Alabama Takedown

By: buddhawannabe

"Alabama Takedown" came out in 2005, right in the middle of Joe Gage's "classic" period, marked by his three masterpieces: "Men's Room: Bakersfield Station" (2004); "100 in Tucson" (2005); "Arcade on Route 9" (2006). These three films were general explorations of the "Joe Gage world" where daily life involved ordinary-looking working men (who turned out to have hot bodies and big dicks) jacking off together, giving each other blow jobs, and occasionally taking it up the butt. Other films from that period were 'theme' videos, such as the 'beach movies' ("Deep Water Beach Patrol" and "Lifeguard!" both 2006). "Alabama" is another 'theme' movie, the theme here in question being wrestling, though there's actual wrestling only in the first, third and last of the five scenes, so it's not really a 'wrestling movie.' The first scene is a nice twosome between Ken Mack and Damon Demarco, the second another nice twosome between Owen Hawk and Joey Milano. These scenes are well-performed, well-filmed and well-edited, by guys with personality and with 'knockout' bodies (no, wait, that's boxing), but are not particularly characteristic of Gage (except that, in the second, the men are drinking Joe Gage's trademark--but fictitious--"Gulf Port Lager"). In the third scene, soon-to-be-married Luke Montana catches a couple of his students, Colby Keller (still in his 'cute kid' phase) and Zack Evans, fooling around in his office. Montana talks them into wrestling in front of him, then they accidentally knock off his desk a Gulf Port Lager carton which happens to contain a few cock pumps, and one thing leads to another. For me, this is the hottest scene in the movie: Gage really works the 'intergenerational' aspect (which he's so good at doing) and the scene is beautifully paced to lead to a completely satisfying conclusion, with everyone getting some and being gotten. In the next scene, Spencer Quest and Cliff Rhodes play brothers who are running a wrestling contest (and it's kind of cute that they actually look enough alike to be brothers). Blu Kennedy, early in his career, walks in as a prospective competitor, Quest and Rhodes require him to submit to a physical exam, etc. etc. This is one of the scenes where you may think Gage's slow and careful building of tension is skip-worthy, especially since there's no fucking (saved for the finale). Then we move back to the wrestling ring, where first one pair, and then two pairs of men, wrestle in, and then out of, their suits. Blu Kennedy wanders in and (in the Director's Cut) fantasizes a couple of water-sports scenes (with some of the men non-starters); then the whole thing basically turns into a naked orgy, featuring Jay Armstrong of the smooth, pale, extremely beautiful body and the frustratingly short career (three years, give or take a comeback). Gage is (sometimes) so good at directing an extended orgy--see "Back to Barstow," (2006) as well as the other above-mentioned films--that this one falls short by comparison, but it's still got some great sex. Not in my top 10 of Gage films, but definitely worth checking out for the 'intergenerational' aspect and for a chance to look at a lot of great-looking guys having hot sex.

This movie takes me back. I was young and in love with my step father he let me suck his dick while my mother was at work. I loved the taste of it after he had been cutting the grass sliding his foreskin back and cleaning his cock with my mouth. Don't be alarmed i was 22 when this was going on. Since then my mother has married a real str8 man. But my ex step father still get together every now and then while his current wife is not at home. very hot movie, love it get it rent it.
