Review of The Pawnbroker

The Pawnbroker (1990 Video)
Dumb loop carrier
1 July 2022
Disrespecting the mainstream classic: Rod Steiger as "The Pawnbroker", here we have Ron Jeremy's unimaginative vignette porn "The Pawnbroker", a fantasy about Randy West's rock band going to a pawnbroker who operates a sci-fi fantasy machine upstairs that records erotic fantasies from young folks for old coots to watch. Sort of a reflexive description of the porn industry.

So we get five stag movies, all pointless and familiar. Even the "twists" are dumb. Randy starts off imagining himself as a cattle drive foreman in the Wild, Wild West who has a threesome with a couple of gals, who service him passively -beginning by washing him down. "Only a dream" is the corny ending to this and the other vignettes.

The farmer's daughter routine is a threesome for ranch hands Cal Jammer and T. T. Boy, with Cameo as the jail-bait kid who teases and then humps them, with daddy chasing them around afterward toting a trusty pitchfork. Pure corn.

Johnny Angel gets to watch a sexy doctor and nurse have lesbian sex: Rene Foxx (who is the rock band singer for Randy) and mega-busty Chessie Moore, latter the highlight of the movie. Morbid ending to this scene is Ron Jeremy's idea of black humor.

A cliched Oiler scene has Biff Malibu going to a massage parlor, serviced by Tonisha Mills, again with a dumb, juvenile ending.

An Outer Space fantasy vignette was removed from the movie since it features Alexandria Quinn and was shot when she was only 17. Same thing happened with a companion film by Jeremy "Night at the Wax Works", also a vignettes fantasy that featured Quinn in one segment.
