How to order

In the late '80s and early '90s, the 32 gay adult features Steven Scarborough directed for Falcon Studios-- including Wild Country, Perfect Summer, Manrammer, and the Abduction series-- helped the San Francisco-based company garner prestige. In 1993, Scarborough left Falcon to found Hot House Entertainment. Now, although Hot House remains his home company, he's back.

His return suggests an effort by Falcon's present regime to fill the void left by Chi Chi LaRue, whose contractual commitments to the studio ended recently with Heaven to Hell. Scarborough's Bootstrap resembles LaRue's leather-denim sex-club free-for-alls, only with less foreplay and more he-man posturing. Its five scenes include a foursome, three threesomes, and a heavyweight pairing of Arpad Miklos with Joe Sport.

I> Bootstrap doesn't quite earn its length, but it's slickly assembled, expertly shot, and spiked with red-hot vignettes. Bottoms fare well here. Handsome, clean-cut Troy Moore gives the opening four-way its center, serving Alex LeMonde, Fernando Montana, and phallic wunderkind Brad Patton. In the final segment, goat-boy Dean Monroe appears with a butt-plug filling his commodious ass; it's removed to make way for a simultaneous insertion of cocks belonging to Gus Mattox and Shane Rollins.
