When John Holmes died of AIDS on March 13, 1988 there were a lot of us teenage kids who refused to believe that he ever made gay films (or had gay tendencies.) It was akin to saying John Wayne was a sissy. He may have really been closer to 10" than 131/2" but there was no denying he performed with hundreds if not thousands of porn actresses in his career. Thomas' Boogie Nights gave a highly romanticized version of the early life of John Holmes, but I have yet to really see an accurate documentary on him.
For one reason, like his penile measurement, much was publicity created illusion to further his porn legend, as well as further the budding porno industry in the San Fernando Valley. Screw's Al Goldstein himself said that 20% of John Holmes' 12.58" measurement was for publicity. Producer Bob Chin who (I believe) made Holmes' Johnny Wadd character wasn't above exaggerating the number of climaxes John could perform in one take. The porn industry of the 1970's needed John Holmes. A quote from an AVN source: "He put porn on the map. The explosion in mainstream popularity was thanks largely to one John Curtiss Holmes."
Many porn actors would be satified with that. But then why all the additional extraneous baloney about being a UCLA grad, or hiding his difficult early childhood in Ohio? America loves Horatio Alger stories, even if success is earned by ones penis. Perhaps it has to do with the fact, if reports are true, that Holmes' intellect did not match his penis size. He was, by all accounts, a gullible fellow not particulary astute with money or contracts, and taken to snorting most of his earnings up his nose in latter years. Those money woes were what led to his involvement in the Eddie Nash/ Laural Canyon murders and his bout in prision.
In the end, what I oddly remember most after his death was a short pseudo-documentary compilation of Johnny Wadd films with Holmes' screwing a dozen unattractive "monster muffed" actresses from the seventies. A guy from the Golden Throat Broadcaster School supplied the voice-over. "But whatever role he assumed, he was always on the side of law and 'gewd.'" Not a bad way to be remembered.

Those were all stand-ins dammit. STAND-INS!!! *LOL*

("Boogie Nights" is rated at 95%.)

Be aware that there are both R-rated and unrated versions of the DVD - obviously, the latter contains the real substance!!
There's a two-and-a-half-minute long promo/trailer available as a .wmv file at: http://www.redluci.com/images/trailer.wmv | | |

There's a two-and-a-half-minute long promo/trailer available as a .wmv file at: http://www.redluci.com/images/trailer.wmv | Thank you alex8! I will obtain that film. As a guy who grew up in Southern California and who has always been somewhat fascinated with the porn industry, the life and times of John C. Holmes are irretrievably intertwined with the San Fernando Valley based adult film business. Looking at that trailer I couldn't help but smile at the 60 minutes-like format with Charlie Sheen's ex-girlfriend Ginger Lynn Allan looking like she just took a shopping trip to Nordstrom's and Bill Margold, and old performer who has shifted his role to "adult archivest and historian" in his chubby, Hawaiian shirt wearing middle age.
I feel guilty that you, a German, were able to find out this information more easily than I. On the other hand, Europeans are so much less Puritanical about porn, nudity and sexual morality. On my last trip through (FRA) Frankfurt I went over to the porn shop located right in the terminal. And almost bought some, but ended up going on LH450 without a purchase. Try to imagine a porno shop at LAX or ORD!!!

I had the same kind of late teen experience at txquis, and John Holmes made a considerable impression on me at that time too...I'd never seen a cock that massive, it seemed unbelievable huge.
When I look at pics of him now I'm struck at how 'ordinary' his cock looks compared with my early memories of him, sure it's big, but compared to more recent porn guys like Mandingo I think JH now looks pretty mundane.
cheers

Have always liked watching a horse-hung guy enjoy his cock...it's corny, but there's a lot of cock.
Not unlike Rocco Siffredi, where you can see all of the studs huge hard cock in action, heavy erect when he walks around.....!!!
