How to order

"Some wacko calling himself Dirty Harry" is videotaping the sexual escapades of closeted, rich, politically prominent gay men for purposes of blackmail. Gumshoe Thomas Lloyd is hired to track down the culprit. This porno crime spoof isn't a sendup of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry films (which cry out for homoerotic parody). It's more of a sophomoric riff on film noir, and it's seldom as funny as it means to be. But its four sex scenes are probably as hot as director Mike Donner intended, or as most viewers could wish.

Many of the models are endowed with body hair, and facial hair abounds. Prime suspect Austin Masters, a bearded top in drop-dead leather, has hot fun with what threatens to be the title role. As the private investigator's ditsy assistant, newcomer Zach Warner, who seems to be part Hobbit, shows a bit of acting talent and more than a bit of sexual skill.

But the best reason to see Dirty Hairy is to catch Thomas Lloyd in another leading role. His jokey character, Dick, isn't as much fun as his charismatic cat burglar in Wash West's Animus, the video that made him an instant porn star, but his contrasting sex scenes with Masters and Warner both sizzle. When Lloyd and Warner break into blissful grins as they fuck, the spontaneity suggests they're not acting.
