If you ask me who is the most sexually exciting performer in gay porn to come from Eastern Europe, Lucio Maverick would be one of the first to come to mind. So when Michael Lucas convinced this handsome top to bottom for him onscreen, it was porn news of the first degree. It happens in Cruising Budapest III: Lucio Maverick, in the final scene, but by no means should you skip the rest of the film.
    This is the best yet of Lucas' Budapest films because of the extra effort that appears to have been taken to stage, light and film the sex. You have to admire Lucas for being able to get his models to rim each other ravenously, because in most of the home-grown productions you see these models in, tongues seldom get any closer to assholes than is required to suck a cock. Here, there's rimming in every scene, and it's mutual every time but one.
    Another touch used several times is that the models kiss while the top is putting on the condom. It's a nice transition from oral to anal that avoids awkwardness and makes the condom seem natural and simple.
    As usual, you get ass winking, fingering, spitting and toe sucking. Don't get so wrapped up in the final scene that you forget to be impressed by the staircase 69 between Tim Kruger and Flavio Valentino.
    Accompanying Michael Lucas on this trip to Budapest is Ben Andrews, whose appearance in this film is non-sexual. At the place where they are staying, guys are as likely to give each other a passing kiss (with tongue) in the hallway or on the stairs as they are to give each other a passing fuck. That's exactly what happens when Tim Kruger, going up the stairs, meets Flavio Valentino, coming down. They meet halfway, strip and have sex. The thickness of Kruger's cock stretches Flavio's jaw muscles, then his ass. But before Tim fucks Flavio's furry hole, they take turns rimming each other — and there's the gravity-defying 69 mentioned above. Some foot action is thrown into the mix, too.
    Julian Veneziano and Ludovic Canot intersect at the fridge while looking for something to drink. They end up opting for meat rather than a beverage: tongue, cock, some armpit. Ludovic presses Julian's cock against the countertop and licks all around it, then Julian sucks and fucks him. Julian cums in Ludovic's mouth and they share a sticky kiss.
    Lucio Maverick has a scene with Buck Monroe before his anal deflowering occurs. It's a lusty suck, 69, rim and fuck with some footwork. Nearby in the game room, Steve Hunt and Chris Hacker turn a game of chess into a sexual encounter. Hunt, who performs under other names, is always a voracious scene partner and he livens the experience for Hacker by sucking his balls so hard, you think he's trying to swallow them. Hacker is the only top in the film who does not suck or rim, but Hunt is such a dynamo, you almost fail to notice.
    And that brings us to Lucas-Lucio, a scene in which neither man holds anything back. The scene begins with lots of smiling and kissing — even introductions — before the clothes comes off. This may be the most intimate of all of Lucas' onscreen appearances and the most physically committed of Lucio's. It has all the usual Lucas tropes, including the extensive ass play, foot attention, spitting and fucking in many positions, some of them requiring more than usual dexterity or agility. It ends with Lucas cumming in Lucio's mouth, deep kissing him, eating some of Lucio's cum and then cumming again.
    Disc #1 of this 2-DVD set has the five-scene main feature, previews and a Web link. Disc #2 has an hour of interviews and behind-the-scenes.
