Following April’s announcement that Studio 2000 is out of business, followed by the subsequent purchase of their film catalog by AEBN/Raging Stallion/Falcon, we thought it would be fun to trace back over some of our favorite movies by the legendary gay porn studio.
Sitting down to write this I rediscovered a treasure trove from a studio which for years smoothly operated as the perfect marriage between gay porn and successful entrepreneurial business. Started in 1992 by John Travis and Scott Masters, Studio 2000 pioneered the concept of exclusive models, developing the instantly recognizable West Coast look onto movies that carried top notch production values and memorable storylines. Perhaps you will recognize some of them:

Studio 2000′s first release, Take Down, was a modest wrestling movie designed around the rugged blond Adam Hart. It was not long before the studio was soon firing on all cylinders. For example:
- Forced Entry 1995
There may have been bigger porn stars than Kevin Dean, but just not in the pants. This prison film became so big, it even makes a cameo in John Waters’ Cecil B. Demented.
- Grease Guns 2 1997
The Grease Guns movies were one of the first to delve into the car mechanics theme, and they are still arguably the best. We liked Grease Guns 2 better because of the sexy Jeff White, as well as butch bottom Kurt Stefano.
- Cadet 1998
Ethan Marc gets drummed out of the military in this military academy film highlighted by the dynamite pummeling of powerbottom John Ross by Chris Steele.
- Czech Point 1999
If there’s a Top 10 list of best gay porn movies ever, Czech Point should be on it. This is because of its use of the sensational Czech model Pavel Novotny. (Find him later in the studio’s vampire flick Prague Rising) Soldiers fucking on film have never been captured in a hotter light.
- Dream Team 1999
This inspired work from Jerry Douglas will have leave every viewer wondering "Wow, they sure don’t make movies like that anymore."
- Cruising It 2003
Newly signed porn stars Ryan Alexander and Trevor Knight take a sexy trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. This cute video also features newly minted porn star Brent Everett.
- Deep Plunge 2003
Doug Jeffries filmed a handful of Latino-heavy videos for Studio 2000, and every one is worth seeing. This hot selection features blond adonis Matt van Dorn getting ravished at the Casa de Hombres by Tico Martin and Rafael Carreras. Woof!
- Gored 2003
Rafael Alencar and Rafael Carreras star in this superb story about a gay matador.
Most of these movies (surely soon all) are playing now on NakedSword.

Rafael Carreras, the alluring Latino porn star has re-embraced porn by coming out of retirement to appear in the smoking hot Spanish Seductions from Lucas Entertainment. Filmed in the beautiful Barcelona, Spain, Carreras begins the film with an inspired bolero between him and voluptuous Israeli Jonathan Agassi, who Lucas featured in last year’s beautiful Inside Israel.
Carreras showers the screen with Spanish ardor. Many fans will recall Carreras when he was originally an exclusive model for Studio 2000, appearing in several great films such as Gored, and the aptly named Deep Plunge. (Yes, Carreras is a total top with a long banderilla of a cock.)

In 1999, famed adult movie pioneer John Travis visited Budapest, Hungary to produce several great movies for his Studio 2000 enterprise. Like most of Travis’ movies, his eye for masculine, sexy guys having gay sex is perfect. Two of these movies, Sextrap and Payload (Watch VOD), were just fantastic from beginning to end, in large part to the spectacular bottom Josef Sladek.
After starring in Payload, Travis cast subsequently in a scene in Sextrap, a film about the film’s star Daniel Koukal having his automobile unexpectedly break down, and he ends up at a nice garage peopled by horny tools. Sladek is a great guy to watch get fucked, as seen below.
Also, thrifty fans can usually purchase both of these DVDs now for a song off the Studio 2000 website.

Studio 2000 has recently placed a whole clutch of its earlier International dvd’s on sale, so we thought it would be a good time to look back at a few of them. Sextrap was actually one of the very first reviews we ever posted to FriskyFans. (Which is obvious by the writing) The 1999 film, directed by John Travis on location was one of the first films out of the Czech Republic beyond Bel Ami, and all you could do was sit back and ask “Where do they find these guys?”
The movie tells the story of a sweet looking brunet named Daniel Koukal, whose classic car breaks down on the road. He ends up at a garage where there’s lots of greasy, sweaty sex both in and out of the vehicles. Sextrap also featured Josef Sladek, a real knock-out who just appeared in a handful of films. The versatile Sladek has an ass as fine as Dano Sulik’s. Although Sladek’s assets are captured better in the movie Payload, also on special at the Studio 2000 website.
Fans can watch these movies now on the Studio 2000 website pay per view – it costs a mere ten clams. They also are offering a selection of great dvd’s for as low as $19.95 each, IF you purchase them in quantity. Details on their website.
