Watching "The Best of John Davenport" really took me back -- to the relatively carefree days of condom-free gay porn, and to the shining star that was John Davenport. For those of you who are too young to remember him, John made a name for himself fast in gay porn, primarily due to his outstanding physical attributes. He had a choirboy's face, topped off with tightly curled, dirty-blond hair, a tight, naturally muscular body, a prizewinner dick, and to top it all off, his cum-shots were always nothing short of jaw dropping, both in terms or volume and trajectory.
This collection includes six outstanding Catalina performances from John's career. In the first, from "Bad Boys Club," pretty co-star Lyndon Blair almost sleeps through the opportunity for the fuck of a lifetime, as John masturbates next to him in a tent. Lyndon finally does rouse himself in time, and the ensuing action takes the form of the "touch it, you'll like it" theme. Lyndon touches it, and, indeed, he does like it -- enough to blow John and then give up his pert little ass to John's thick cock. With his long hair and truly girlish face, the sight of Lyndon's dick is kind of a shock, because it's pretty huge, too. After Lyndon blows his wad, John rises above him and spurts a major load all over the young stud's thick pubes and tight torso.
John plays a firefighter (all hose puns are intended) in the next clip, from "In Hot Pursuit." Robert Harris, his co-star in this scene, sleeps through not only a fire downstairs but also the wails of sirens and John's entrance, in full fire gear. John wakes Robert up, and because Robert is fully nude already, it isn't long before John is sampling his milky-white bubble-butt. The camera shots of John's penetration are really great in this scene, from close-ups to a tight in shot of both studs in high rut. They shoot their loads almost simultaneously, with John's cream providing some extra lube for Robert as he jerks his dick.
A pool is the setting for John's pairing with Tony Marino, from "The Bigger They Come." Tony is at least as well hung as John, and John goes down on his hard cock while gripping it at the base. But of course it is John who tops Tony, and Tony jerks off and blows his load as John is thrusting into him missionary. John's cum-shot is almost unbelievable -- his jets of cum fly high over Tony's head and even out of the camera shot. The director obviously thought a lot of it, too -- it's shown from two different angles.
John's next playmate is another fine stud, handsome Chris Gray. John and Chris get next to each other in a shooting gallery (from "Big Guns") and then they go home and suck and fuck. Chris was almost an exclusively a bottom in gay porn, and his slightly furry, open hole gets a lot of camera time while John sucks his cock. There are many memorable moments from this scene, but the one that stands out to me is the way John rips Chris' jeans and underwear off and slings them aside as Chris watches with a sly grin on his face. Their fucking is every bit as fevered as that beginning suggests it will be. John once again produces a gusher of cum at then end, this time all over Chris's back and exposed ass.
Another scene from "Bad Boys Club" is next. In this one, John stars with another legendary bottom, Mike Henson. The twist in this scene is that John bottoms for Mike, a rarity for him. Mike eats out John's ass and then thrusts into him from behind, and John shows off his sexual versatility (and he's not one of those tops who winces and looks like he's not enjoying it, either). Plus, John shoots one of his trademark huge loads, even though he's not on top.
A scene from "Powertool," with Michael Gere and Jeff Stryker, rounds out the collection. John, in response to a "Dear John" letter he has received from his girlfriend, takes out his frustrations on cellmate Michael as Jeff watches from another cell. Jeff jerks his cock as John face-fucks Michael and then bends him over the cot for a long hard pounding. John coats Michael's ass with cum in the finale, followed by Michael's eruption, and finally, Stryker, who shoots his through the bars of the cell, squeezing the last few drops from the fat head of his cock.
As for the technical aspects of the DVD, the transfer is good, with the grainy quality of the early video intact, which I actually like.
DVD features: Chapter selections; galleries; cum-shot review; and a bonus scene from "Score," directed by Josh Eliot, with Ray Harley and Blake Harper (set to an operatic "score," with both men sporting fetching goatees and randy hardons, Blake begins the coupling by letting Ray absolutely face-fuck him until Harper's jaw is filled to capacity; teasing his buddy, Ray removes his cock, swings it for a while, then stuffs it back in; when it comes time to return the favor, Harley, on his stomach, dives into the crotch of reclining Blake; these two studs fuck like rabbits, Ray sitting on Blake's lap and hyperactively bouncing; his orgasm is almost thunderous; not content to finish until Blake has reached the same effect, Ray lets Blake pummel his furry buns more; when Harper is close, Ray sucks him off until Blake spews hot lava all over Harley's chest).
