Watching the original trailer for Raging Stallion's latest movie, "To The Last Man," one quickly realizes this isn't your typical adult flick. In fact, the line between gay porn and violent b-movie Western (complete with murder and rape) is purposefully blurred, creating, Raging Stallion hopes, an adult movie unlike any we've ever seen.
But such a move raises questions about whether or not mixing sex and violence is such a good idea. Some people who have seen the trailer or read about (but not yet seen) the movie have flooded producer Chris Ward's e-mail with concerns, criticism and even insult.
"Evidently, 'To The Last Man' is not a politically correct film," Ward wrote on his blog in response to the controversy. "It is true that 'To The Last Man' is a very violent movie. It is a Western epic, as true to a Hollywood blockbuster as gay porn will ever be. Ben Leon, Tony Dimarco, and I decided that we wanted to make a real Western movie--not some cheesy porno rip-off as has been made in the past. ... The Old West was a very violent place--on the ranch where the movie was filmed, there was a graveyard with a memorial to everyone who had died on the property.
"Today Hollywood films are rife with violence--it is part of modern entertainment. 'To The Last Man' looks to the examples of the Coen Brothers and Tarantino. It's not a porn movie from the 1990s nor is it Little Miss Sunshine. It’s a film for the 21st century and it reflects the entertainment values of 2008."
Ward admits uniting sex and violence is a sensitive issue. For this reason the an extra disc is being shipped with the DVD offering an "all sex / no violence edit." This means no killing and no rape. Just hardcore action.
"In short, 'To The Last Man' can be enjoyed by viewers who like violence and by viewers who are repulsed by it," Ward added.
