Recently Diville wrote an excellent review of VISTA VALLEY P.T.A., a classic which I also enjoyed, as discussed in an Empire Review .
Along with this video, can anyone name other titles where another movie, or book, or TV show, or whatever was faithfully adapted or parodied in a porn film?
I can think of CLOCKWORK ORGY as another example. Paul Thomas' BONNIE AND CLYDE wasn't a bad "remake." The mediocre VISIONS OF X was a half-hearted attempt at satirizing THE SIXTH SENSE, but the less said of it, the better...
But for some reason, I can't think of too many others. Can anyone name some titles which obviously are slipping my mind?
Here you have some mainstream-based porn movies from Private (all available in DVD): - Tower 1,2,3 (based on Sliver) - Sex Therapy 1,2 (based on Color Of Night) - Indiana Mack 1 & 2 (based on Indiana Jones saga) - Indecency 1 & 2 (based on Indecent Proposal) - Operation Sex Siege (based on Under Siege)
I will check if there is something more on the Private side...
Off the top of my head, how about The Show series (aka Sex Show , The Asian Show ) that parodies "The Tonight Show," or Double Feature / The Bride of Double Feature as general parodies of 50's horror films?
I have heard of the title Women in Black but have never heard anything good or bad about it.
Avoid "Wet Dreams on Elm Street" at all cost though (only on VHS). I got it cause of the cover and reading the back of the box. It had no ties to "Nightmare on Elm Street" at all. The only thing that was a spoof was the front of the box.
The XXX-Trek series is a really funny parody of Star Trek (don't know if it's on dvd though). They actually parody real episodes of the original series. I think the company is K-Beech.
'Eruption' with John Holmes is a remarkably faithful remake of the 1944 film noir classic 'Double Indemnity.'
'Flesh Gordon,' though technically a softcore film, has some hardcore action that can be seen in the background in the throne room. It is a hilarious, sexual parody of the Flash Gordon serials, loaded with gratuitous nudity and with characters such as Emperor Wang & Professor Jerkoff.
Those two are available on DVD. Another is 'Texas Dildo Massacre' with Ron Jeremy and Candy Apples, but I'm not sure about its availability. It's a pretty good parody of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Worth checking out even if oyu can only find it on VHS.
Well, how about "The Opening of Misty Beethoven," for starters -- it's George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" (or "My Fair Lady"), with the skill being sex, not speech and poise. Later was an actual musical porno called "My Bare Lady," I think. Another of Henry Paris' films, "Naked Came the Stranger" was closer to a real filming than a parody of the then-daring novel of the same name (hope this one makes it to DVD soon!). Another real oldie was "Chorus Call," a takeoff (literally) on "A Chorus Line." One more, by Jerry Fairbanks (I think), which we'll never see again because Traci Lords featured prominently, was "Kinky Business," which also starred Ginger Lynn -- it was a remake of "Risky Business." Also, a very good oldie which was a "take" on "The Picture of Dorian Gray," was "Take Off." Give me some more time -- I'll come up with some more!
Here are a few more porn versions of mainstream movies and TV shows: "1-800-TIME," starring Heather Lere, was a sex version of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure." "1001 Erotic Nights" (Parts 1 & 2), from Essex, was based on "1001 Arabian Nights." "Autobiography of a Flea," an early Mitchell Brothers feature, was a hardcore version of the classic erotic novel of the same name. John Leslie's "The Catwoman" was loosely based on Paul Schrader's "Cat People," itself a newer version of the 1940s "Curse of the Cat People." "Edward Penishands" from 1991 was an obvious take on "Edward Scissorhands." "Fleshdance," from the early '80s, borrowed a little bit more than the title of "Flashdance." Svetlana's "Miami Spice 1 & 2" borrowed liberally from TV's "Miami Vice." Anthony Spinelli's classic "Sex World" is a porn version of "WestWorld." In the mid-80s, Scotty Fox made "Sheets of San Francisco," about two cops who worked the "Streets of San Francisco." Bruce Seven made "Snatched to the Future" in 1991, which borrowed liberally from "Back to the Future."
Here's a list of titles that showed up on RAME earlier this month, in response to a similar request:

Hey, everyone (especially Greybeard)! Thanks for the suggestions! The titles will come in handy, and have helped me cut down on hours upon hours of "research."
And to Tina: The Star Trek parodies were surprisingly damn funny, especially Randy Spears' imitation of Captain Kirk...I had forgotten all about them.
FWIW, that last long list of titles (my last post in this thread) is _not_ my own work, and I want to make sure that credit for it goes to the right people! It came, I believe, from part of RAME's FAQ or something like that -- I just lifted the post from RAME and dropped it here. That's why I was careful to leave in the complete header and footers. "Phone the Kids, Wake the Neighbors" <DaveBrett@msn.com> is the one to thank for it!
