Plot

Tony Stefano finds Steve Henson and Mike Raymond breaking into his apartment. After he deals with them, Tony then goes to his bed and then fantasizes a male-to-male threesome scene. Meanwhile, Mark Miller, Christopher Lance, Bill Joseph, and Kevin Luken are engaging an orgy on the roof of the apartment building. In the next scenario, Mike Raymond voyeurs at Tom Brock by the window and they then engage each other. In the last scenario, Jim Pulver and Jeff Quinn hook each other up in an empty subway car.[2] The film ends with Tom Brock entering the subway and the following text: "The non-stop excitement continues.... [with Tom Brock ...going all the way][note 1] in the next Matt Sterling film, coming February 1986".[5]

Scenes[2]

Reception

Keeneye Reeves rated this film three out of four stars, called it a "hot 'n sleazy pre-condom fun that's worth seeing twice", and praised the sex scenes, yet Reeves criticized the runtime as "short" and ending as "hokey".[1][6]

The reviewer from Rad Video rated this movie four out of five stars and praised its sex scenes and male bodies but found its runtime too short.[7] Mark Adnum from Outrate called this film "a masterpiece of gay porn packed with great sex and hot guys".[8] Both reviewers found its ending a tease to an upcoming sequel that never happened.[7][8]

In the book The Culture of Queers (2002), Richard Dyon called the subway scene a blend of "realism and 'classical cinema'".[5] Dyon observed: the production setting of "the interior of subway carriage" appeared "clean" and less gritty than the actual interior of the subway,[9] as the graffiti were "too legible and too appropriate to be true."[5] Nevertheless, he found sex performances of two men sexy, titillating, well shot and edited,[9] and well-done signals of "abandonment and sexual hunger" as part of realism of anonymous sex.[10]

Director Matt Sterling picked two scenes of this film as his favorites for the compilation of Matt Sterling's accomplishments, Best of All: the window voyeurism scene of Tom Brock and Mike Raymond, and the subway scene of Jim Pulver and Jeff Quinn.[11]

In 1986, Inch by Inch won two Gay Producers Association Awards for the Best Video and Best Newcomer (Nick Eliot)[2] and one Adam Film World award for the Gay Movie of the Year.[1]
