Hot Rackets (1979)

It Takes Balls to Play Singles or Doubles!

Starring the beautiful Candida Royalle, Rhonda Jo Petty, Desiree Cousteau, Turk Lyon & Cris Cassidy

Is it true that tennis players do it with deeper strokes? You'll find the answer in Hot Rackets, the most fascinating, expensively made, and surely the most delightful motion picture ever made for a sex-loving, fun-loving audience. Herb and Liz Adler, an indecently rich couple, are members of an exclusive tennis club whose members indulge themselves in more than a workout on the courts. We learn that the club is totally dedicated to providing for the sexual needs and fulfilling the sexual fantasies of its members.

Interview: Rhonda Jo Petty

Rhonda Jo Petty, "The Farrah Fawcett" of Porn?

CAV: You rose to fame as "The Farrah Fawcett" of porn. Did you ever meet Farrah?

RJ: No, but I've gotten letters from her. I don't think she likes me.

CAV: She actually took the time to write you?

RJ: Oh, sure. She threatened to sue me for that first movie, "Little Orphan Dusty".

CAV: How could she sue? All the publicity said was that you were a Farrah look-alike.

RJ: They were using her name. So she threatened litigation, but it never got to court. I think the smartest thing she ever did was not sue them. When Cheryl Ladd sued "Taxi Girls", they had to take her name off the poster.

CAV: And "Dusty" was a big hit and got your name and Farrah's on a lot of marquees... But the truth is that you don't look anything like Farrah.

RJ: No, I don't. I never thought I did. But my hair was real long back then and that hairdo was "in" and the gimmick worked. Do you realize that was almost ten years ago!

CAV: You started out as a magazine model...

RJ: I did a lot of bookstore work at first. Hardcore. Then I got into "Velvet" and "Hustler". Hustler started the whole Farrah look-alike business. They shot me looking like Farrah - but she was suing them over a dirty

To make a good sex film you need a good premise, one that gives the characters in the story a reason for full-tilt fucking. Some of the more familiar devices are: aphrodisiacs, hypnotism, 'magic' talismans that make the wear unbearably horny, sex machines, nymphomania - these are a few of the reasons characters may have jumping into bed and going at it hammer and tongs.

These gimmicks are useful because the performers can pull out all the stops in the sex scenes. If, on the other hand, the set-up has built-in conflict - if, for instance, the guy is trying to bed a woman who is unwilling, angry, or indifferent - the players can't really bust loose.

SWEET DREAMS, SUZAN, with Rhonda Jo Petty in the title role, has a premise that lets everyone in the picture get down as deep and dirty as they want. The sex scenes are dreamed by the leading lady, and as dream characters the performers are not bound by reality. They do what they want, with the result that the sex in this film is intense and the involvement appears genuine.

Rhonda Jo Petty

Growing up in San Fernando Valley, the Porn Capital of the world, with parents who were very open about and appreciative of all the wonders and joys of sex, it is no wonder that Rhonda Jo Petty became the 70’s Porn Diva she did. With her strawberry blonde feathery hair, striking good looks, long legs, and curvaceously sculpted figure, this disco queen always delivered a steamy, arousing performance.

She never quite made the big times though, as most of her roles were in B films that never quite made it to the top of the charts. Nevertheless, Rhonda Jo Petty lit up the screen with her disco lights in films such as Baby Cakes, Casanova 2, California Girls, and Sex Rink.
