilogy has passed through many distributor's hands over the years; this is the only remaining footage) and the copies are a little on the grainy side, but that's only because they were shot on glorious film, rather than the more limiting medium of video. So what??? Whether you're into condomless fucking, "normal looking" muscled mustachioed men with no hang-ups, open-mouth and facial cumshots, being a collection completist or just plain curious, you simply can't go wrong with these.

Essential and totally fuckin' rockin' good stuff, do yourself this favor - purchase this set immediately, don't shave for a few days, break out the tight Levi's, kick back, push "play" and prepare to whack away until you're totally chafed and exhausted.
