How to order

Brad Patton is an almost comically perfect fantasy figure-- a blond, buffed, clean-featured Aryan lad who'd blend right in with the Omega fraternity in National Lampoon's Animal House. In Falcon's military-themed The Recruits, Patton faces a basic-training exercise that boils down to a contest between him and Private Cade Devlin. This pair is turned loose in woods where they're supposed to apply their survival skills to avoid being caught-- or, if captured, to withhold information. As older, wiser Gus Mattox explains to Devlin, "The test is not about avoiding capture, it's about surviving once you are captured." He warns that the Special Operations crew conducting the exercise employs "intense and off-the-record" interrogation methods. "I can assure you," he adds, invoking Abu Ghraib for viewers who haven't been living under a rock, "you won't be wearing any clothes."

In this B-plus video marred somewhat by substandard sound recording, Patton appears in two of four sex scenes. Nabbed and thrown in the brig, he turns the tables on captors Matthew Rush and Joe Sport. His fans will be sorry to learn that the mountainously muscular Rush spends part of this scene unconscious, and never quite goes one-on-one with Private Patton-- but the sequence is still fairly hot. Sergeant Breck Stewart, who watches on closed-circuit TV, is unequivocally impressed, and reserves the privilege of a sexual twosome with the well-endowed Patton for himself. Meanwhile Devlin, an enthusiastic bottom who spurts copiously while Mattox fucks him in the opening scene, is reunited with Mattox after he's captured; they're joined by five other guys in an over-the-top orgy. One of the more active participants is the currently ubiquitous Tag Adams, appearing as Chet Roberts, the name he uses at Falcon Studios. Adams has described the Roberts persona as "the softer side of Tag Adams," but you'd never know it from the way he goes leaping back and forth between Alex LeMonde and Mattox, ecstatically skewering himself on their upthrust cocks.
