Temperatures Rising (1986) Online

This flick was sold as an American sleaze flick. There wasn't much information to find on the sleeve and the pictures used for the VHS release even hadn't anything to do with this flick. Watching it I didn't came across any sleaze, it was just a pure porn flick. Funny, because I knew a few things about 42nd street and the golden age of porn. Around the late sixties porn became the next big thing and in the seventies we had the golden age of the genre. There was a boom of grindhouses showing porn and 42nd street became the place to be to see a lot of porn flicks. But back then those flicks actually got a good story and even got acting in it. There was also a script and a few flicks became ground breaking because they added horror towards the story. They were called 'roughies'. But once people could buy their own VHS device the golden age was over. The industry declined in the eighties and when VHS retailers were selling porn, the acting was over, it became a pure business, no story just pure porn. Slowly normal bodies were replaced by blown up tits and perfect bodies. But it became all fake. Porn was money. Temperatures Rising was made just when the golden age was over and it is indeed a perfect example why it became all boring to watch. The story is really very simple. When one jogger falls his friends are going to a house to get some help. The door opens and in the house are a few nurses who invite them to come in and help the three men. We are now 5 minutes into the movie and from that point it is all f*cking and s*cking until the end credits. The acting is below zero and even the sex isn't erotic at all to watch. They even used a lot of the same shots and cumshots were shown in slo-mo. There are also a few effects done with the visuals but it had an Commodore C64 feeling. Looks like it was filmed in 1 day and edited in 1 day. Easy money. But what I didn't knew was that I had a copy on VHS that was considered a classic. The reason became clearly, one of the actresses in it was Bunny Blue. Bunny was discovered by William Margold and entered the business aged 19. She started as of the women employed to stimulate the male actors before filming. But soon she was working against Traci Lords and Christy Canyon. Due her teenage look she was casted until her late twenties as a naïve cheerleader, student or schoolgirl. But she had one problem, she had trouble learning her lines. But she moved further to Unthinkable, an incest-themed porn flick with Scott Irish. As a bleached blond, petite and underage looking chick she was casted in one of the first bisexual flicks from Catalina Videos. By doing so it was also a time of AIDS rising and she had difficulty finding work in straight flicks. After more then 150 porns she quit in 1989. But she came back in 1992 with a breast enlargement and her hair back to her normal auburn. The business was more kinky then ever and she did a lot of an*l sex flicks, which she declined in her blond period. She just couldn't take the rough sex anymore and went back to her roots as a fluffer. Fame became on her site when she was inducted into the AVN Hall Of Fame in 1997. She was the biggest name in temperatures Rising and do had a big following, that's why this is collectable. Even as it is pure porn without a story to tell. Maybe she was also one of the last big names in the genre.
