Fade Out Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  9/23/2006

Although the pre-condom FADE OUT doesn’t have a sensational set piece like its companion film FADE IN that featured Jon King in a huge spider web, it’s still more than worthy of a transfer to DVD. Both were the work of Terry Le Grand and David Earl who produced some unique and wonderful films in the pre-condom era that were always delightfully imbued with humor and camp.

The star of FADE OUT is a cute young blond called Chris Allen. Little Chris was one of the first performers I ever saw who had a foreskin. (My best friend had one, but that’s another story.) Watching the film again after all these years I realize I still have a thing for Chris.

The film begins with Chris going to a fortuneteller played by Mark Edwards, a plump old queen who often appeared in these films. Out comes the Tarot cards and with each card we get a sex scene. Before each scene there’s a cloud of dry ice and we see a naked Chris walking into the cloud. (What an ass this kid had!) After this the scenes begin.

The first card is The Hermit. This leads to a solo jack off by David Ashfield. David was somewhere between cute and goofy. He often appeared with braces on his teeth that didn’t help matters (especially when he was sucking dick). But David was the most reliable stunt dick in the business. This kid stunted for nearly everyone—including Ryan Idol. Whenever a performer couldn’t get it up, all one had to do was contact David. David is in ultra cute mode here and it’s a good jack off concluding with him eating his own cum. Still, having David do a solo scene seems a waste of a dependable dick.

The next card is The Lovers and after our glimpse of naked Chris through the smoke we find Jon King and a sexy young buddy in bed with a rabbit. (I’m not making this up.) Jon was a cute twink with a hairy chest and a bushy mustache. His buddy was a slender raven-haired beauty. Cocks are sucked (there’s a lovely sixty-nine) and Jon gets his buddy’s dick where the sun don’t shine. This escalates into a vigorous pile-driving fuck. Even after Jon has cum, his buddy keeps bangin’ away. (The rabbit looks terrified.)

The Fool card presents us with a masked stud holding a large orange pompom. A plump guy in a wolf’s costume crawls up to him. (These guys are older than the other performers and are the least attractive.) The masked guy—now unmasked—removes the wolf’s costume from the other and goes down on him. Anal beads are inserted into the wolf’s ass and he’s fucked. Sucking the wolf’s cock after the fuck brings him off and the fool swallows the spending.

The Magician features Michael Christopher. Michael Christopher had a sort of scrunched face as though he’d been skateboarding on the highway and run smack into the back of a bus, but he had a body to die for. God, was he built! Michael was built like the proverbial brick shithouse and he had a dick to match. He removes his magician’s cape (his only garment) and offers the big dick to a lucky young mustachioed guy. After giving it a thorough sucking, the sucker takes the big thing up his ass. Afterward, Michael sucks him off. (Michael was nice that way.)

Like the Fool, the King of Wands (the next card to be revealed) is masked. A chained brown slave is licking his feet. With the mask removed we see it’s the same raven-haired beauty that fucked Jon King in the lovers' segment. Here he fucks the brown slave. (This guy is a wild fucker. He really throws it to his partners.)

We see Chris moving though the smoke or fog and suddenly we see him with a cock in his mouth. We don’t see to whom the cock belongs, but its owner is a slender hairy-chested guy. (He’s also one damned lucky son-of-a bitch!) A great close-up shows his cock sliding into Chris’ oh-so-fuckable bum. In and out it goes until Chris covers his belly with his own spending.
A jump cut show Chris leaning over the table and the fortuneteller administering a simulated fuck. (I know it’s simulated but if I had played the fortuneteller, I wouldn’t have been able to resist not giving Chris the real thing.)

Previews for FADE IN follow the film.

Not only do we get the film FADE OUT at a more than reasonable price, but HIS has packaged it with a bonus disc containing two compilations: GLORY HOLES # 9: LOCKER ROOM ORGY which features dozens of duos getting it on in locker rooms including a couple of bareback scenes (one with Ashfield fucking Chris Allen) and a remarkable deep-throating of a very long cock belonging to Cody James. And GLORY HOLES # 10: WIDE RECEIVERS has a number of hot bareback scenes and dildoing before the fucking, which will keep one entertained for hours and hours. So how can we pass this deal up?
