Do You Remember Cal-Star Spanking Movies?
If you’re of an age to have been buying spanking videotapes (yes, video tapes, remember those?) in the 1980s in the United States, you will surely have fond memories of California Star. Cal-Star was perhaps the first porn producer in the US (at least, of the ones with broad distribution in adult video stores) to do “real” spanking movies, showing actual spanked-and-caned bottoms. (At that time, domestic spanking movies tended to feature bored-looking models saying “uh, ouch” while a greasy great-uncle type patted their bottoms. Or, more often, fake lesbians tickling each other with the tips of floggers.)
Cal-Star was different. The spankings were real, or at least faked with enthusiasm; and the bottoms wound up looking really really sore. The models, though, were pure 1980s corn-fed Porn Valley rode-hard-and-put-away-wet porn stars. No risk of thinking these “schoolgirls” were too young! It was pure American porn glory, with a kinky twist.
I think I still have a few of their videotapes tucked away in deep storage, but I haven’t seen any new titles in years. But now, via the sparkling miracle that is the internet, much of their old catalog is available for download at California Star Productions.
As these production stills show, Cal-Star was known for brightly lit scenes, often outdoors in sunshine, porny (almost trashy) models, and heavily welted bottoms. Enjoy:
Really, what’s not to like?
