Wow, I want to play pool at this place. As soon as I hit play on the clip, I started taking screencaps. After about six of them, I realized there was just too much good stuff to capture with stills. Just watch the video (below). It comes from Joy, a 1983 French film being released on DVD next month by Severin Films (the guys who bought Birdemic) for the first time in the U.S.
Adapted for the screen from Joy Laurey’s popular erotic novels, JOY (1983) and JOY AND JOAN (1985) became international sensations in the early ’80s thanks to their daring depiction of sexuality, seductive tone and sensuous settings.
Fittingly, JOY was restored using a print discovered in the screening room of a Paris brothel, while JOY AND JOAN was restored from a print seized in a Marseilles vice raid. JOY boasts an additional 12 minutes of footage, including the complete ‘secret orgy dungeon’ sequence.
Aw, you had me at “Paris brothel,” but ‘Secret Orgy Dungeon’ is my middle name.
(Note: The whole thing is EXTREMELY suggestive, but the only actual nudity is a split second at the 1:57 mark. Proceed accordingly.)
The whole thing is exactly like an Uproxx mixer. Robopanda on the pool table, Chodin wanting to demonstrate his trick shot, Burnsy going on and on about his “greedy sword.” If you watch closely at the 36-second mark, you can even see a cameo from WarmingGlow‘s Matt Ufford. Heckuva dancer.



I’d like to meet a french chick. Maybe she would quit arguing with me when I ask to do anal.
I did a french chick. Hope you like dingle berries.
Well, let’s just say I think she and I will get along just fine then, Morty.
*picks lint out of belly button, puts in jar*
I FUCKING LOVE DING . . . no, wait. No, I do not.
So it’s like ‘Emmanuelle’ without all the good stuff?
Secret orgy dungeons sound like a good idea, I know, but take it from me they are not. First of all, secret and orgy rarely go well together. If the info is on the DL, the only people horny enough to get it are undersexed, flabby man-children who wouldn’t have the savoir-faire to greet a female let alone lure her to a secret orgy dungeon.
So yeah, just like the Uproxx writers.
Burnsy going on and on about his “greedy sword.”
Burnsy [as C-Tate]: Yo girl, my sword is greedy and shit. Greedy fo dat ass.
Girl: *rolls eyes*
Burnsy [Baby Goose personality emerges]: Sorry ma’am, that was disgusting. The only thing I’m greedy for is giving…
Girl: *heart flutters*
Bursny [C-Tate bumrushes Baby Goose and takes back over]: … GIVIN YOU DIS SEED!!
The girl who catches the pool ball is known as “Minnesota Flaps” at the pool hall.
Not quite as sensual as the red pool table scene in Eyes Wide Shut. But then, Tom Cruise nostril fuck probably isn’t on everyone’s bucket list.
In reality, UPROXX mixers have fewer women but way more eight balls.
I kept waiting for Liam Neeson to bust in, looking for his daughter.
What France needs is some sort of community marching band to keep these folks on the righteous path. What’s next? Telling jokes from Captain Billy’s Whizz Bang?
Is that ChaCha DiGregorio on the pool table?
“My sexual Liberty is conditional”
..Like my drivers license.
The soundtrack, available on 8-track, comes with murkin and pinky ring to hold your coke.
