From Flesh Gordon to The Sperminator, spoofs of mainstream cultural offerings have long been a staple of the porn industry. Shakespeare porn in particular is surprisingly common, as I found in 2001 when writing an article for Lingua Franca, “The Pound of Flesh.” But here’s something I hadn’t actually seen before: Kubrick porn. In The Sexxxing, a 2005 quickie from Danni.com, a young woman named Miss Torrent applies to be the winter manager of a porn company’s offices—and the place turns out to be haunted by horny, fake-breasted lesbians. Orgasms ensue.
The two clips in the video below are pretty tame, because I edited them that way. But be careful if you’re at work, because there’s a bare breast or two and a few seconds of moaning. The opening titles, in Futura Extra Bold, Kubrick’s favorite typeface, are mine. As is often the case with porn spoofs, this one is an adaptation only in the loosest sense (double entendre alert!), and it was probably filmed in a single afternoon.
There have been several other porn films inspired by Kubrick’s oeuvre, including Spermacus, 2002: A Sex Odyssey, Thighs Wide Shut, and A Clockwork Orgy. I found copies of the last two, but I won’t be posting clips, as they appear to be pretty hardcore all the way through. You’re in luck, though, because I just found the work-safe trailer for A Clockwork Orgy on YouTube. This was made in 1995:
The website Adult DVD Empire has a page for The Sexxxing that isn’t quite safe for work.
And this fake Shining trailer from 2005 is still the funniest thing ever.
I’m really disappointed they didn’t name it “A Cockwork Orgy”… so obvious.
Frankly it bothers me that they’re not actually twins. Not for any sort of erotic reason, but merely one of accuracy. Even the box cover cites them as twins when they obviously look nothing at all alike.
So when’s the porn remake of Barry Lyndon coming?
Is she really called “Miss Torrent”? Yes, the hiring manager seems to pronounce it like that, but she herself clearly says “Torrence” (or Torrance like in The Shining?). Such trivia aren’t listed on the cover nor apparently in any online cast listing; does the film have credits with character names? (Though in my experience they tend not to :-)
Yep, I’m sure that’s what the hiring manager says…
Well yes, there is no diasgreement about that, but doesn’t she herself seem to say something different? Or am I reading (hearing, as it were) too much into it?
