Muscle Up
Synopsis
Compilation of four Fox Studio short films. Muscle Up: Tom Leduc and Kurt Lassen are frolicking and posing by the pool, but it soon turns into a passionate muscle worship love scene. Big Shot (a.k.a. "The Quarterback," "Hot Shot"): Handsome, super hung Mark Rutherford performs solo, and adds whopping new dimensions to just a shower. Leather Bond: Muscular, leather hunk, Tex Murdock gets adored by equally muscular Tom LeDuc in a sexy body worship with a leather twist. Furlough: Butch Barnes is a horny hitchhiking Marine on an action-packed furlough. In the 1989 reissue, a Jeff York solo scene was added, bringing the running time to 63 minutes.
