I have seen many years ago Madonna's documentary video "Truth or Dare". Now,
I can't remember much of it (probably because I thought it was pretty much
forgettable) but I do recall the infamous coke bottle scene, which they play
out to minor extent in this porn spoof. I also recall periods of black and
white (was it half of the movie or almost the whole thing? Was there even
color?) which is also included in this spoof - during all of the dialogue
scenes (which is actually quite effective). Only for the sex scenes do they
turn up the color. Even though this John T. Bone video was written by some
guy named Ricardo Quesa, it still showcases a very eager, dynamic and
enthusiastic persona of one of Australia's finest, most natural women (who
happened to have done pornographic movies for a few years :-), Sunny McKay.
Although Mr. T. Bone is known for shooting outrageous sex scenes, he keeps
things toned down for this outing, focusing more on the plot (to have things
similar to its mainstream counterpart). He does a very good job, I might
add. In fact, this is the only video that shows us who Sunny McKay is as
opposed to the parts she's played in her nearly-100 video credits since her
start in 1990 (she has also done European porn, but I have no idea how many
titles she's racked up on the foreign market). Here, we see a woman with not
only a pretty face, perfect body and cute accent, but someone who takes no
rubbish from anyone and, most importantly, who has a mind of her own.

The movie starts off in a studio where Dyanna Lauren interviews Sunny and
asks her why she wants to do this American tour. Sunny comments on how she's
sick and tired of people having the wrong idea about porn stars and that she
wants them to realize they are actual human beings. By giving everyone a
glimpse of her day-to-day life (her fans mostly, which she emphasizes is her
main reason for doing this documentary on her tour), hopefully they will
realize it. She says her fans make her a lot of money and they deserve a
peek at the 'behind-the-scenes'. I'm glad they finally made a video that
focuses on her life outside of porn sets as well as on.
In a building of a porn shoot, a director named Austin (Marc Wallice) is
giving some crew people the lowdown: Sunny's travelled a long way, they
should be extra nice to her and if she wants something they should get it for
her. Sunny suddenly comes walking around the corner and greets Austin. He
hands her a script and tells her they're all excited about the whole thing.
Sunny wants to see the set, so she heads off on her own to find it. Austin
calls out to her because she's going to wrong way, then chases after her.
A really big guy about a few inches taller than Ron Jeremy most probably (but
carries just about the same weight) is on the phone making some demands.
After slamming it down, he calmly takes a drag from his cigarette and tells
us that he's Sunny's manager - and husband (Barry McKay, which at first I was
surprised to discover but it's probably true: this guy has appeared in non-sex
roles in other Sunny movies like "Slip Of The Tongue", "Taboo 8" (which he
helped produce) and Alex deRenzy's "Steamy Windows"). Anyhow, he tells us he
wasn't enthusiastic about this tour at first, but that Sunny's a driven
workaholic, she must be on the set all the time (and not just during her sex
scenes) and that she's not a control freak but a perfectionist. His main
concern is that he doesn't want to see her worn out (same here, Barry). That
takes us to the first sex scene where Sunny's looking over the script with
Jonathan Morgan (who's getting a blowjob by Nicole London, pre-boob job, on
some cheesy looking bathroom set). Austin prepares everyone for the start of
filming then Sunny rushes off to the side to watch.
After a brief blowjob, Nicole sits up on the toilet seat while
Jonathan proceeds by fucking her pussy. Nicole doesn't look all
that hot here and even though she laughs a few times and looks
like she's having fun, things remain tame most of the way through.
They do a reverse-cowgirl next; better, but not too many shots of
the penetration. After an ok doggie fuck, Nicole rolls down on
the floor head first to get her butt up in the air but ends up
doing a sommersault. They start laughing (blooper?) but, the
professionals that they are, they quickly get on with the scene.
Jonathan stands up over her (her feet are at her head) while he
takes the plunge in her pussy. Ending the scene, Jonathan pulls
out, sits on the toilet and Nicole sticks her tongue out while he
jerks off. She slurps him down but ends up spitting it all out.
We fade in on Sunny getting her bangs touched up. She's all dressed and
ready for filming (whatever it was they didn't include it in this video
unfortunately). She tells us that the whole fun of this business is the sex
and if that ever stops being fun she'll hang up her dildos and go home. (I
hope she's in Europe somewhere taking things slow with her workload and not
in permanent retirement - I do believe she continued to make foreign videos
after leaving the American scene).
Dyanna briefly interviews Sunny's make-up girl (Lacy Rose) who tells her
she's been doing Sunny's make-up almost ever since she entered the business.
She tells her they've had a little fun on the side sometimes and that it
shouldn't be unexpected, having worked closely with her for so long.
Dyanna goes back to interviewing Sunny, who's shaving a little bit of her pussy
hair in a washroom. She tells Dyanna that a lot of porn stars shave their
pussy lips and that it's like a uniform to them. She says doesn't want to feel
irritated or raw totally shaving it bald. Quickly changing subjects, Dyanna
asks her if she likes doing girl/girl scenes. She replies, "Between you and
me? In my personal life I love it, it's my favorite". Cut to Sunny and Lacy
having just finished applying make-up and they start getting into it right
there (not really on a 'set' per se, but obviously 'staged' for us).
The girls start kissing eachother and get into the usual g/g
stuff: nipple sucking and pussy licking (with no use of dildos).
It gets pretty hot as each girl brings the other to her own
searing orgasm. They both look like they're having fun and if
they're faking it, they do a good job. John T. Bone even takes
a step in front of the camera for 'the world's briefest cameo'.
To end things, Sunny rides Lacy's face and rubs her clit fast
as she orgasms. As both girls catch their breath, we see Barry
in the background, looking on while smoking a cigarette (proving
that life as a porn star manager is a piece of cake - so, where
can I apply for work? :-).
Austin tells us Sunny's a creative and very remarkable woman, for is she
wasn't, they wouldn't be doing this video-documentary on her. Turning over
to Dyanna, he tells her she ought to be in pictures herself and if she hangs
around him long enough, he can break her in. He says he and Sunny get along
great and that their friendship is like a mentor kind of thing. Then he
tells Dyanna that there's nothing a porn viewer likes more than seeing a
beautiful, classy woman getting down on all fours and licking some guy's
balls.
We cut to a porn set where Sunny and Jonathan are having sex (reverse-cowgirl
position) in a jail cell setting. There's a lot of fog, you can't really see
what's going on (there was probably no real penetration), but you can
definitely see what Sunny's wearing; she's got on some kind of leather strap
around her neck and going down her sides with several chains attached from
side to side across her chest (I've seen these before in other videos but I
don't know what they're called), leather wrist bands, another piece on her
waist (we don't really see her body from the waist down, but from the sound
of her walking it's not hard to tell she's either wearing heels or boots)
and a black hat. She gets up off of Jonathan and calls out for somebody to
get her some avaline. Somebody hands her some K-Y jelly and she freaks out,
telling Austin he knows she likes avaline on the set and that she's allergic
to K-Y. She furiously heads off the set and Austin tells everyone to take a
break. All alone on the set, Jonathan tries to be funny by asking, to anyone
who'll listen, "Is this a single boy masturbation scene?".
Back in make-up, Lacy touches up Sunny's face while Dyanna continues her
interview. Sunny says it's a bit of a power thing and that Austin's a great
director but he just needs to know who's important every now and then. She
goes on to comment about porn directors in general (saying things like they
audition new girls with their dicks) and when she wants to put things back
in line she just throws a little tantrum. I really don't see Sunny in an
aggressive kind of mood so I found it very interesting to watch her with this
take-charge attitude.
Austin's in his office with a seemingly shy up and cummer (pre-boob job Sierra
- however, this was not her first video). He tells her to take her clothes off
so he could take pictures of her for his record book. She poses by a bookcase,
looking like an innocent, girl-next-door type. Then Austin tells her he
needs to know if she can handle the kind of work she'll be required to do,
so he does exactly what Sunny mentioned earlier: he auditions her with his
dick.
After feeling her up a bit, he asks her if she can deep throat.
She tells him she can and immediately gets down on her knees.
As soon as she starts giving him head, he gets hard - but she
never really deep throats. She licks his balls a little, but
that's about it. They fuck doggie style on his desk and Sierra
really gets into it. She's either really good at faking it or
actually does cum, but she starts pounding her hand down and
screams to orgasm (pretty hot - real or not). They switch to a
mish and she continues squealing. Perhaps a little too much
focus on their facial reactions, but still hot. Then they leap
onto a couch for a semi-scorcher of a cowgirl. Sierra rides
him high and places her hands down firmly on the couch as she
thrashes up and down. Unfortunately, it's cut short and then
Marc gives her a fair facial. She puckers up and slurps him
down. With less focus on their faces half of the time, this
scene could've been much hotter (but it still burns).
In her hotel room later that night, Sunny's getting her hair combed by Barry
who tells her she's dancing at a place called Lipstick the next day and also
has a sex scene to shoot with a guy named Billy Q. She frowns and says, "Oh
God, I hope he can get it up".
On the set early the next day, we meet Billy Q (Nick East, billed as Scott
Turner) who tells us he has a reputation for usually having a limp dick.
It's because he fucks too much, he says. Simply adding yet another notch to
his bed post, he wanders off and finds Lacy in the make-up room who tells
him Austin might come in and catch them and that he should just save himself
up for the scene he'd be shooting in a little while. Billy just lets his
hormones take over and sits her up on a counter.
Nick flickers his tongue around Lacy's rose-bud, but it shows
she had a much better suck session with Sunny earlier. She
returns the favor with a fair, however short, blowjob. Once
Lacy rides Nick in the r-c position, things heat up quickly
(there's a certain roughness to Lacy's screams that make it
sound like she has a sore throat). They do it doggie style
next, then she sits back up on the counter as he slams deep
into her pussy. Lacy lays her head back and rubs her clit
fast. Once he slows down she tells him twice, "Don't fuckin'
stop!" so he quickly regains speed. A bit more heated humping
then she tells him, "I want you to cum on my fuckin' face".
He pulls out and she dives down to suck him off. A very poor
cumshot follows (a non-facial) and she continues licking his
head while clenching his shaft. A poor ending to a scene that
gradually built up a smoldering climax halfway. Lacy is
definitely hot and this scene should have been longer.
We briefly see Sunny and Billy on a set for their shoot. Sunny lays on a bed
looking bored while Billy kneels next to her. He can't get it up and it just
stalls everyone's time. "It must have been something I ate," he tells
Austin. Not too far away, Barry grins at Lacy and she scurries off.
Back in the studio hours later, we find Dyanna interviewing both Sunny and
Barry. She asks them how their tour has been so far and they tell her it's
been grueling. Sunny says for the past two weeks she's been in 17 cities,
dancing, doing sex scenes and signing autographs for her fans. When asked
if it has been worth it, she replies, "Oh absolutely! Haven't you seen the
way the fans have been reacting?". Then she says that after the tour she's
going to take a couple of weeks off. Barry adds that she'd be touring Europe
afterwards. "I decided I want to do a sex scene in every major European
city", Sunny says. "What drives you to do something like that?", asks
Dyanna. "My fans," she replies, "I want to do it all for my fans" (say, how
about making a comeback to American porn, Sunny? :-).
Most of the cast sit around and talk, during a break. Jonathan starts off
by discussing his first sexual experience, then Nicole speaks. "I got
started late," she says, "I never saw a dick until I was 18". Billy tells
her, "Yeah, but girl.. look at you now" and everyone cracks up. Jonathan
asks, "What about you, Sunny?". She says that when she wanted to know what
it felt like to be penetrated, she used a coke bottle. Then Jonathan hands
her one. "Why don't you show us?", he grins. Suddenly everyone's cheering
her on and as soon as she's ready to do it, Austin barges into the room and
gets Sunny, Jonathan and Billy to prepare for their scene.
Moments later. We are on the set for the threeway. Not much of a set at
that, just a black mattress with a Super Bowl sign in the background. Both
Jonathan and Billy are wearing shirts with some kind of sporting event logo
on the front and Sunny's wearing a black cheerleader's dress, has her hair in
two ponytails (on both sides of her head) and is wearing sneakers. There's no
real set-up for this scene, they just start getting into it.
Jonathan starts licking her pussy as she bends forward, sucking
Nick's cock. Jonathan starts thumbing her pussy and she starts
giving Nick faster head. Then they switch sides, Nick fucks
Sunny as she sucks off Jonathan (in which she gets a little
nasty by spitting on his dick as she strokes and sucks it; has
anyone ever seen her spit on a cock before?). Things happen
so fast; next up, Sunny's on her back while sucking off Nick
and getting fucked by Jonathan. Later, she cowgirls Nick as
she blows Jon. Then they lift her up, supporting her at both
ends while she wraps her legs around Nick's waist and tightens
her lips around Jonathan's dick, sucking feverishly. Lowering
her to the ground, both guys pull out to cum; Nick doesn't do
much on his end, but Jonathan creams Sunny's chin, dropping a
few loads down her throat. She spits some of it out, but
eagerly continues to lick and suck. An otherwise ho-hum scene
with a few moments of Sunny getting nasty.
Barry's on the phone, holding two airplane tickets and confirming the flight
back to Sydney. Then he tucks Sunny into bed, turning to the camera, putting
a finger to his mouth and going "Shhh". We pan over to Dyanna, who just
waves her hand in front of her throat signaling to "cut" and the movie just
ends.
Truthfully, this is one of Sunny McKay's best videos (with the box claiming
this movie presents her 'in her most revealing role yet'). However, some
people may think this is one of Dyanna Lauren's worst videos, since she
doesn't have a sex scene or even take her clothes off. I gave this movie a
3.50 rating because it was a change of pace from other movies that Sunny
had appeared in; she got to show us a part of her inner self and proved that
porn stars are people, too, not just bimbos or jiggolos that can only earn
a living by getting paid to have sleazy sex on camera. Anyhow, Lacy Rose and
Sierra give good performances too, earning a good part of my rating. As the
rest of the cast linger about, you can feel a good chemistry among everyone.
It was also nice to see Sunny mixed in among a crowd with more recent stars
(this is the only movie she shares with Sierra, Lacy, Nicole, Dyanna and
Jonathan - not to mention the only video she's done for Zane). But most of
all, it was nice of John T. Bone to present his discovery to us in a way that
shows it's not the fact that she's a porn star, but someone who puts effort
into her work and does a good job. One of her few 1993 titles on the market,
Sunny shines bright in what I consider her swansong American porno movie.
