Ron Jeremy has the role of a lifetime, playing himself as a deluded porn actor, in this knowing satire of the Adult Industry. It succeeds, where so many behind-the-scenes exercises fail, by never taking itself too seriously.
So Ron is convinced that he IS San Fernando Jones, a Hamilton Ford knock-off who is on a quest for the title Temple supposedly containing the world's greatest pussy. His search is met by fellow porn folk who constantly heckle him about pretending not to be Ron Jeremy.
It's all an excuse, like so much of even story line porn, for a series of XXX sex scenes, but the climax of the feature has an attractive set for interior of the pyramid-shaped little temple, in which Ron achieves his goal, humping away with a beautiful leading lady played (as if herself) by Tabitha Stevens. Stevens returned a decade later to the porn-parody genre with some success in the ripoff of De Palma's "Scarface".
A constant figure on screen is the porn director who hired Ron (and gets him to do a conventional sex scene with newcomer Heather Lyn at one point) named Michael. I naturally assumed he was the "San Fernando" auteur Mike Quasar, but instead is credited as producer Michael Adams.
Quasar, also credited on the shooting script "San Fernando Jones in the Search for the Temple of Poon" as Quasarman, has had an odd career, scoring fine credits early on like this one and "Memoirs of a Madam", then cranking out perhaps a 1000 junkers for Zero Tolerance and 3rd Degree labels, while acting as cameraman for most of the industry's female directors, and more recently delivering quality Couples story films to Wicked Pictures. Cast member Tina Cherie is listed as co-writer and story by on the shooting script (seen in close-up as held by Ron in the BTS) but ends up with only story credit on screen.
