The article meets DYK requirements, and is adequately sourced apart from the Plot section (where referencing is optional). No close paraphrasing was found, and a QPQ has been done. The hook is interesting, cited inline, and is good to go, but considering how influential the film apparently was in the gay pornography industry, I was wondering if additional hooks based on that (like, for example, it helping popularize the "macho images", or it having high production values for a pornographic film) could also be proposed.

Thank you for the new hooks. All three are cited inline; I don't have access to the sources so I will be assuming good faith. All three are good to go and the final choice of hook will be left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:06, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
