I have a curious question that's been bugging me for quite some time now. Can anyone explain what exactly are the differences between a feature film and a gonzo film? Also, what's a raincoat movie?

feature films got a script. the sex scenes are framed by a story.

gonzo, it's just sex scene after sex scene, no messing around with a plot or anything.

raincoater movie refers to back in the day, before video, when the only place to see porn was in theaters. guys would come in wearing raincoats so they could jerk it without nobody seeing.

now, the term just generally refers to porno of particularly nasty nature. the harder it is, the higher the raincoat factor.

Also...in gonzo, there is a high emphasis placed on the camera in each scene...Not so much in features.

Actually a gonzo movie is usually a movie that is done more on the quick, and for very little money. These are usually the movies that girls do when they are just starting out in the business, but you also see girls doing them later on in their career. This is also usually manned by a one or two man crew, with one of the crew members doing the fucking as well as the filming.

There is also an all sex movie which is studio filmed stuff with more well known porn stars, or at least, somewhat established talent. These are also pretty closely related to vignette movies, such as New Wave Hookers 4 or Last Whore House on the Left.

From The Adult DVD Talk Porn Dicktionary
Courtesy of Dumblonde

Gonzo: founder of gonzo is John "Buttman" Stagliano. His wife Tricia Devereaux was kind enough to give us THE definition:
"Gonzo can take on several different forms. It can vary from the cameraman (in adult, very often the director) interviewing the actors, or participating in the scene with dialogue and/or sex. It can also mean that the actors are simply acknowledging the fact that there is a camera shooting what they are doing. So, although in adult gonzo, the cameraman is usually somehow visible or audible, simply the actors playing to the camera constitutes a gonzo scene."

I keep hearing that Stagliano is the founder of Gonzo, but I'm pretty sure this is not true. I heard on a tv show on Bravo about porn that some guy in New York started it. And I don't think it was john. Just wonder if anyone else heard this.

You're referring to the once-infamous but now largely forgotten "Ugly George," who would traipse around Manhattan with a huge, old-fashioned camera on his shoulder. He had a public access cable show called something like "Moments of truth & beauty with Ugly George" (maybe somebody wants to go look up the exact title). It indeed was a, ur, seminal point in the gestation of "reality porn," but he never got it together to actually put out movies.
