How to order

Men in Blue, Gino Colbert's reportedly final collaboration with retiring over-the-top British porn star Blue Blake, will enthrall some and annoy others. In an edgy, dangerous performance anchored in his own script, Blake plays a berserk rogue member of the LAPD. It's as if the character Harvey Keitel portrayed in Bad Lieutenant has reemerged as a demented closet case from Bethnal Green.

In the first of seven sex scenes, booze-crazed Officer Blake harasses two men (Paul Morgan and director Gino Colbert) in a parked car. "Are you two fuckin' homos?" he snarls. Gun drawn, he orders Colbert to blow Morgan and Morgan to come in Colbert's mouth. Morgan obliges by ejaculating onto Colbert's tongue. (This scene, Colbert's reply to proponents of safer sex who took him to task for allowing one model to come in another's mouth in a previous video, is meant to show that Colbert wouldn't ask a performer to do anything he wouldn't do himself.)

Blake's scenario weaves in and out of investigator Ron Jeremy's grilling of Officer Blake, whose responses cue flashbacks revealing his lies. Blake denies responsibility for the suicide of his partner (Brent Cross), but we see that Cross killed himself after Blake had drugged his coffee and raped him. Blake claims he was "forcibly sodomized" and doped up by four Latinos he massacred in a crack den, when in fact he consensually orgied with them, then used bullets to secure their silence.

Some of the sex is outrageous and rough; some is surprisingly bland. When Blake is exposed, so to speak, at the hands of poker-faced automaton Cutter West, the scene falls flat, and its outcome is upstaged by a heterosexual quickie in which policewoman Sharon Kane licks semen off the tip of Ron Jeremy's cock after he comes.

What, you may wonder, is Colbert really trying to accomplish through this emphasis on going all the way with unprotected oral sex? While the practice carries far less risk than condom-free anal intercourse, documented instances of oral HIV transmission do exist. The way you react to this material depends on whether you lean toward forced and rigorous standards of safety, or toward freedom, personal autonomy, and the right to take chances.
