Kerr Avon - Sex as a Weapon

[LongLiveHumour]

The Kerr Avon school of survival: if it's vaguely female and trying to kill you, kiss it.

[MrHorrorFan]

I don't know if chivalry is dead, but Avon certainly made it cough up blood...

[ZZTopRockman]

Avon, my house is open 24 hours a day for you, and so is my body ;)

[BuhoLoco40]

I've never seen this show, but this dude seems badass enough to make me watch. Wow.

[crycraven]

@BuhoLoco40 - Wow! What a compliment. Avon is a badass, if a slightly hilarious one as time goes on) but if you like a bit of British scifi circa 1980 then I think Blake's 7 deserves a watch. I'm so pleased my silly vid of Avon's makes you want to watch. xx

[Allronix]

@BuhoLoco40 The show's got duct tape sets, a special effects budget on par with a junior high theater department, it's DEFINITELY British, has the king of downer endings, and the fact it was made in the late 70's/early 80's really shows. However, Servalan is possibly the most genre savvy evil overlord ever to strut across a screen, and Avon's dialogue could qualify as a lethal weapon.

[UFOBevy]

I take it you are a women?

Men could see through Avon and see Blake as the real man,

Avon was a snake

[LongLiveHumour]

I like snakes.

[UFOBevy]

LOL, well that is fair enough then ;)

[Allronix]

@UFOBevy Avon was a snake...so was Servalan. They heartily deserved each other.

[TVwriter23]

@UFOBevy Actually Blake wasn't all that great. Even Gareth Thomas said he was a pratt. How as Blake a real man? Because he was gung ho. Blake was all about revenge. The problem with Blake was that he never thought thinks through. While Avon wasn't perfect he actually was a great leader. He was a way better strategist. Blake over worked his crew to the point of exhaustion etc. Avon never left a crew member behind.

[lemonjapp]

He's still my no 1 - 30 years later...

[themadblonde]

Bloody BRILLIANT! Excellent work & excellent choices. I am VIVIDLY reminded of why I had such a mad crush on the man. *shiver* *that look* still makes my knees weak.

[crycraven]

*dances* I am SO happy that you like it! It tooke me so long with the crappy software I had, and was a real tiral. But OH AVON AVON! And I have to laugh every time I watch him get hit on the head...

[crycraven]

And I am having trouble spelling by the look of it! That's what happens when you dance and type at the same time...

[stashyjon]

superb bit of work

[crycraven]

*bows* Many thanks xx

[suexilin]

I love what you've done with the takes and this song!!! I fell in love with Avon when I was about 10, and now, after 20-something years, i still get goose bumps when he looks at the camera and puts this slight smile he has.... wow.

[crycraven]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it, it was a labour of Avon-love. Sigh.

Always happy to hear from fellow lovers! x

[SPeacock]

Avon's look at 1:48 and 1:49 gives me the chills.

[crycraven]

Wow! I didn't know you could do that - and yes, that look is pretty intense! x

[soldoutnradical]

I am from Canada and this is thew first time I say this character. You did a very good video matching this personal to the music!

"Innuendo" by Queen (Blake)

"It's Gonna Get Better" by Genesis (Vila)

"Just a Job to Do" by Genesis (Soolin)

"Resurrection" by Brian May (Tarrant)

[gawdblesshim]

Brilliant. Gotta love The Darrow.

[crycraven]

Hello *hugs you*

I was you and Scifiassassin that made me want to learn to do this! I'm so glad you liked it. Oh, The Darrow...

x

[ayrton2691]

Avon really knew how to manhandle his women.Nice song!

[crycraven]

Hee! Thanks. *bows*

x

[B7kalinda001]

Great job.

[typefourty]

Hmm, wonder if you could do one to that George Micheal Song?

[crycraven]

What do you mean? Which song?

*Gasp*

You can't mean 'Orbit' recut to 'Let's go outside', can you...that would be so so sad and tragic! *hugs vila*

x

[fenlings]

Stop making me feel all conflicty about sexy misogyny! That would be, you know, a socially useful thing to do...

Obviously I need to keep watching past the first season for this deliciousness.

[crycraven]

*Grin* I can only cut what is there...but for the record, I don't think of Kerr 'grab you soon as look at you' Avon as mysogynist - I think he was just bloody dangerous to everyone!

I am SO jealous of you having the rest to watch for the first time. I hope I haven't cut any spoilers in!

x

[eyeheartdrwho]

wow :O I'm only just getting in to Blake's7 really recently. But from quick remark number 1 i thought that Avon had a certain something

*giggles* :D

looking forward to number 2 xx

[crycraven]

Hmm...I wrote you a reply but it seems to have disappeared, so apologies if I am repeating myself. Basically - WELCOME! Come and join the active fandom on LiveJournal, and read the wonderful fics in the Hermit B7 library and 'Hip Deep in Heroes' newer archive.

[eyeheartdrwho]

thnx! Avon is just so pretty <3

[crycraven]

Thanks Blakespace. I am getting number two underway! Glad you like the Avon eyelove xx

[blakesspace]

Wonderful video. Avon is always so nice to look at. ;-)

[crycraven]

Oh he is so lovely my eyes were burnt cutting this together!

x

[BirgitMunro]

Last comment posted without me pressing button. Oh well.

Paul Darrow is just the sexiest man alive & he can come round to my place & do ANYTHING he wants!!!! Avon was just the best character & all my female colleagues hung out desperately for Thurs nites to get our fix. Thanx for the images, but not the soundtrack.

[BirgitMunro]

Oh Yes Yes Yes! Paul Darrow can come round & do ANYTHING

[teabagteasdale]

No, really: Avon...STOP USING SEX AS A WEAPON! Great video courtesy of the Hobbit Hole and I don't even mind that this song is stuck in my head forever now. When is the next one, please thank you?

[crycraven]

Next project starting this evening. Having this song in your head is a Good Thing (TM) because it's brilliant. As is Avon. Thigh-high boots and all.

xxxxxxxxxxx

[crycraven]

YES! That'd work well. Her fight with Caveman Jarvik was pretty cringe, though...

x

[Kavanaugh]

Oh, lovely! Avon was by *far* the best thing about that show, though I did love it all. He's so theatrical. hee. And rather pretty, too ... great video!

[crycraven]

Thank you. It was a labour of slighty-mocky love and lust. Avon's pretty deserves to be shared! x

[PopcornOracle]

Ahaha, nice job.

Out of context so much of this cracks me up. In context it's still funny, but the sheer number of times Avon grabs people violently, and how you put them in sequence was rather hilarious.

Pretty much anytime Avon kisses someone on the show I cringe, but it was bearable in this video, so good work there ^^;. And it's true, Avon does do that!

80's music so works for him, too.

[crycraven]

Poor Avon, never got a proper kiss. Except from Dayna, and he was unconscious!

*mutter* I'd help him that...

x

[crycraven]

Cheers! I like a bit of Benetar. Love is a Battlefield would have worked...ohhh! For BSG too! x

[SciFiAssasin]

Very good! Never heard this song before. Works really well.

Nice choice of shots, you've clearly spent a lot of time on it.

[crycraven]

I spent WEEKS AND WEEKS! Movie maker crashing every five minutes didn't help. I now have Vegas, hooray! Thanks for the approval - yours and Gawdblesshim's vids were the inspiration. Uploading it put the sync out, just a fraction of a second but it's there *sigh*...ah well, onto the next one! xxx

[tizzybarnes]

wow, he can use it on me any day!!!

thanks that was great

XXX

[crycraven]

Me too, Tizzy. Me too... *grin*

[SciFiAssasin]

Going through the episodes to find the clips is a pain. Ripping the DVDs is the worst. The B7 & Monty Python one I did HAD to have clips from every episode. Dunno why but it did. Had to have a break for a few weeks. Really tedious. It's the only thing that stops me from doing more and more dodgy music videos.

[crycraven]

Please do more! Please! Please! x

[pongos30]

A triumph!!!,bleary eyes all worth it. I love the exploding root vegetable xxxx

[crycraven]

YAY! So nice, Pongos30! xxx

[VanielDonovan]

This is both hilarious and marvelous. Avon is such a bastard. And how I love him!

[crycraven]

Me too me too me too *hugs him so hard so he can't get me!*
