Candy

"Candy" is one of a series of purposely oddball porn videos made by John T. Bone with Ron Jeremy prominently featured circa 1995, released by Metro Home Video under the "Amazing" label. They certainly are amazing, though not necessarily in a good way.

"Candy" has "Candy Apple" credited in the lead role, but my fave Heather Lee steals the show as a Raggedy Ann doll (with cute painted on face freckles) who comes to life in a demented vignette a la Disney's "Toy Story". "Candy" was made while "Toy Story" was still in production and not yet released so we can chalk this up to coincidence or perhaps great minds thinking alike (yeah, right).

Ron Jeremy hosts the show, as he often did for John T. Bone/John Bowen, the British porn director who showed lots of promise but didn't really make the big time. Jeremy is awful pretending to be one of those lovable Chiller Theater late night movie hosts on TV. He rises out of a coffin, makes faces and does hammy introductions that any amateur could rival.

His spiel about black magic is totally deceptive for the second vignette, which has nothing to do with black magic, witchcraft or anything, merely being a 4 guys on one girl gang-bang. Jeremy is a sex extra here alongside Guy DiSilva (there for interracial content), just as they did in another film in this series titled "Decadence".

Finale is the gimmick of the show, in which a tall blonde girl who slightly resembles Dorothy LeMay is revealed to have cock and balls, an unusual slipping in of TS sex into a mainstream porn feature during this era. (Usually TS action, just like in today's market, is clearly labeled to attract fans, not to fool them.) There's plenty of variety in her segment, and though the unusual actress also appears in another one of this series, titled "Dementia" she is never credited and I have been unable to identify her so far -she doesn't look like Kelly Michaels who made several TS videos for this team the year before. Her presence is meant as a surprise, and has remained so until my reviews 20 years later.

Coda has Ron making up some gibberish and pretending to turn serious, as he admonishes the audience that we are all destined to end up in "The Boneyard" someday, and how horrible existence really is. He's just kidding around, but his bad jokes leave a bad taste.
