"The Renegade" (1995) is Ken Ryker at the peak of his popularity and the top of his form. It's a big-budget sextravaganza, with a poignant story and lots of sets and props to accompany the sex. Ryker plays the "Renegade," evidently a drifter who's a little down on his luck. We know he's a drifter because he's riding around aimlessly on a big Harley like Jack Nicholson in "Easy Rider." (Jack Nicholson only wishes he had what Ken packs between his legs.) As for Ken -- he could use some driving lessons. He looks a little shaky with his extreme ride.
As our story opens, big Ken picks up a letter at the post office (like all true drifters, he evidently has his mail sent to "General Delivery"). He looks startled, then lapses into a flashback. Riding down the PCH, Ken picks up hunky brunet Hal Rockland who rides behind him. Hal shows that he's a big kidder when he pretends to jump to his death off a cliff, frightening poor Ken out of his wits. Such a joker! Fortunately he's just crouching on a ledge below, allowing them to subsequently connect with cute, perky little Joe Kent in a corrugated tin shed. They're total trade, letting Joe suck their huge dicks then cumming all over him. Joe shows his appreciation by letting fly his own load. "Thanks kid, I needed that," says our affectionate renegade as he departs.
Back in the present, Ken drives off on his big hog to read his letter in the privacy of the forest. Just him, the bugs, the animals, the trees ... Uh-oh. It's a wedding announcement. From Hal. Poor Ken seems dejected. He lapses into another flashback. This time he and Hal are in a bar with a big eaglehead on the wall. They're watching guys play pool. One tough guy shoots a ball right off the table. Hal scampers off to retrieve it; when he returns he jokingly mutters a derisive comment about the player's skills, once again showing what a mischievous boy he is. Overheard and confronted, he scurries to the back and discovers a dark room where three lissome youths are busily having sex. Porn stalwart Matt Bradshaw is so cute and young and vibrant here that you can understand how he became such a force to be reckoned with. All three, including blond Kevin Wolf and brunet Todd Stevens are cute and well-endowed. After enthusiastic fucking in a rapid sequence of configurations, they play with a buttplug. Matt can suck the plug into his hole almost completely just using sphincter power. Look Ma, no hands! All warmed up, Matt's the first to bottom, and the fucking here is all-out deep pounding from both guys. Then Matt spreads Todd's legs and fucks him until he cums, then shoots a big load all over his pink asshole. Immediately afterward, we see all three stroke out further loads. This is a truly great three-way scene: cute guys, big dicks, energetic performances, snappy editing, and never boring.
Trent Reed is shining up the Renegade's bike when he discovers a black leather vest in the side compartment. Turns out Trent's a leather huffer -- a few sniffs and he's ripping off his shirt and putting on the vest and sensually whacking off. Trent has a big, beefy, tan, muscular body that compares well with porn stars of any era, and like Ryker, he's at his peak here. Trent also puts on the Renegade's large silver cockring. It's hard to imagine that a cock ring that would fit Ken Ryker would work on anyone else, but it's all part of Trent's fantasy, so why not? Trent truly seems lost in a sexual reverie as he mounts the bike and jacks off while rubbing the leather seat until he shoots. Like all men, he rolls over and falls asleep afterwards, only to be surprised by Ken, who's a little upset that someone has gotten cum all over his leather vest and beloved Harley (as if that's the first time!).
As punishment Ken shoves his mammoth dick in Trent's face. Hardly punishment at all as far as Trent's concerned, who sucks as much of the half-hard salami as he can and rubs it around on his muscled chest. He seems completely lost in cock worship. After a long bout of face-fucking, Ken cums all over Trent's huge pecs, which sends Trent over the edge again himself. But that's still not enough for these two; Ken throws Trent over a table and shoves his ten-plus inches up Trent's tanned, muscled ass. This is one of the rare occasions when Ken is able to get his huge cock hard enough to fuck without holding onto it, and probably the most visually satisfying fuck of his porn career. These two muscled, masculine men are a good match for each other, and after Ken fucks Trent doggy, he pounds him missionary until Trent shoots a big wad all the way up onto his pecs with Ken still pounding furiously. Ken doesn't cum again -- perhaps he's saving it for ... someone else.
Back at the bar the pinball machine Hal is using malfunctions. Chris Ramsey comes over and helps out by having sex with him. He kisses his way down Hal's smooth torso, pulls out his dick and goes to town on it. Hal fucks his face in several interesting positions, and Chris can't seem to get enough of Hal's smooth, muscular body. He rims Hal, but Hal promptly puts him on top of the pinball machine for a good fucking. TILT! Cute shaggy-haired Chris enjoys it but seems to have some trouble maintaining his balance. He does better flipped over doggy-style and Hal pounds harder, then shoots a modest load. Chris squirts right onto the pinball machine. We don't think he gets extra points for that.
Later that night, lounging around the campfire Hal confesses his true feelings for the Renegade. "It's more than just buddies -- I think I love you." But just as the two are about to kiss, Ken chickens out and goes to bed. Undaunted, Hal strokes the object of his affection and soon Ken reciprocates and the two are making out like crazy. This is a nicely directed moment as the kissing seems natural and gradually proceeds to more. Then, in a unique moment in gay porn, Ken rolls on a condom before Hal sucks his huge meat. This seems to do the trick, since Ken is about as hard as he ever gets here. Ken then sucks Hal, also with a condom, then they move to a 69 position. They make out some more before jacking off to side-by-side climaxes.
So THAT'S why the Renegade is so bummed by the wedding announcement. His true love has gone to the other side. Well, he doesn't wait for any moss to grow on this rolling stone. He rides off, not into the sunset, but into San Francisco, where he very well might find a few other eligible bachelors to help him forget Hal.
One of the great videos of the nineties, "The Renegade" has a terrific cast and strong direction, if a somewhat cliché little story. Its stars have never looked better. The scene with Ken and Trent is particularly memorable, although all are worthy. "The Renegade" bears repeat viewing. Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat ...
