The Last American Virgin

He paid for her abortion and got her a necklace and then she went back to the other guy.

Steve Antin made me realize I liked dudes.

Some of the Israeli references didn't translate, like when he brought her oranges while visiting her in the hospital after the abortion.

Do you mean me?

Actually, OP, The Last American Virgin came at a time when teen flicks with downbeat endings were trendy.

This was the same cinematic climate that created Fast Times At Ridgemont High and The Outsiders, both very popular teen flicks.

Let's not forget that Last American Virgin shared with us the mantastic man candy of Steve Antin, the now openly gay actor and Burlesque director who rivaled William Zabka for the title of "Stifler of the '80s."

Excellent film.

Even Revenge of the Nerds had a poignant ending. But Op is right that most 80s teen sex comedies didn't go for downbeat endings.

Best movie ever

For a teen sex comedy it was well done. Like Valley Girl.

The ending was a punch in the gut.

16 Candles should have had a downbeat, ie, realistic ending.

r12 I never bought that Jake would be into her like that

R13, me neither. I thought it was mean to give quirky girls hope that they could land a hot guy like Jake.

And, anyway, Jake was a senior and heading off to college. Samantha had two more years of high school. How was that going to work?

Simpletons in a focus group could not handle a realistic ending in 16 Candles.

We almost rented a house from Louisa San Moritz, the star of that movie. Later we 'enjoyed' a massive scorching hot sizemeat who told us that he had boned Louisa recently and that he "pittied men who are less endowed than me". Apparently Louisa is a sizemologist.

The ending of that film was REALITY! That’s what made it so painful and real.

I remember watching this movie when I was 12 (on SelecTV!). I wanted to BE Steve Antin’s character and was also very turned on by him. Didn’t know back then that I was gay and I was THRILLED to discover decades later that Antin (the actor) was too.

I was a child when I saw this and remember finding the ending devastating, I rooted for the underdog and was so sensitive. The song Just Once is amazing and was perfect in that final scene.

Yes, we know R17. I bet you read each post praying that nobody posted it so that you could.

I read somewhere that Lawrence Monoson and Steve Antin (both of whom are gay) hooked up during this movie.

[quote]Steve Antin made me realize I liked dudes.

So does he.

As a teen, this movie stood out to me due to Steve Antin's hotness and the unconventional ending. I also thought the female lead should've been a bigger star. The only other 80s movie I remember her in was a dumb John Cusack film.

[Quote] For a teen sex comedy it was well done. Like Valley Girl.

God Tommy was so ugly. And Nic Cage wasn't much better.

Locker room scene

OP's poster pic looks like Grease meets a gay pride parade.

[quote]Mrs. Patrick Campbell /Erna

Diseased pedo Nazi child rapist #metoo cunt fuck

Did Lawrence Monoson or Steve Antin ever do a frontal scene?

Louisa Moritz was one of the first women to accuse Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her in the green room at the Tonight Show. She died in January 2019 after being injured in a fall.

That locker room scene was fap material. I so wanted to be the guy with the ruler.

I had no idea Louisa Moritz had died. Hope the lawsuit against Cosby continues without her.

The original Israeli film had seven sequels.

Laurence Monoson is also gay, and hotter now than he was in the movie.

R32 pic is the actor who is driving solo at the end??

Nice glow up!

R27, no. They showed ass again. Monoson in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and Antin in The Accused

Monoson aged really well. His cute little ass in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter was good jerking material for me as a youngster.

This movie devastated me when I first saw it. I was so used to movies like Sixteen Candles that were uplifting. This one was like a hard punch in the face.

The leading lady, Diane Franklin, was great. She's made a semi-comeback recently with some low budget movies.

I thought the very end of Call Me By Your Name was a tribute to Last American Virgin. Ending with a closeup of the main character's tear stained face while the credits roll. I think there is no question that it was an intentional reference.

😭😢😥😪

Now, that's an ending!

What a fucking slut!

I love this movie. The soundtrack is fantastic.

I really miss sex comedies. I loved that this film and its title made you think it would be a fun sex comedy but the ending really punches you in the gut. But in a way, it shouldn't have been a surprise. Franklin's character never really liked Monoson's in the same way.

Boy should have kicked that slut to the side and sucked that guy cross-eyed.

No wonder both the boys were gay.

Agree that this movie is so good. It also made me fear sex as a child, even though Steve Anton was so hot.

Lawrence Monoson had some really good work done on his face to help him look better now than he looked back then.

He talked about it in an interview, but I can no longer find it.

I always thought Monoson was cute. But he still looks good and fuckable.

Steve Antin was hot as ballz. He was an early boyfriend of David Geffen. He did a movie called Inside Monkey Zetterland which was about his wacky family. His brother in the movie is a hairdresser, and in real life his brother is one as well, and did that reality show on A&E- Blown Out or something like that with Jonathan Antin.

It's interesting in the movie, Steve's character is straight. The ending hints at his homosexuality. Sandra Bernhardt is in it, and he's in her one woman show movie Without You I'm Nothing.

"My little Monkey, swingin' from a tree..."

Wacky family indeed. He transitioned into an openly gay queen and his hair dresser queen of a brother Jonathan is still “straight.” And their sister got famous for her association with the Pussy Cat Dolls.

r37 link show why fish are truly vile and deserve every karmic revenge thing that happens to them!

No one famous was in it.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I rented the original version from Isreal back in the VHS days. I can't remember which was better. I also saw several of the sequels.

[quote]I also thought the female lead should've been a bigger star. The only other 80s movie I remember her in was a dumb John Cusack film.

She was also in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure " , "Amityville II: The Possession" the first sequel and she's from Long Island and grew up not too far from the house and a really funny horror-comedy "TerrorVision".

Was a theater manager and played this for three weeks and you could hear an audible reaction to the ending.

Steve Antin had some of the worst plastic surgery ever.

It had Charlene's flop song on it.

55 replies and no post to the locker room scene? You're slipping, Dlers. I remember just slow playing and pausing the fuck out of this scene as a gayling. The asses are just so beautiful to behold.

R56, did you not see R24?

R57: Nope. R24 is blocked.

I loved when this movie would come on Cinemax in the 80s when I was a kid.

Some highlights:

The wonderful locker room scene, which several posters have already mentioned.

Monoson trying to fuck the prostitute (or to use a 2019 term, "sex worker") and putting his dick in her ass and being told to move up one hole.

All three guys getting crabs from the prostitute. They believe they can get rid of them by soaking in the chlorinated public swimming pool.

Giving "cocaine" (Sweet 'N Low) to the three girls. "This is some really good coke!!'

About a decade ago, I wanted to watch the movie again, but it hadn't yet been released on DVD. I remember looking on eBay and VHS copies were going for $100!

four or five years ago at the CHILLER autograph show they had a reunion and everyone showed up including Louisa except for Antin. He's a big time movie director now so he probably didn't want to mingle with the unwashed masses. Everyone was cool and fun.

[quote] He's a big time movie director now so he probably didn't want to mingle with the unwashed masses. Everyone was cool and fun.

Because he directed 1 awful movie (Burlesque) a decade ago.

[quote]He's a big time movie director now so he probably didn't want to mingle with the unwashed masses.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Hi, Steve!

I thought the original Israeli actor who played Antin's character was hotter, especially in the sequels. Worth checking out.

I love teen sex comedies as well. They were already tame by the late nineties, but now PC culture and the metoo era effectively killed it for good. People forget that all comedies deal with stereotypes and movies like these were equal opportunity offenders.

I remember watching this endlessly as a little gayling and not understanding why the girl wouldn't fall head over heels in love with Gary. He was so sweet and thoughtful and kind, and I thought he was adorable. Antin's character was an asshole. It wasn't until I got a little older that I realized girls (and gay boys) would rather date someone who treats them like shit.

I had a mad crush on Monoson for years. The only other thing he did of note that hasn't been mentioned was a supporting role in the wonderful 1987 film Gaby: A True Story.

About a decade or so ago, the New Beverly in LA had a screening of TLAV and Monoson, Kimmy Robertson, and a few others showed up to do a Q&A afterwards. Monoson looked hot as hell and I was totally plotting how to hit on him afterwards, but he was such an asshole during the Q&A that I was turned off. Still love the movie.

Diane Franklin came to a screening of Amityville II a couple years ago at the New Beverly. She was a lot of fun during the Q&A (which was before the movie), but then she and her friend sat behind us during the screening and talked the entire time, and after her character died, they very noisily got up and left.

R65 Love to read stories like these

Can anyone find a clip of the prostitute scene? I know it shows ass. Also what about the super frau in the cocaine scene! So Steve Antin is gay. The bully in the Brady Bunch movie is gay. Is Biff from back to the future gay? Any other gay actors play bullies in 80 and 90 films?

Monoson really did age well. What is now? Late 50's? He looks fantastic. Cute sometimes ages better than hot.

R67: Screenshot

I always loved those blue briefs and the handkerchief he keeps on his neck in this scene. So cute.

Lawrence Monoson also had a big role in Mask.

Young Steve Antin looks like young Jan-Michael Vincent.

I don't know if Jonathan Segal from Lemon Popsicle is gay in real life but he played the gay lead in an important Israeli film called Drifting. I always thought he was adorable.

R56 Amusing "Rick is here" line when Antin steps up and drops his pants. I keep expecting to hear that the director molested them in that scene or something. Maybe Brian Peck was off stuffing his allegedly huge cock into Antin's pale ass after the scene was over.

Monsoon’s death scene in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter...

r73, Wiki says he dated Amos Guttman, the director of Drifting, but there's no source.

Surprised to learn Louisa died just this past January. Not every actress can claim a featured role in an Academy Award winning Best Picture.

I think this movie played on HBO in the early 1980s and I watched it several times when I was in college. It reminded me of Porky's and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The locker room scene was thrilling to watch because I would have loved to have measured the boners of some of my high school classmates -- and the whole idea of high school boys agreeing to do this is super gay and highly implausible.

Thanks for those stories r65. What did Monoson do during the Q&A to be such an asshole? Very curious. Disappointed to hear he acted that way.

Interesting about Franklin. Maybe she hates Amityville 2?

I thought Steve Antin was so hot. I'm ashamed to admit I used to rewind the rape scene in The Accused so I could get a glimpse of his ass. I know, horrible. But he was gorgeous. Why he got that hideous plastic surgery is a mystery.

I used to love the femme way he screamed "Andy! You GOOONNIEEEE!!!!"

I bet Steve lusted after Josh Brolin on the Goonies set.

Probably.

The first guy I dated after coming out reminded me so much of Steve Antin. Same body, lips and cool confidence. I’m sure it’s why I stayed with him even though we had very little in common. But damn did he satisfy my teen Antin lust!

[quote] Thanks for those stories [R65]. What did Monoson do during the Q&A to be such an asshole? Very curious. Disappointed to hear he acted that way.

Ooh, you're getting me at a disadvantage because it was such a long time ago. I looked it up to see who else was there and saw the screening was actually in 2007. (Franklin's Q&A was not even two years ago, so I remember that much better.)

I can't remember specific things he said, but he had a ridiculing attitude towards the moderator who was interviewing them, and the same sort of attitude towards audience members who would ask him questions. My feeling was- you're a guest at a screening where people have come to basically show you how much they like you or support you. Even if you get asked the dumbest fucking questions in the world, you smile, you act graciously and you answer them to the best of your ability.

I'm actually a filmmaker (I'm not famous) and I have done countless Q&As after screenings of my work all over the world, and you know- after hearing yourself recite the same stale answers to the same questions, it can get a bit monotonous, but I am always appreciative that anyone comes out to see my work, especially in this day and age when specialty cinema attendance is dwindling, and I'm even more so if they stay to listen to what I have to say. And I will stick around and answer questions and sign stuff until the last person is gone (or they kick me out!) And I would never make someone feel like their question was stupid or beneath me. And that's what Monoson did to both the moderator and the audience and it left a really bad taste in my mouth.

[quote] Interesting about Franklin. Maybe she hates Amityville 2?

Oh no, I think if she hated it she wouldn't have bothered to come do the Q&A for it. She was actually quite charming during the Q&A, she just had terrible theater etiquette. : ) What made me laugh was if she wasn't a guest of the theater, she'd have been kicked out because the New Beverly has a zero tolerance policy for people who talk loudly and/or use their phones during a movie.

[quote]Interesting about Franklin. Maybe she hates Amityville 2?

Met her. I'm from Long Island too and we talked about it and how cool it was that she grows up and stars in a movie that takes place so close to home. I have The DVD signed by her.

Forgot to add that the moderator was film director Eli Roth.

That Rick deserved a good hard paddling for his womanizing ways. Get it good and red and let him have a good cry in Daddy's arms.

Thanks r84. This is why I love DL (and also miss IMDB). I get what you're saying about Monoson. Disappointed to hear he behaved that way. He should be grateful for the appreciation fans have for that movie and him. I went to a Q&A for Black Christmas a few years ago and the cast was really appreciative of the film, the fans, the director (who had passed away) and the moderator.

Franklin sounds cool but I would be pissed with her etiquette and would probably tell her off since I don't tolerate people talking during movies LOL

[quote] I went to a Q&A for Black Christmas a few years ago and the cast was really appreciative of the film, the fans, the director (who had passed away) and the moderator.

Are you in LA? I've been to a handful of Black Christmas screenings with cast and crew in LA, both before and after Bob Clark's passing. Just curious if we might have been at the same one. Not that they wouldn't do them in other cities, of course.

[quote] Franklin sounds cool but I would be pissed with her etiquette and would probably tell her off since I don't tolerate people talking during movies LOL

I don't either. We turned around and looked at her a few times, but I think she thought we were fan gawking.

It's funny, when I was looking up the year of the LAV screening, I saw that the New Beverly did another one three years later, but at midnight, and Monoson actually came back to participate. I couldn't tell who the other two people were, and I did not know the moderator, and unfortunately, the video was only 37 seconds long. So maybe he was just in a bad mood the night I saw him, or maybe he needed a little Sally Field/Paramus and decided to bite his tongue and go back.

I live in Toronto r89. It was at the Bloor Cinema (now Hot Docs Cinema). Art Hindle was there.

Nice. Art has come to a couple in LA. So has Olivia Hussey and the composer and I think also the DP. The New Beverly shows it every year in December in a double feature and it always sells out. I used to go every year but they tend to now play it with Silent Night, Deadly Night, and you really can't sit through that too many times.

Impressive, subtle acting with no dialogue by Diane Franklin, Steve Antin and Lawrence Monoson in the final scene.

^Did you miss R37?

[quote] I think this movie played on HBO in the early 1980s and I watched it several times when I was in college.

Yes, this movie was played a lot on HBO during HBO's early days. Other movies that played (a lot) on HBO during early days: "Weird Science," "Coal Miner's Daughter."

Can anyone do the math and figure out how old Antin was when filming TLAV?

1982-1958=24 when it came out.

1982 was a very $pecial year for us in so many ways.... and it had the happiest ending.

On Christmas Eve, at the famous 8709 baths, we met our second husband, a gorgeous blond, horse-hung fishfucker!

[quote]I thought the very end of Call Me By Your Name was a tribute to Last American Virgin. Ending with a closeup of the main character's tear stained face while the credits roll. I think there is no question that it was an intentional reference.

You're very generous. I thought it was just a rip-off of the scene. I hope Luca Guadagnino intended it as homage but if so, he could have mentioned Last American Virgin when people were heaping praise on him for the genius and 'originality' of that scene.

Lawrence Monoson was also in And The Band Played On. And Steve Antin, of course, has long been rumored to be the sperm donor for Jodie Foster's kids.

R91 I attended one of these shortly before Clark's tragic passing the same year the remake came out. John Saxon and Olivia Hussey were also there. It wasn't Silent Night, Deadly Night that played but Silent Night, Bloody Night which no one gave a damn about. I was initially disappointed that Mary Woronov didn't show up for a Q&A but after seeing that film, totally understood why she was a no show.

R98- Really? I’d never heard that.

If they weren’t both so ridiculously red-headed, I’d be more inclined to believe it.

They look like Louis CK spawn!

Oh god, yes. That movie is unwatchable. Back when the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood used to have good programmers and an actual subscriber base, they would have all manner of guests for their films. They showed Hollywood Boulevard and brought Mary Woronov, who was a pisser. She talked all about her career, tore her ex-husband (and director of SN BN) a new one, then practically dared anyone in the audience to take her to Musso & Frank's for a steak and martini.

R93 No

So the 2 lead guys are both gays? Did they ever hooked up during the filming ?

[quote]Did they ever hooked up during the filming ?

Oh fuck.

r94 They also had Conan the Barbarian and The Beastmaster on all the time too which caused comedian Dennis Miller to say HBO stands for "Hey Beastmaster's On."

I had no inkling of the israeli connection. Thx DL will look for that version. That last scene was HARSH.

"Just One of the Guys" also played a lot on HBO in the late '80s/early '90s.

Steve Antin was way out of Lawrence's league back then so I doubt it. My have the tables turned.

[quote][R93] No

Well then why on God’s green earth did you post it again?

R109 it was a photo, not a video you tool

R108 you doubt what?

[quote][R109] it was a photo, not a video you tool

So? All you needed to do was reference the previous post—which actually DISPLAYED the subtle acting you were carrying on about—not post a still of the scene in some vain effort to be cute. In short, you suck.

R112 OMG STFU

Let's not forget the big takeaways of this thread, that it would have been nice to fuck Steve Antin back then, and that attractive people win in life.

Mmm-hmm. Yeah, sure, whatever. Just found out you’re the tired, pathetic Janet Jackson “Jabba” troll. Put you on ignore and saw (scarily) that besides this thread, your every post has been in Janet threads. Seek help, little gayling.

R105 it's a shame Dennis Miller is such a tool these days.

R111, I was replying to R103. It looked like my response was going to post right after his but I guess the thread hadn't loaded all the way

Shut the fuck up, loon.

R48 that fish picked Antin just like you would have, so shut it.

R119 Got that right. I'd have kicked him towards the nearest curb to get on with fucking Antin into the nearest mattress.

I think almost all the principal male cast members were gay.

This movie is probably the most depressing portrayal of an unrequited crush in the history of cinema.

That is the day I get the lemon pops!

I have The Last American Virgin on DVD and have watched it many times. both Antin and Monoson played it pretty butch. I was surprised when I heard Antin was gay years after the movie came out. And this thread was the first time I heard that Monoson was gay. Great movie though.

Monoson's cosmetic surgery made him look worse and less natural.

Like nearly all cosmetic surgery.

[quote] both Antin and Monoson played it pretty butch. I was surprised when I heard Antin was gay years after the movie came out.

That’s not homophobic.

At all.
