Throwback Thursday Remembers Chisled Cop Clint Lockner

I first came across one of the greatest 70's porn stars of all time, Clint Lockner, when I wandered into my local video store back in the eighties in Chicago and picked up one of the Colt Studio collections. Lockner, in the scene "Moving Violations," is joined by the equally packed with star power Mike Davis and Mark Rutter. All were Colt models, so the photo shoots they did for the magazine were supported by short video films. In this sizzling threesome, Lockner ruled the roost, so to speak.

Lockner was playing a motorcycle cop, which wasn't too hard for him to do, seeing as he'd actually been an L.A. police officer for seven years prior to his adult film career. Born in 1943 in Michigan, he became a bit of a firebrand when he left the force. According to Jack Fritscher writing in Drummer in 1980, Lockner left behind a bit of a homophobic frenzy. He was a well-respected and decorated cop, a "cop's cop" and a "man's Man. Well, if this perfect man could also turn out to be a pole-smoking queer and no one knew it, then who else might play for the other team?

Lockner had the swagger and assuredness on screen which he carried from his days as an officer. He was rugged, built, well-defined and (mostly) topped with a masculine confidence that made you want to drop to your knees. His porn stache was the icing on the cake! In the video I rented those many days ago, he chases down Rutter who runs into Davis's cheap, garage apartment. Davis attacks Rutter, but when Lockner sees the gay porn strewn all over Davis's place, he sees the type of guy he's dealing with. His pistol is soon pulled out and the three have one of the most unflinchingly torrid, hedonistic rounds of versatile banging I've ever seen. As in most of his work, Lockner was a top, but not in all.

In another of Colt's films, he's paired with another god among men, Bruno. And while Bruno might swallow a man's tool for a bit and get his backside played with, he pretty much only played in the top bunk. So Lockner bottoms for the dark, hairy, Latin stud, and dear lord, it's so worth the internet search to find these two together!

Most of Lockner's Colt work was in print, a few flicks, and weirdly, a live sex show! His real-life partner at the time Dan Pace, who made such a memorable appearance as a high school coach in Joe Gage's seminal gay film L.A. Tool and Die, conceived of the show which was basically an artistically rendered sex show. They appeared nude, cavorted and "danced" in cop and construction fetish gear, creating a homoerotic headspace for the audience to pleasure themselves to. They displayed authenticity in their fetish gear, and the men lapped it up. As Fritscher wrote, "They exude the reality of authentic men whom you could, and can, meet in a restaurant, on a street, in a gym, or in any male encounter."

Lockner died in California in 1993. he leaves behind a short but impactful legacy, and it's worth your while to track his work down if you're unfamiliar. I still have that old tape, and it's still gooood.
