Every porn generation has its own form of ignorance. Just as performers coming in the business today may not know who Ron Jeremy is, so was I drawing a blank when I first met director Jake Jacoby.
Jacoby at the time was trying to get a porn company off the ground with a new ethnic series where the performers spoke Spanish. I’m going to myself who is this guy? Well this guy was the director of one of the best known porn flicks of all time, Taxi Girls, a movie from the Seveties that’s basically a series of gangbangs dressed up with a script. And a very good one at that.
Nancy Suiter, a well-appointed blond with a woman-child face and a Traci Lords pout [there’s a distinct resemblance], plays the lead hooker with a free love attitude. When she and her fellow street tramps get busted, Suiter figures it’s time to look for a less stressful occupation but one that can deliver the same type of cash.
After the girls take care of a couple of cops back at the station in a manner Barbie Cummings could relate to, Suiter hits on the idea of starting a cab company.
Her friend [Mike Wrangler] owns on but won’t help her get started, so Suiter and company suck some major cock at the local bank to get seed money, if you will. With $50,000, they purchase a fleet of junkers and take their customers on rides to the carnal depot. Now that she’s better situated, Suiter follows her dream to become a stand-up comic- a prospect that satifies her boyfriend, John Holmes a lot better than her turning tricks.
Holmes and Suiter’s bedroom knockabout is certainly the best thing about the movie. But only when one of Suiter’s girls [Serena] is kidnapped by Wrangler’s buddies [like DVD sales, their business is down 30%] does the plot go to the dark side.
For want of putting a more delicate spin to it, Serena’s mugged, sexually, and Suiter gets an equal taste of it before Holmes rounds up a rescue force of girls to go after her. [Trivia buffs take note: the address of the rescue is 1486 Ridge Canyon.]
Strangely, this circumstance puts Suiter, not Wrangler, before a judge. But the judge is a client, and hooking can be a very small world.
