Rumors have been circulating that ’80s teen movie stars Christian Slater and Molly Ringwald will be starring in a mainstream Hollywood biographical film about the infamous late Cobra Video founder Bryan Kocis. Slater and Ringwald are said to be playing Kocis and his sister, respectively. James Franco is also rumored to be part of the cast.
Even everyday people who don’t watch porn love a good adult industry scandal. Kocis was the subject of more than one. Porn fans with a keen memory for salacious behind-the-scenes drama will surely remember Kocis for two things. The first was the scandal involving twink superstar Brent Corrigan, who was found to be… shall we say, not legally eligible for participation in the adult industry. By ordinary standards that would be the most shocking piece of anyone’s porn legacy, but Kocis was far from ordinary. In 2007, two men murdered Kocis and set fire to his house in 2007. Kocis’ computer was salvaged from the fire and evidence on it pointed to the two killers.
A former medical photographer, Kocis founded Cobra Video in 2001 and directed all content under the name Bryan Phillips. The studio quickly became known for condom-free fucking starring its Cobraboyz: beautiful, smooth young hotties who were between 18 and 23 years old. Cobra’s slogan and raison d’être was “Capturing the Erotic Essence of Youth.” Before Cobra came along, major porn studios didn’t really do twink bareback. Cobra initially focused on amateur talent in early titles such as Campus Boyz 3, but casting Corrigan turned out to be one of the most pivotal moments for Kocis and Cobra Video alike.
Corrigan was one of Bryan Kocis’ greatest muses. Kocis began casting him in productions in 2004 and right away, Corrigan’s star quality was evident. The Brent Corrigan Sex Tapes compiles must-see, previously unreleased scenes from the Cobra vaults in which you can see exactly what made young Corrigan the It Boy of his day. The major highlight is the threeway suck and fuck, also starring Jarod Steel and Josh Hart.
You can watch a selection of scenes from Corrigan’s greatest hits in Brent Corrigan: Beautiful Boy, but we can wholeheartedly (or should that be wholecockedly?) recommend watching all the movies it compiles in their entirety. Take It Like a Bad Boy is a twink fantasy starring five of Cobra’s hottest Cobraboyz. Named Best Overall Movie—Gay at our own VOD Awards in 2007, Fuck Me Raw is an enduring fan favorite and a classic of the bareback twink niche. Released in 2006, Cream BBoys has remained a favorite for those who love Brent at his twinky best.
Cobra ceased production with the death of Bryan Kocis, but it will always be legendary for bringing us outrageously hot porn starring the likes of Corrigan, Brent Everett, and many other sexy Cobraboyz. We can hardly wait to watch Hollywood’s telling of his story.
