Mercenary Revives <i> Top Guns </i>

Mercenary Pictures has brought back its Top Guns line after a two-year hiatus, and this time with directing newcomer Mario Rossi at the helm along with company owner Lexington Steele.

The first volume of the Top Guns series will be re-released by Mercenary as a Collector's Edition in April. The Top Guns re-release will include two discs, five additional scenes and expanded behind-the-scenes footage.

Top Guns 2, meanwhile, will hit the streets on March 24 featuring Rita Faltoyano, the 2004 AVN Foreign Performer of the Year, and Ava Vincent, the 2002 AVN Best Supporting Actress. Nataly Brown, Nikky Taylor and Simony Diamond complete the female cast, while Brian Pumper, Lauro Giotto, Bob Terminator, Chocky Ice, Kevin Solo, Thomas Stone and Steele also appear.

"We've put together the best talent from around the world and without a doubt, the cast assembled lives up the promise that a series like Top Guns implies," Steele said. "This is what the all-sex genre is all about: performers who do their job well and the end result being hot, amazing sex that others of a lesser caliber could not pull off. These scenes aren't for casual viewers of adult — they're hardcore anal scenes that show off these girls at their best."

Rossi, who has shot many of Steele's scenes in other titles, added that the scene with Faltoyano and Steele was excellent, as well as the Pumper/Vincent pairing.

"They know how to get the best performances from who they're working with and this will be a treat for their fans,” he said.
