A gay young man, he likes Johnny, but is consistently obsessed with the idea that maybe Johnny isn't going to carry on the deep friendship Eric imagines simply because Johnny is straight. Johnny and Eric get into serious trouble when Steven steals another kid's stash of drugs and money, and he isn't the kind of kid you just say sorry to and then treat to ice cream.
Street hustler homeless gay sex tubes professional#
Steve is like the professional teen hustler, who'll do anything his clients ask as long as he gets paid.
Enter Steve, played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who interestingly enough replaced Balthazar Ghetty in the role (Ghetty plays a similar character in 'Where the Day Takes You' only less dehumanized). And Johnny, though successful at times, still seems like a major amateur.
He also introduces him to the life of hustling, stolen cars, and the like. Namely, Eric (played nicely by Jordan Brower), the kid who helps Johnny out the most when it seem many others won't. Luckily, he befriends a group of street kids. The rest of his things are taken by a horny middle-aged pimp with a penchant for boys in leather collars. Johnny gets robbed of his twenty-bucks worth of quarters from a Casino. If you know incredulous Hollywood movies, then you should already expect Johnny to go through a lot of crap, but some how wind up with a happy ending in the end. Upset with his military father's strict manner of upbringing, and perhaps lack of affection (I don't see how, really, or at least they never make much of Johnny's perceived 'abuses' and 'neglect' evident), he decides to hitchhike his way to North Carolina to be none other than a member of Richard Petty's stock car racing team. The story is that of a recent high school dropout, Johnny, who's Southern accent miraculously comes and go. If you're not looking for a vigorous story of similar circumstances like say, 'Where the Day Takes You,' then Speedway Junky is a good weening toy. I assume that the people that drifter teen Johnny encounter during his stay in Las Vegas would be much more hostile, crazy, and the like. This was a ridiculous version of male hustlers and other assorted homeless teens because it is done in such a clean-cut manner. Happily we are spared from the peek-a-boo nudity that is typical of these films: where the director goes to great lengths to get the actors naked then hide their nudity through awkward posing, clever placement of props, and so on.
Or perhaps the money people took over and made the film by committee? It has that look. Like so many rookie writer- directors, Perry suffers from making the film too "busy" with endless characters, no sense of momentum, and endless clichés. Perhaps, but this film never sets the right tone for such a deeply symbolic conclusion. Perry explains, in his directory's commentary, that the death is an act of love-a sacrifice. Beyond that one gets the sense that we've seen this all before including the obligatory death of the gay character. These two would be worth casting together in another "buddy" feature. Jordan Brower is appealing as Eric and has particularly good chemistry with Jesse Bradford.
