Barely Legal (or Hustler's Barely Legal) is a series of porn films focused on teen girls published by Hustler Video. It is inspired by the magazine of the same name - early releases carried the tagline "Starring the girls from America's favorite magazine". In 2011 a Hustler Video representative stated that Barely Legal was their #1 seller.[1] The series was created by Clive McLean in 1999. Clive was already working as a photographer for Barely Legal Magzine. The series has released hundreds of videos to this day. Most Barely Legal video releases are in an vignette format, with a handful of narratively disconnected scenes. Early Barely Legal releases open each scene with some narration from one of the girls in the scene, reading a letter to the Barely Legal magazine where she recounts an early sexual experience.

Types of Releases

The Barely Legal series has accumulated a lot of releases over its 25 year run. From the earliest days, starting with Barely Legal: On Vacation in 2000, there have been spinoff releases. These are releases that retain the Barely Legal name and title treatment, but is outside the main numbered series. Most of the spinoff releases are lead by directors who do not direct the main series, though some (like B. Skow and Matti Klatt) directed spinoffs before "graduating" to the main series. Some of the spinoffs have turned into mini-series of their own, like Barely Legal Innocence, Barely Legal Corrupted, and Barely Legal POV each with more than 10 releases.

In addition, Hustler Video will at times put out a compilation of scenes from different Barely Legal releases, often centered on a theme, like Latinas, or Pigtails. These have been put out under various names, such as Barely Legal Classics, Best of Barely Legal and Barely Legal All Stars - although some compilations have no special title, like Barely Legal: Boobs.

Directoral Changes

The early Barely Legal series was very strongly associated with Clive McLean. He wrote and directed the majority of the scenes in the series, and his name often appeared on the cover of video releases. Clive McLean died in 2005[2]. After his passing his widow Erica McLean directed several Barely Legal releases. Such was Clive's influence on the series that Erica's first Barely Legal bore the tagline "In the spirit of Clive McLean". Erica had been involved since the beginning of the series, being credited for Make-Up and Styling on the first videos, and producer on later entries. The first release with Erica's name on the cover was Barely Legal 53 in November 2005. She directed the numbered entries until number 57, when Andre Madness took over from 58 til 67. Erica resumed directing duties - She directed the numbered Barely Legal releases from 68 until 94. The last Barely Legal release directed by Erica McLean was the spinoff Barely Legal: Girlz Rule released in March 2010.

Matti Klatt directed Barely Legal 95 til 108. Matti had previously directed many spinoffs in the series. Otto Bauer directed Barely Legal 109 til 153. From 2018s Barely Legal 158: My First Black Cock until Barely Legal 187: My Sister's Boyfriend in 2022 the main director of the Barely Legal series was B. Skow. Since Barely Legal 188: Naughty Sweethearts the main director of the series has Been David Lord.
