I recently had the chance to watch this movie and while listening to the commentary version (done in part by our own Devinn Lane), some questions came up. Hopefully they can all stay here and not be exported to another thread so I can keep track of them:

1. I've noticed that during commentaries there are certain names and products that the people doing the commentary are not allowed to say. Usually this has to do with brand names, which I understand. Same with names of places, such as Wal-Mart to use a specific example. But in this commentary they weren't allowed to mention branches of the military by name, they weren't allowed to mention Ft. Lauderdale by name and they weren't allowed to say Michael Jackson's name. Why are these things forbidden? Is there some sort of royalty involved? I can understand a royalty perhaps with MJ, but not with the other things.

2. This movie contains a 3-way with Renee Larue, Devinn Lane & Mickey G. where Mickey gets a strap-on up his ass, courtesy of Devinn. Devinn mentions that this was a big controversy. Why? I believe the same type of thing was done in "The Opening of Misty Beethoven". That was 25 years before this, so it's not like it's new. Why such a big deal?

3. Also involving the 3-way, Devinn mentioned that the last time this had happened in a hetero movie was with Tom Byron. But she didn't mention who else was involved or what the movie was. Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm sure Devinn can answer these questions much better than me, but I remember seeing a 1993 Vivid movie called Voices in My Bed, in which Ashlyn Gere pegged Tom Byron for the opening scene. Click on the link for astroknight's review.

Hi CMBurnham,

Thanks for bringing up this exceptional movie. I was Wicked's in-house publicist during the time "Bordello Blues" was released (I also came up with the title, as it was originally shot as "Mountjoy," a title no one seemed to like).

The controversy you mention was never a matter of morality but simply a matter of economics. Some channels of distribution in certain parts of the country were less than thrilled to carry product with such a scene, and I believe one magazine criticized the movie for containing it.

Other than that, I recall no particular controversy. Overall the movie did very well for Wicked critically and commercially, and I think it contains one of Devinn Lane's best early performances.

Thanks Daniel. Accurate on the "controversy" issue. I wonder if those same channels of distribution and magazine would be more than happy now that such scenes are considered the hot ticket today. Oh well, so I hit the mark only four years early. :0) I think this movie is part of the reason why Wicked wouldn't let me shoot a strap-on movie for them. I understand. It would be risky for them to release a movie that their customers may have issues with and not buy. I'm so happy that I get to shoot it for Shane's World/Club Fast Lane. Wonder if Mickey is up for a reunion? I wield a much bigger strap-on these days. :0)


xoxo
Devinn

I wonder how many people looked at the IAFD, saw that this film was the only film that didn't have "lez-only" next to Devinn's name(at the time), got all excited, rented the movie and got surprised. . . . . .

Jeanna Fine uses a strap-on on a guy in Velvet. I never thought it was that wierd for porn.
