DVD Review: “Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes 2”

Director Jim Powers narrates this collection of behind-the-scenes and cutting room floor footage with the gallows humor we have come to expect from JM Productions. People who think the porn industry is cynical and cruel will not be convinced otherwise by this movie, in which no one emerges looking glamorous. In fact, the only lesson to be learned from this movie is that things that might leave the rest of us feeling humiliated are answered with a universal "Whatever" by the performers and crew.

Review by: - Gram Ponante

First up is a scene from "The Violation of Marylin Star". Star, Powers tells us, fled to Canada when it was discovered she was involved in an insider trading deal. "She was a high class escort in the Northeast," Powers explains.

The advantages of the outtake format become apparent in the next scene, in which Powers, describing a shoot with Kiki D'aire, not only explains the process of "corking" (you'll have to watch it) but also, in counterpoint to his production manager, Johnny Thrust, details the departure from porn of Jason McCain.

"He tried to be a gay star but became a heroin addict instead," Thrust says. Brutal.

We witness D'aire's breakdown on set.

Thrust describes the next scene, a gokkun (swallow, as opposed to bukkake, which is a non-swallowing gang bang) as "the dregs of humanity coming out to squirt on girls". Powers says that he gets his male talent for large-scale bukkake and gokkun shoots from ads in the L.A. Weekly. (You can also participate by calling 818-709-4452.)

The value of this movie is the sheer amount of porn terminology and insider info, delivered in context by the cast and by Powers and Thrust in interstitial segments.

We are privy to not one but two hostage scenarios, a fight between two gokkun dudes, drunkenness, repressed memories, a "whoregasm" ("when a porn performer has an orgasm and cries because she is releasing all her guilt," Thrust explains), the difference in work ethic between porn performers and hookers, and Kami Andrews, who says, "God bless the makers of porn for putting food on my table."

We learn more about the porn world in this compelling collection of outtakes than we did in however many seasons there were/are of "Real Sex" and "Family Business" combined. And it's not pretty.
