Winner Takes All

About This Movie

Winner Takes All is an interesting piece for anyone looking to explore the niche of adult short films from the early '80s. The film is structured as a collection of three segments, each with its own unique vibe—'High Voltage' brings a mix of desert tension and horse racing with a sultry twist, while the titular segment leans heavily into the sun-soaked allure of poolside antics. The performances, especially from Lee Ryder and Bill Henson, offer a certain charm that enhances the laid-back yet charged atmosphere. There’s something about the practical effects and set designs that captures that specific era of filmmaking—raw, unpolished, but somehow engaging in its earnestness.

Winner Takes All is a versatile piece that reflects the era's aesthetic and storytelling style. The film has seen limited releases on various formats, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Interest has been growing, particularly for fans of Falcon Studios' work in the early 80s, and original prints can be pretty hard to come by.
