Origins/background: Calling it “Backdraft with Boobs” might be overly reductive, but there’s little doubt that this 1997 classic from Wicked/Adam & Eve combines the best of mainstream (convincing, dramatic action) with the best of hardcore (beautiful, busty ’90s stars). It’s been a monster bestseller ever since it debuted.
Memorable scene(s): A lineup of firefighters receive blowjobs while standing in and next to their firetruck. Jenna Jameson is given some memorable action here, but Johnni Black steals the show with a double-barreled BJ and cumshot toward the scene’s end. And here we thought that firefighters were in the business of extinguishing fires, not starting them! (scene starts at 00:35:45)
Trivia: Classic star Veronica Hart shows up in a non-sex cameo role.
Director’s chair: Brad Armstrong (current partner of Jessica Drake), who also appears in the movie. Flashpoint helped establish him as one of Wicked’s most popular directors.
Quotable: “It’s the biggest movie we’ve ever had at Wicked, and I feel like this is the release that made Jenna a superstar. Flashpoint is one of the all-time classics in that it’s ten years old but doesn’t feel dated at all.” –Wicked’s Bonnie Kail on the movie’s enduring popularity, quoted on occasion of Flashpoint‘s 10th anniversary
The critics said: “It is a sensational experience. Jenna has never looked better than she does in her scenes with TT Boy.” (Adult Empire)
Follow-ups: An anniversary edition was issued in 2007 under the title Flashpoint X.
