In 1989 Stagliano released "Dance Fire" as the first movie under his own studio, Evil Angel. Several months later he directed the movie that would alter the history of porn: "The Adventures of Buttman." Today it is considered one of the most important adult films. Because of his ass fetish, Stagliano nicknamed himself "Buttman."
