Can you picture being a little kid in school and the teacher asking you, "Johnny, what do you want to be when you grow up?" And you blurt out, "a buttman!"

"Teach, I want to shoot ladies' butt holes and make the hottest ass videos and compilation tapes going." Well, if you were John Stagliano making that statement, you'd have exceeded all expectations.

In Best of Buttman, Stagliano provides a humorous and insightful assman's view of the scenes out of Adventures of Buttman, Bendover Babes, Gang Bangs II and some of his earlier, pre-Evil Angel Videos.

It's a rare treat to see anyone in this business get as excited over his product as does Stagliano in this tape. You could say his enthusiasm gets the better part of him as he turns into comedian Richard Lewis right before your very eyes with manic gestures, wild arm waving, and stutter-start reflections. And all over asses. It's wild. At one point Stag apologizes for his exuberance: "I'm sorry these scenes run so long, but with this one (the Trixie Tyler episode in Venice Beach) I shot two hours worth of footage, I had to show it to you... oh my god, what an ass; and you gotta see this one..." Just like a kid showing off his baseball kids.

Besides 25 of some of the hottest hardcore scenes you'll ever witness, the S man offers great little anecdotes about the girls who appear in these scenes. Kathleen Gentry: "she could bend over better than any girl I ever saw —but I never got anywhere with her in my personal life;" Tracey Adams: "her round ass inspired me to become Buttman;" Belladonna: "she's got the kind of ass I dream about." And there's a whole lot more including Adams' scene in Buttman which won her the first AVN award ever given for a tease performance and you'll see why. Then Angela Summers shows up for the finale and does a sort of shot-for-this-tape recreation of the scene. "You have a truly exceptional ass," Stagliano tells her, as if that's news to anyone.

I'd rate Best of Buttman as possibly the best compilation tape ever put out in this industry. I know that's a broad statement, but I haven't seen anything an enjoyable, entertaining or loaded with material of this sexual magnitude. If you're not a died-in-the-wool ass man already, this tape may convert you.
