If prostitution is illegal in the US, but production of pornography legal, couldn't johns/punters just offer prostitutes money for filming a pornographic movie instead of money in exchange of sex?

At least in the US, trying to evade one law (prostitution) by complying with another set of laws (porn film production) gets very complicated, very quickly and is a simply unrealistic endeavor. Laws are written with loopholes in mind, and even if there was an obvious loophole as you imagine, it could be closed rather quickly.

To be more specific, any porn film production of any size is very heavily regulated at the state and federal level, and your legal liability in shooting even a simple, one off film without permits, insurance, taxes, etc., is much greater than the relatively simple simple prostitute/john situation. Google "porn film regulations" to get an idea of the differences.
