So here you go! As before, this is a clip from the Rolfe Kanefsky joint The Erotic Misadventures Of The Invisible Man. Our invisible (and naked) Norman gropes his girlfriend Kelli in public, and a nearby mime gets jealous because she's stealing his audience. The mime gives the girlfriend a talking-to, and Norman decides to take revenge. [IMDB]

<![CDATA[Meet The King Of Soft-Core Scifi Sex Comedies [NSFW]]]> Emmanuelle wears a cyber-headset that lets her control someone else's body, so of course she uses it to turn a piano-player into her sex-puppet. Writer-director Rolfe Kanefsky's softcore porn films include mind-control, alien sex toys... and the invisible man. There's a whole subculture of scifi pervs for whom LA-based Kanefsky is their cinematic god, and we've got a bevy of his most perverted scenes below. Not safe for work, unless you work naked.

Rolfe Kanefsky is probably best known for his script Blonde And Blonder, which got made into a movie starring Pamela Anderson. He's also written (and in some cases directed) a ton of truly bizarre horror films, including Jacqueline Hyde (featuring one of the weirdest breast-enlargement scenes ever), Corpses (with Jeff Fahey), The Hazing (with Brad Dourif), and There's Nothing Out There. But along the way, he's found time to work on a huge number of scifi movies, and a whole community of perverted nerds worship him for it. On with the pr0n:

Here's a second clip from Emmanuelle: The Ultimate Attraction. Emmanuelle still has the headset that allows her to control the body of anyone who wears the matching necklace. (Kanefsky explained on the Erotic Mind Control Forum that the headband/necklace thing was originally intended to be a sort of Being John Malkovich riff.)

But now, being the wild experimenter that she is, she's decided to wear both the headset and necklace — creating an unstoppable feedback loop that somehow lets her absorb all the erotic energy from people around her. Yes. It gets better. So, suffused with all this pent-up ambient orgone stuff, she decides to have sex with her boy-toy, but that doesn't solve her problem. So she decides to download her sexual energy into the Internet. And because she downloads it via "an open signal," it goes everywhere, all over the world, driving everyone within reach of a net-connected computer into a sexual frenzy. The ensuing sexy global screw-montage (including stock footage from other Kanefsky classics) goes on for several minutes, but here's a bit of it:

One of the great things about the Kanefsky oeuvre is that you start to notice linkages across his different films. For example, that same necklace/headband pairing from the Emmanuelle movie turn up in his teen sex comedy, Pretty Cool. A dorky teenager manages to get his uptight teacher to wear the necklace, so he can control her body as long as he wears the headband. So of course he makes her go to a pool-shooting lesbian bar and play with her breasts in the bathroom. Here's what a strict teacher looks like trying to lick both of her own nipples at once.

Another Rolfe Kanefsky softcore epic is the Rod Steele, 0014 movie, You Only Live Until You Die. It's pretty damn goofy, but honestly still much better than Octopussy or either of the Timothy Dalton Bond films. Superspy Rod Steele gets hold of a device that drives anyone into a sexual frenzy if you point it at them. For reasons too complicated to go into, he thinks it's a listening device or something. Here, his fellow spy is posing as a sex worker to get answers out of someone... until Rod accidentally hits her with the horny-ray:

And then later, two evil female spies crash into Rod's hotel room dressed as maids, and they overpower him. They want to steal some of his sperm so their evil boss Tangerina can create a perfect clone of him and control whatever Rod Steele controls. But he turns the tables with his horniness ray. (I won't spoil the ending of Rod Steele, except that his extra-giant penis is crucial in defeating Tangerina and her evil hyperative-tongued snake.)

And yes, Rolfe Kanefsky's soft-porn films borrow liberally from the erotic comics of Milo Manara, especially Click, where a remote control turns an uptight heiress crazy horny. If you got all excited when you saw Adam Sandler was making a movie called Click, and then felt let down, then Kanefsky's films are for you.

In another instance of linkage between Kanefsky films, the horny ray from Rod Steele somehow falls out of an airplane and winds up in the movie The Ultimate Attraction. It tumbles from the airplane and crashes into a gym, which is in danger of going out of business because of the big chains. (Just like the movie Dodgeball.) So the gym's enterprising employees use it to drum up business by making the gym more sexy. We already presented a fantastic clip from it here, but here's a moment where a gym bunny uses it to spice up the "orgasmic aerobics" class:

This is not really science fiction, but I have to feature a moment from Kanefsky's classic film Emmanuelle vs. Dracula. It would be hard for a movie to live up to that title, but somehow EvD succeeds. Dracula, for some reason, is a rockabilly hipster, and smoke comes out of the bottom of his pants when he uses his mind-control powers on women. (Sadly, you can't really see that in this clip.) Here he is, using his telepathic abilities to make an uptight woman orgasmic:

But we mentioned the Invisible Man, right? Another Kanefsky classic is called The Erotic Misadventures Of The Invisible Man, and it's loosely based on the Manara comic Butterscotch: The Flavor Of The Invisible. Misadventures includes so many fantastic moments that it's hard to choose just one to feature: like the scene where the invisible man beats up a mime, and everybody thinks the mime is just really talented. And the scene where the invisible man tries to spook an uptight hotel manager by convincing her the hotel is haunted, but instead he only makes her horny. But I like this scene, where the invisible man walks in on his lady friend getting happy with her pillow, and then she mimes having sex with him. (While another couple have sex wearing opera gloves. For some reason.)

Finally, there's the fantastic Sex Files: Alien Erotica II, where frequent Kanefsky star Gabriella Hall gets caught up in an alien pleasure machine (which knows how to plug itself into a standard 120-volt A.C. power socket) and it does indeed pleasure her. Yay!

<![CDATA[Greatest Sci-Fi Porn Of All Time]]> Porn has always wanted to be science fictional, ever since the influential Barbarella. Weird aliens or "cyberpunk" touches can help to liven up otherwise repetitive porn scenarios. And the line between a science fiction "B" movie and a soft-core porn epic is often more seethru than Jane Fonda's breast bubbles. Click through for a history of the mutant genre, with some racy but probably work-safe clips.

Barbarella (1968). The original scifi porn film. Jane Fonda's blonde mega-mane and anime eyes radiate sexuality. It starts with a zero-G spacesuit strip show in Fonda's shag-carpeted space capsule, and then she fights off angry dolls in her ripped stockings. Plus she hooks up with a hunky space angel.
Money shot: Duran Duran puts Barbarella into his sexomatic Excessive Machine, only to have her burn it out with her over-the-top tantric energy.

Flesh Gordon (1974). A crazy pastiche of the 1930s Flash Gordon serials, featuring Flesh and his sidekick Dale Ardor. The Emperor Wang bombards the Earth with a sex ray from planet Porno and it turns everybody into a sex fiend. This is somehow a problem. Lesbian queens in black swan spaceships, bearded men with pasties, penisaurs, bearded men with drag queen makeup, sex robots... The whole thing is intensely campy, even by 70s porn standards, and feels like Rocky Horror with more nudity and less singing. And yet it features special effects by people who went on to work on the Star Trek and Star Wars movies.
Money shot: A giant claymation monster, voiced by Craig T. Nelson from Coach, grabs Dale and carries her up a wall like King Kong. Flash has to battle the lumpy creature to save his hot sidekick. Here's the trailer:

Latex and Shock (1995). Probably Michael Ninn's most famous porn films, Latex and its sequel try for a "cyberpunk" aesthetic without actually comprehending cyberpunk. But that's okay, because the actual plot about a psychotic telepath imprisoned in a future dystopia is weird enough on its own. Malcolm Stevens has the ability to read people's thoughts, and uses it to discover their sexual fantasies. (Instead of getting rich, or escaping from his asylum.)
Money shot: In the second film, a female therapist tries to use shock treatment to cure Stevens, but her assistant gets drawn into a telepathic nightmare where she's trapped with two sexy gargoyles.

Cyberella: Forbidden Passions (1996). It's just your standard-issue cyberpunk redemption-through-sex afterlife story. Mara is a famous virtual reality designer, until she dies in a fire while plugged in to VR. Instead of going to the afterlife, her soul gets trapped in cyberspace, where she meets God. And God tells her to go into other people's VR worlds and have sex with them, until she transcends this plane of existence. Yes, it's that great.
Money shot: Cyberella enters someone's cracked copy of Mac Paint and they have paint-splashing VR sex.

Orgazmo (1998). A naive Mormon missionary gets drawn into doing porn and portrays a superhero named Orgazmo, who wields a ray that causes people to climax in this film by Trey (South Park) Stone. And then, when Joe Young decides to fight back against the sleazy film producer who exploited him, he suddenly finds that he can wield the power of Orgazmo for real.
Money shot: Orgazmo flying-kicks real porn star Ron Jeremy, who explodes into little pieces... only to come back a few minutes later.

Rod Steele 0014 and The Ultimate Attraction (2000-2002). Horror auteur Rolfe Kanefsky has a sideline in scifi soft-core porn movies, which often air late at night on premium cable and then come out on "unrated" DVDs. (He also wrote the totally bizarre Emanuelle vs. Dracula.) Both of these films involve a "clicker" that can increase the horniness level of anyone you point it at, ripped off from Manara's Click. In Steele, a James Bond parody loses track of his arousal-causing gadget and it creates mayhem. In Attraction, a mom-and-pop gym's staff uses the device to save the gym from a gym mogul who wants to buy them out. Really.
Money shot: In Attraction, it turns out the clicker doesn't just increase your arousal, it can transform your body as well. Here, a dorky guy uses the clicker to turn his gym coworker into a supermodel:
