"Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage"

Gram Ponante — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:30:01 EDT

In a sort of "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" kind of way, watching this 80's-era new-to-DVD video of the delightful Christy Canyon makes me yearn for the days when she was in her porn heydey. Because she has Fleshbot Supreme Commandress written all over her.

Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage

Studio: Antigua
Director: Several
Cast: Christy Canyon, Crystal Heart, Sasha Strange, Mandy Wine, Chantel, Tom Byron, Randy West, Joey Silvera, Ron Jeremy

Review by: Gram Ponante

Watching this series of 16 never-before-digitized scenes featuring Christy Canyon, it is easy to think of her existing only in the past. The cheesy 80's porno music, the hazy video, the pubes. But Canyon is just 43 today, the same age or younger than several newly-minted milves or porn performers on comeback tours. Still, these scenes from the late 80's and early 90's are time capsules, and we think: They don't make 'em like Christy Canyon anymore.

One word that describes Canyon throughout this hastily-edited movie is ripe. Curvy and ready to go, Canyon teams up with Tom Byron, Joey Silvera, a transition-period Ron Jeremy when he was halfway between his 70's debut physique and the VH-1 staple he has become, ala Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris," and a sweaty Randy West who has a strenuous romp with Canyon that makes the viewer happy for both of them.

Canyon bounces between a fresh and healthy eagerness and a signature 80's coke-fueled edge in these scenes, but you never have the feeling she's gone or about to go over the edge (now a popular host on Playboy Radio and an author of the first of two volumes of autobiography, Canyon has kicked the skinny powder).

The movies from which these scenes were taken are not named, nor are Canyon's costars, but each interlude is worthwhile, and viewers are treated to Porn Valley vistas as they looked two decades ago (in one scene, Canyon thumbs a ride from a motorcyclist. "Take me to the nearesst big city!" she says, but he balks. Had the camera but panned slightly to the left, we would have seen that we were already in Los Angeles and the biker wouldn't have to drive too far for his imminent seatback blowjob).

"Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage" has a ragtag feel about it, and maybe the scavenged movies were not deemed good enough to transfer to DVD when the technology became available, but each scene clearly shows why Canyon is a beloved star in the porn firmament, and is a great jumpoff point for further Canyon scholarship.

Flesh Flicks: Christy Canyon Leading The Blind

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:40:03 EST

Do you think it's really true that when one of the five senses is lost, the others become more heightened in order to compensate for it? Because one of the five senses is touch and it never really occurred to us before that losing your eyesight, while awful, just might result in some blowjobs that felt pretty fucking amazing. Of course, the downside is that you would never get to gaze at Christy Canyon's world-famous rack and that's a fate we wouldn't wish on our own worst enemy.

Ten Great Moments In Porn Comedy

Fleshbot — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 11:16:44 EDT

Think that there's no such thing as real porn on YouTube anymore? Well, uh ... there really isn't, but these ten clips from classic porn flicks and other pornstar sightings in mainstream media should at least keep you amused enough to forget about the good old days when YouTube was something you could actually jerk off to instead of just laugh at. And you really haven't lived until you've seen Christy Canyon looking like she's about to throw up after a jog in the park or a pre-plastic surgery Jenna Jameson demonstrate a handy household cleaning tip using a baking soda solution and a silver candlestick. After all, there are plenty of other places you can go to watch pornstars do other stuff.

Video Playpen: Classic Pornstar Tribute

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 17 May 2007 16:27:44 EDT

Like we said earlier this week, old pornstars never die ... they just have videos of their performances floating around on the interweb forever. Stag films and and back issues of titty magazines may not be passed down through the generations by kindly older brothers any more, but it's still nice to know that we no longer need to scavenge some old man's yard sale to witness the meeting of powerhouses Ginger Lynn and John Holmes, or thrill to the dramatic (and well acted!) tale of Honey Wilder's nephew's journey into manhood, or marvel at the incredible politeness of a young Ron Jeremy. Take a trip with us as we sample the golden age of porn from the '70 and '80s ... okay, maybe some '90s sneaks in there too. Only one thing is for sure—they don't make 'em like they used to.
