Dragon Art Theatre Week (September 8 – 14) Pssst. Hey…buddy… you wanna see some naked movies with your mom in em? This stuff here is premium split tail in action, my friend, straight from the vaults at Something Weird Video. It’s all the HARD X stuff on the SWV site that I could find on Letterboxd and let me tell you, when I say HARD X I mean it! These movies show it all baby, whatever sort of freaky shit you’re into, these movies have got it. Nipple clamps, ice cubes on the balls, lesbos, homos, cumshots, whips, leather, you name it! Plus we got air conditioning and the cleanest bathrooms on the deuce. Just step inside … and if you need some luudes or a lid talk to my man Shifty over at the popcorn counter. Tell him Klon sent you.

Carlos Tobalina was born in Peru, moved to Brazil and came to the U.S. in the 1950s. After selling cars, he started Tobalina Productions, Inc. in the 1970s and started making adult films, often using the name Troy Benny, which he showed at the theaters he owned with his wife Maria Pia Palfrader, like the Mayan Theater, the  X Theater on Hollywood Boulevard and the Star Theater. He battled obscenity laws and sadly killed himself in 1979 after finding out he had liver cancer. In his life, he made an early adult film, Infrasexum, as well as Marilyn and the Senator, Jungle Blue, Lady Dynamite and the non-sex film Flesh and Bullets which failed to get him into mainstream movies.

Dave (Blair Harris) and Fernando (Fernando Fortes, a crew member who was brought into the film as, well, he looked like a foreign exchange student) are roommates and even when Dave tries to help him with girls, he ends up hooking up with both of them. He buts Fernando a book, Sex Through Hypnotism, and learns how to use it to sleep with every woman who comes his way, starting with a neighbor before getting the pizza girl — an inverse of traditional adult! — and then an entire wedding party. But when his parents send his arranged wife from his home, will he stop sleeping with American women now that he has the power?

Fernando played the same role in I Am Always Ready and Champagne Orgy. You know, Dave has some advantages to his friend. He has a super patriotic shag van, good looks and doesn’t masturbate into Fanta cans. Oh yeah — he also asks for consent and doesn’t hypnotize a whole bunch of women and have a high speed series of lovemaking, which is edited a lot like A Clockwork Orange, ending with Fernando’s heart giving out from all the pickling the prime meridian.

Stay with this, because somehow, some way, it rips off the end of Carrie. Amazing.

Obviously, Coke didn’t pay for that product placement. And yes, that is a crew member just standing there in Dave and Fernando’s apartment.
