If my freshman year at college had been anything like "The Freshmen" (1996), I would have been put on academic probation the first semester. Luckily for me, John Rutherford wasn't directing my every move. Here he manages to direct one of the best Falcon casts ever, and uses his deft hand to add some kinky, creative sex to what could otherwise have been your standard gay frat boy romp.
From the minute Eric Hanson puts down his duffel bag in his dorm room, you know that not only are the elements perfect for the theme, but also that the action is going to rock, and it does. Eric's inaugural night in the dorm is accented by the sex noises made by the randy twosome next door, hotties Sven and Travis Wade. The white-blond Sven, clad in a jockstrap to match, feasts on Travis' cock and butthole like a starving man (but hey, dude, they don't serve this kind of dish at the student union). Sven's jock comes off for a long ride on Travis' meat, and Sven's pink, hairless hole looks great being stretched out as the fuck continues, ending with Travis launching a load all over Sven's sunburned back.
Has Falcon ever featured a stud who looked more like a frat boy than blond cutie-pie Jeremy Penn? I don't think so, and Jeremy shows off his other big draw, his huge, fat cock, using it to entice dormmate Sebastian Cruz to a mutual jerk-off in the dorm bathroom. But even after both studs have creamed out a load, Jeremy remains in the bathroom (apparently Jeremy never goes to class), and it isn't long before he's managed to snare another conquest, this time brunet hunk Stone Michaels. Stone gives Jeremy's cock a lot of nice mouth-and-tongue action, then he is equally attentive to Jeremy's tight, beautiful asshole, and the high point is when the two fuck with Stone perched on all-fours on a bench while Jeremy pounds his ass from behind. Stone's cum-shot, cranked out while Jeremy is fucking him missionary, is wonderfully long and messy, and then Jeremy literally spews cum all the way up Stone's torso in the finale.
No gay porno set at a college is complete without the de rigeur coach fantasy. In this case, the coaches are played by well-hung studs Tom Chase and Mike Branson, and the athletes they seduce (well, sort of) are Chris Berrara and Tony Idol. Chris made very few gay porn videos, which makes this scene even more special, and the four-way between these studs is one of the best group scenes ever captured on film. Tony's creamy white ass gets lots of tongue action from his co-stars, and both Tom and Mike's ultra-huge cocks are raring to go throughout. Although the first part of the scene includes some impressive cum-shots, there is no fucking until Jordan Young arrives on the scene, serving as the eager and willing bottom who takes on both Tom and Mike's cocks with aplomb. He also gets anointed with four creamy shots at the end, as all the other studs gather round and unleash their loads on him.
We return to Eric, whose hunky roommate Lance Williams is jacking off in the next bed while Eric snoozes. Eric, however, is feigning slumber, and he smiles to himself as he listens to what's going on across the room, keeping silent until Lance loses it.
The next scene takes us to a fraternity where the pledge rituals include sucking off the brothers and then getting fucked by them (this is the kind of Hell Week that I am so sorry I missed). Jack Simmons and Tyson Cane are getting their jollies feeding their cocks to a blindfolded plebe when Eric shows up, and before he knows it, he's on his knees before the two studs as well. It's a nice twist when Eric learns that the stud being used for his oral skills is his roommate Lance, and when the secret is revealed, it isn't long before Eric is plundering Lance's ass from behind to the exhortations of both Tyson and Jack.
The orgy blasts off next, with side-by-side fucks, Eric taking on Jack while Tyson thrusts into Lance, and the camerawork and editing are expert, capturing the action and shifting between the two pairs thrillingly. The finale has two memorable pop-shots: first, Jack shooting across Eric's chest in a splattering cum-shot, and then Eric delivers the ultimate load, which erupts like a geyser and slashes down on his smoothly muscled torso.
There's one last, humorous twist, but I won't spoil it here. The way this classic ends is a great example why Falcon has been on top for an amazing 30-plus years, so far.
