This week we pulled up another of the classics, this one from almost 40 years ago, 1985. They were much younger then, but they sure could pack a punch be it comedy or drama. This was a fun film, an award winner and some incredible scenes throughout along with some great stars of the past, including a very, very young Tom Byron. Here is our original review from back in the mid 90’s a few years after the birth of NightMoves Magazine. Enjoy.
Stiff Competition – Caballero Films – Director Paul Vateli – Cast – Jenna Carrera, Cyndee Summers, Patti Wright, Bridgette Monet, Susan Hart, John Leslie, Ron Jeremy, Kevin James, Herschel Savage, others.
This was a film that had everything. Crisp writing, good humor, some dramatic moments and excellent mainstream styled acting by much of the cast. It also had great settings, production values along with a good story line and of course some very steamy sex scenes.
The story is about what takes place in a boxing ring, but these are not about boxing matches. It all revolves around a grand prize of $50,000 for the great “Suck Off Super Bowl Championship” competition. Yep, a blow job competition! The film opens when a tuxedoed sugar daddy brings his sexy date Tammy (Jenna Carrera) to an underground club where there is a cock sucking contest taking place. Bets are placed and the contest begins as The Mouth (Susan Hart) starts working on her male contestant but her manager (Kevin James) gets her angry, She stops sucking the guy, quits and runs out of the building. Now the crowd is very upset wanting their money back. But Tammy decides to jump in and take over and continue the suck off with the guy. Of course she gets him off in less than the allotted time and Kevin finds a new “star” for the upcoming championship.
In the meantime Mouth calls her friend Cynthia Silkthroat (Cyndee Summer), last year’s champ about this new girl. Cynthia decides to come out of retirement, get in shape and enter the championships and defend her title. Her manager/boyfriend Jake the Snake (John Leslie) gets her in a training mode. The girl Cynthia defeated, Linda Lonestar (Brigette Monet), is also returning. Tammy is given the name of Tammy the Tongue. She works out, goes to a swinger’s club and meets up with Patty Cakes (Patti Wright) another entry in the championships. There is a lot of under the table dealings that take place as the promoter Don Head (Ron Jeremy) is bribed and coerced into throwing the championships, but he won’t go for it. There is a lot that goes on throughout with some good dramatic moments and some very funny ones as well.
When it comes time for the championship rounds to begin, it takes place in a real dingy arena. The ring is complete with handlers, seconds and a big cheering crowd. It is even watched at the bars on cable TV. There is a hilarious scene where an older family at home is watching on TV. Promoter Head introduces the combatants in this suck off championship and then the games begin! Doing the play by play at ringside is an uncredited Paul Thomas and his Howard Cosell like commentary is funny stuff. As for the male cocks the girls have to work on, you’ll recognize a couple of the guys in their very early days, particularly Tom Byron who looks like he’s about 14 and Peter North whose bombastic pop shots were legend even in the beginning. So now the championships begin, the crowd is cheering and hollering and the girls are doing their best to advance to the championship round and win the 50 grand. There is one funny scene here when Linda’s manager (Dave Cannon) is frustrated that she can’t get the guy off that he jumps in, shoves the guy away and takes his place. Of course when all is said and done, the new girl Tammy the Tongue comes out as the winner and champion much to the dismay of the former champ.
As for the sex in the film, of course it centers around a lot of fantastic oral performances, but there is a lot more. There is a cute girl/girl scene and a couple of anal sex scenes that pack some good punch. But if you are a fan of oral sex (who isn’t?) you’ll love this one. The production, settings, writing, story line and superb acting pull this film together in a nice entertaining package. Another fun part of this film is seeing a younger, slimmer, in shape Ron Jeremy and his huge member getting worked on. You also get to see in uncredited roles, new young future stars like Byron, North, Thomas and Kristara Barrington. If you can find this film which is available in DVD please do. “Stiff Competition” is another of those very well made films from the 1980’s that flies under the radar but deserves its place as a golden oldie classic of porn.
