Comments
The movie is billed as "the first pro-am movie in the history of porn". Some of the performers may even be amateurs.
VHS Rear Cover Description:
The "REEL PEOPLE" in this motion picture are real people
They are sexually liberated people who have allow the producers of this film to freely discuss with them their sexual standards, beliefs and principles, and if they feel that this dialogue about their sexual and erotic energy is right, they will have a sexual encounter with a new partner, for the first time, and will permit it to be filmed.
Rember "REEL PEOPLE" you are about to see are not actors, they are real people.
DVD Rear Cover Description:
Reel People is the first Pro-am movie in the history of porn. Rated as one of the greatest 100 adult videos of all time, Reel People is a collectors classic.
Adult Video News says about Reel People: "You can never match the first time. Not only is Reel People the first pro-am production, it's also the first pro-am shot on film!"
IMDb Synopsis:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196897/synopsis?ref_=ttt_ov_pl
This is the first of the amateur film genre in porn. The participants answered an ad in Los Angeles and ended up in a porn movie. First they are interviewed and then they end up being paired with one an 80s porn star for some great sex. This is a true amateur film, especially since one of the participants actually says "No" to the sex.

Fair porn experiment, spawning dire imitations
30 September 2011 | by lor_ (New York, New York)
Anthony Spinelli, who appears on camera to bookend REEL PEOPLE, tried for something different by integrating non-pro talent with porn performers, yielding a "pro-am" film. He inadvertently encouraged perhaps the most pernicious trend in XXX films (and videos), the now dominant amateur, gonzo approach pairing self-appointed auteurs (John Stagliano, Rodney Moore and Jules Jordan the most successful) with pick-up women (and making the role of a director like Spinelli superfluous).
The film is suspect in that the gushy interview material from the amateurs seems fake. Most of them like to talk dirty (Spinelli's big hit TALK DIRTY TO ME must have had something to do with this), and the documentary nature of their participation is suspect. As they hump famous porn talent like John Leslie or Paul Thomas, the issue of "first-timer" becomes moot -either the resulting sex is interesting to watch or it isn't.
Ultimately there are eight sex scenes, counting a brief intro sequence of superstar Aunt Peg (billed misspelled as "Juliette" Anderson here) masturbating during phone sex, prior to her conveniently popping up to service the lesbian fantasy of amateur Kay from Frisco. Kay's "gee-whiz" interview is patently phony, but they do have a sensual love scene together, both wearing attractive black stockings.
Spinelli's "it's all true" sequence featuring redheaded cosmetic salesgirl Lucy also struck me as hokum. She's introduced to John Leslie, whose ad libs are masterful, but when she doesn't feel like having sex and quips "You gonna make me?", I thought the purpose of including this non-starter in the finished film just to show nothing's being staged was self-serving and not credible. My reasoning: if this actually happened as presented, it should have been immediately sent to the cutting room floor, not shown to us.
A nerdy guy named Chuck from Portland certainly looks like a non-pro, but when Spinelli fulfills his fantasy of making it with two young girls, his big dick, sexual prowess and admirable money shot on cue belie the amateur status.
As a knockoff of "Tubular Bells" on the soundtrack ends the movie Spinelli promises a sequel, but instead we got an entire porn industry (from others) beginning if my memory serves with the endless Dirty Debutantes series by Ed Powers and hundreds of "Up and Cummers" videos by Randy West.
