Max Hardcore

Mr. Hardcore's films are considered by many to be highly obscene --more so than most commercially availably pornography. Some say that his works are misogynistic. In some of his films, usually only available to the European market, he urinates in the mouths of the actresses. Graphic anal sex predominates over vaginal intercourse in his films, and anal to oral activity is common. One unique feature of his films is a setup where he inserts a test-tube shaped cylinder in a woman's anus. A long plastic tube connects the cylinder to her mouth. Hardcore then urinates in the cylinder while the woman sucks the urine out into her mouth through the tube.Other films involve deep throatinging and vomiting. The Romans referred to this act as irrumatio. Sometimes, Hardcore draws lipstick across the mouth and face of the actress in a careless and grotesque manner. Infrequenty, he slaps the face of an actress with somewhat mild force for dramatic effect.

The plots of Hardcore's videos usually involve him deriding the young women, calling them sluts and whores, and often involves him "tricking" them into performing with the promise of a modeling contract or by playing to their vanity. He not only physically humiliates them, he makes them revel in their worthlessness as people.

Hardcore, who often appears wearing nothing but socks and his signature cowboy hat, is almost always the only male actor in his films. The actresses who appear in his films are almost always dressed in very bright and colorful child-like clothing and sport pigtails. Most of the sex scenes take place upon a bright yellow leather couch.

Most of his films involve women who dress and act as young girls. Although he often depicts this actresses as young and sometimes below the minimum legal age of 18, they are not actually so. In one of his films, an actress over the age of 18 stated that she was 12 years age. This prompted the United States government to bring charges of child pornography against Hardcore which resulted in indictment. However, before the case was brought to trial the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the statute prohibiting adults from portraying children in films and books was unconstitutional (See Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition [1]). Based on this ruling the child pornography charges against Hardcore were dismissed. The city of Los Angeles then charged him with distribution of obscenity, however these charges were dismissed after a jury failed to reach a verdict. An additional obscenity charge was subsequently levied against him by L.A., again resulting in a hung jury. The government has since ceased prosecuting him. Hardcore commented that "it was a frivolous waste of public resources."

Some of his other names include Max Steiner, Rex Reamer, Video Paul, Paul Little, and Sam Smythe.
