RSSBoy, it took a strong effort to ask that question with a straight face.
Nevertheless, has anyone else noticed that in 2008 three of the major gay adult movie studios all released hunky swimmer poolside themed movies? We’re awash in them! The 2008 movies are Trunks 5 from Hot House Entertainment, Slide from Jet Set and Splish Splash from Buckshot Productions.
Not only that, but all three movies cast a common model: David Dakota, a steely Ken Doll type of guy. Furthermore, Dakota, is pictured on the boxcover of two out of the three:Hot House’s Trunks 5 and Jet Set’s Slide.
People have often criticized European film producers for flooding the market with carbon copy movies starring the same batch of models. Is this a trend with the California studios? Or maybe this trend was fueled by Michael Phelps-mania after the Beijing Olympics. (Nah!)
Actually the more likely reason is because Hot House’s Trunks film franchise has been so financially successful that other studios seek to hop on the bandwagon. Of the three, Trunks 5 is the weakest, simply because the movie really just rehashed everything we’ve seen before in the previous four movies, all far better.
Slide was pretty good, buffeted by some snappy cross-scene editing. However thanks to the gorgeous and very enthusiastic cast, the award for the best of the three goes to Buckshot’s Splish Splash.

One wonders if anyone in the industry even knows what is going on at a next door studio. Or perhaps, maybe we all, as consumers, just cannot get enough of hunks in trunks.
