SAN FRANCISCO - Amazônia: Release, the second half of the two-part gay porn thriller from Athletic Model Guild Brasil, on Wednesday began shipping domestically via Paladin Video and internationally through COLT Studio Group.
The film, which is currently available to the public only through the AMG Web store, will be available at retail locations worldwide on Dec. 7.
The Amazônia story rotates around a young American, portrayed by late Buckshot Man Danny Roddick, who is captured and held hostage by a band of savage Amazon Indians. Filmed in the topical rainforest outside Rio de Janeiro, the film has an edgy, fast-paced plot that allowed Roddick and costars like AMG Brasil cover man Ricardo Onça to flex their acting - and other - muscles.
"We've put a lot of sweat in our previous tropical productions, but this really is our most ambitious film to date," AMG president Dennis Bell said. "There's so much attention to detail, and we had the hottest and horniest with us on the set. The final orgy sacrifice is a signature trademark of our Suruba [Portuguese for ‘orgy'] line. It's a steaming six-man orgy that really brings the two-disc set to an explosive conclusion."
Amazônia: Capture and Release is the first of AMG Brasil's epic-style features to be released as two separate DVDs. Both films contain hardcore, outdoor action, group scenes and interracial sex. Roddick stars alongside a group of 16 Brazilians, many of whom have graced previous AMG Brasil box covers. DVD extras include model galleries, XXX trailers and DVD commentary by Bell, Christopher Trout and Roddick.
"Amazonia: Capture has quickly topped the JRL charts and has been a great seller for us since it launched last month," Bell said. "We're sure with the full story on both discs now available, we won't be able to keep it on the shelves."
