yet doesn't seem to realise that he's up there with the best of the exploitation kings. Ron Jeremy also puts in his two cents, and seems like one of the few intelligent, level headed industry types. We also meet a number of the girls. Some are dimwitted, doe eyed starlets who've just got their break. Others are washed up, spat out veterans with hundreds of movies under their garter belt.
And then there's Max (pictured). Max Steiner (better known as Max Hardcore) has to be seen to be believed. If this guy didn't have the opportunity to fulfill all of his depraved fantasies onscreen, he'd have probably turned out to be one of the worst serial killers the United States has ever seen. We hear other directors badmouthing Max like there's no tomorrow. You could be forgiven for thinking that Seymore Butts is a religious zealot, rather than an equally guilty porn entreprenuer.
The final section of the film is the horror A.I.D.S part. This surprised me, since I assumed that porn stars of the nineties were safe due to frequent testing. Apparently though, the tests are as reliable as a two dollar watch.
John Stagliano and Brooke Ashley recall when they first found out they were H.I.V positive. The Other Hollywood is an entertaining eye opener for the porn addict, casual pervert, or even the prudes out there. You'll be in stitches over some of the inane comments, and especially at the politically incorrect musings of Max Steiner. |
