Mercenary Pictures has announced that Top Guns 1 and Black Reign 1 will be re-released as collector's editions that are re-edited with more sex scenes and expanded bonus material.
"I like to think we've 'Magnum-ized' Top Guns 1 and Black Reign 1," owner Lexington Steele said. "We'll be giving this treatment to Mercenary's releases from 2003. They're going to be something collectors of adult will want because they've been redone, from the ground up, from the original masters. They've been totally revamped.
"We've included, minimally, five new scenes with each title, bringing the running time to over three hours for 11 scenes, and added to the behind-the-scenes footage, shot by my assistant and IronHead director Tina Tyler, because it's that good."
Black Reign 1, the first of Mercenary's Collector's Editions, is in stores now. Top Guns 1 will be released on April 14.
Steele said there was much demand to bring back Top Guns, prompting the release of Top Guns 2. Steele sees similar success with the collector's edition, which includes the previously unreleased footage, of the first volume.
"The collector's edition of Top Guns 1 is simply better," he said.
Steele added, "These are titles that are very close to me as they began my path of ownership. These collector's editions will include all my productions from the recent past, which serve to complete the Mercenary catalog, and I will deliver these collector's editions above and beyond their previous editions. They will be DVD-only, allowing me to increase the amount of new footage and bonus material."
