Bouncing Balls

Sonny Landham fans will appreciate this photo from AMG. 

Lovely View

Guido says this is Sonny Landham (left) and J.D. Gregg.  Sonny's butt looks incredible! 

This must be after they filmed Cyclist & the Indian together.  

New!

A new (to me) photo of J.D. Gregg and Sonny Landham in the AMG film Cyclist & the Indian.

Third Leg

I don't know who took this photo of Sonny Landham, but it's a good one.  

Lean Back

I found a new photo of Sonny Landham at AMG. 

The Great Outdoors

Two photos from Wyngate & Bevins who were known for filming naked guys in the great outdoors.  I don't know where the top photo is from, but that's Sonny Landham on the right.  You can look him up on that internet movie database, or click on his label below.  

The second photo is from the film Ten Young Nudists At Fun And Games.  Far left, partially obscured by tree branches, is Monte Hansen.  Sam Hunter is on the left in the front row.

WOW!

Sonny Landham by AMG.   

Thanks to Brian for identifying this guy. 

Who's That Guy In The Shower With Sonny?

Does anyone else think the guy on the right is Sonny Landham?  The face, uncut penis and treasure trail all indicate so to me.  I know he did one film for AMG with J.D. Gregg -- but I don't think his shower mate is J.D.  A new mystery.

Sonny Landham -- Part 1 of 4

If the name Sonny Landham rings a bell, you probably saw a couple of his Hollywood movies.  Sonny got his big break playing a Native American called Billy Bear in the hit movie 48 HRS (Walter Hill, 1982).  He also played a Native American named Billy in the high action movie Predator (John McTeirnan, 1987).  

But Sonny's first movie was actually Cyclist & the Indian by AMG in 1968 and the photo below is from that film.  Sonny played the Indian and J.D. Gregg played the cyclist.  In the promo for this film Mizer told us Sonny was twenty-six years old and had Cherokee heritage.  I believe this was his only work at AMG.  

Sonny Landham -- Part 2 of 4

Several sources state Sonny first posed nude for Champion Studios in the 1970s.  Now we know his very first nudes were actually with AMG.  Champion called him Doug Jackson and he had several sessions at that studio.  

A few sources tell us Sonny did a fair amount of straight porn back then.  I'll take their word for it.  

Below are a few of my favorite pics of Sonny from Champion.  

Sonny Landham -- Part 3 of 4

Sonny posed for Playgirl magazine and appeared in the January 1974 issue.  

Sonny Landham -- Part 4 of 4

A couple of photos of Sonny Landham from the Hollywood film Predator (John McTiernan, 1987).  

Sonny developed a reputation while making this film.  He was a heavy drinker and often became "drunk angry" and physically dangerous.  The studio hired a guard who's job was to stay near Sonny.  The guard wasn't there to protect Sonny.  No, the guard was there to protect the rest of the cast and crew from Sonny's rages.  

Years of heavy drinking eventually took its toll on Sonny.  In his 60s he developed some serious problems with his heart and that ended his action hero roles.  In 2016 both of Sonny's legs were amputated due to poor circulation.  Sonny died on 17 August 2017 of congestive heart failure.  He was 76 years old.
