REVIEW

Episode two of Max Hardcore's latest line "Planet Max".  Planet Max replaces "Max World".  Once a series reaches its 20th episode, Max retires it.  However, the formula, pretty much remains the same across product lines.  As in all Max Hardcore movies, the main emphasis is on hard anal sex.  

SCENE ONE "Ripped to Shreds in Atlantic City"
Julianna Sterling & Max

The first sex scene pairs Max with Julianna Sterling.  This is the first time I've seen Julianna in a Max Hardcore film.  She's a brunette with long skinny legs.  She looks along the lines of Julia Roberts.  The scene takes place in Atlantic City while Max is in town for the East Coast Video Show.  Immediately before we are introduced to Julianna there are Max style rapid fire travel flashbacks, the highlight of which was a girl who asked him to autograph her butt cheeks and Jade Marcela looking into the camera and saying "Fuck My Ass."  Max rides down the boardwalk in a cart with Julianna back to his hotel. Julianna is wearing a pink half shirt and jean shorts.

Once they are back at the hotel, the action begins quickly.  Max bends Julianna over the tub and begins having straight sex with her.  After a minute or so, the scene cuts to anal in the reverse cowgirl position.  Max is sitting on the edge of the tub.  Max's cock is in her ass, but at first it is difficult to see unless you look real hard.  The lighting and picture quality of this scene is only fair, probably due to the fact that it was shot on the road.  During this part of the scene, Julianna keeps her shirt on.  Julianna hops off Max's pole and gets on her knees to taste Max's penis.  This was the only A2M in the scene.  The action moves to the sofa where  Julianna sucks Max's cock.  Her head is upside down and hanging off the cushion.  She takes Max all the way down her throat.  This results in a modest amount of drool and the BJ gets messy. Next we see some more reverse cowgirl anal fucking on the sofa.  Julianna is fairly tall and her feet remain on the floor as she pumps Max's dick.  During the scene she talks, but has nothing imaginative to say. She seems unable to engage in talk during sex.   During this part of the scene, Max spreads her pussy open very wide while penetrating her butthole.  Max then takes it out of her ass and puts his dick in her pussy briefly and then back in her butt again.  Max gets out a silver bullet dildo and DPs her with the toy.  Max gapes her ass, but I didn't think it looked very enticing.  Next Max lubes her pussy and Julianna fingers herself, eventually using four fingers.  Then Max gets a good look at her holes by stretching them to their limit.  Next, up is some cowgirl pussy fucking which is soon converted to anal cowgirl fucking.  Max removes his dick and tries to gape Julianna.  More reverse cowgirl anal, but this time Julianna's legs are up in the air in a diamond formation.  The viewer can see she is wearing some slutty looking black & clear hi heel shoes and she looks pretty hot like this.  More upside down head BJ action, but with her legs in that diamond formation.  The scene comes to a close by Max jacking off inside her open mouth.  Globs of cum roll down her cheek.  She plays with the goo and mixes it with her saliva. 

This scene didn't seem to generate much heat.  By Max standards, the action was fairly tame and Julianna didn't seem too involved in what was going on.  It also seemed like all roads kept leading back to reverse cowgirl anal.  At least it looked a little interesting when her legs were forming a diamond. When other positions were used, they were short. And, as mentioned above, the technical quality was only fair.  Hopefully the DVD version will be an improvement in this regard.

Snowman scene grade: B, Raincoat Points: 44

SCENE TWO   (Snowman's Pick for Best Scene!)
Leanni Lei and Max - "Reamed on Roller Skates"   

As this scene starts, Leanni is putting on her roller skates outside in a public park.  She's wearing a knitted, tight yellow half top and jean shorts and a school backpack.  Her hair is in pigtails.  Unlike some of Max's girls made up to look young, Leanni always looks extremely cute like this.  Max spies her and convinces her that she needs a "teacher".  He even gives her a sweet kiss when they are sitting under a big tree.   

Cut to Max's backyard patio.  Leanni is standing up, bent over a table and Max is fucking her ass from behind!  It's quite an abrupt (but not necessarily unwelcome) shift.  If you are looking for foreplay and a climatic build up, you better look elsewhere!  All of Leanni's clothes remain on, and Max simply pulls her shorts over to gain access to her anus which looks well greased up.  As Max pumps her asshole, Leanni flashes an incredible smile that is worth a million dollars.  She doesn't seem to mind a stiff cock up her ass at all.  Top notch camera work captures the anal action with all the right angles, letting the viewer see Max's cock moving in and out of her tiny butt and her cute as a button face at the same time.  A good mix of close ups (including some gape) and facial expressions.  Max pulls out and Leanni appears to perform A2M but the angle changes so it might be faked.  The BJ action is short, and once again Max goes to work on Leanni's ass.  There's a (too) short reverse cowgirl sequence and then another (too) short standing and/or sideways anal sequence using a table.  Her shorts are gone, but her roller skates remain (she never takes them off the entire scene).

Max pops up with a big dildo at this point.  It's purple and has ridges on it.  He shoves it up Leanni's box while he is inside her ass.  Next, he decides to take a time out and use the dildo to fuck her rectum.  Surprising, the Asian fuck bunny's ass can accommodate the big toy, and she takes the ridged portion nearly all the way.  Max wants her anus to swallow the last ridge too, and tries to push it in further, but Leanni auditable tells him "no" and pulls it back.  That was a tad disappointing, but it is still impressive.  Then it is time for more anal sex, now in the sideways position.  Max fingers her neat and trim pussy while rocking her ass.  More anal sex on her back, and her pussy is spread wide with two hands.  The action cuts to Leanni sitting on Max's lap, and the old man jams two fingers up her violated butthole.  This develops into reverse anal cowgirl style and Leanni bounces with great determination.  

While all this buttfucking is going on, Max and Leanni engage in the usual Max style dialog about what a young, nasty girl she is, but Leanni plays the part better than most and is more engaging.  Hottie Leanni is seen next getting fucked up the ass in the cowgirl position facing face.  The sight of her butt getting reamed looks scorching hot in this position and she turns her head around so that you can see her face.  Then Max has her count backwards out loud slowly from 18 as he continues to steadily pump his dick in and out of her asshole.  I'm not sure what the point was, but I thought it was erotic as hell.  I couldn't explain why, but it was.  Then to top it off, she hops off and sucks his dick.  Again, this may be an A2M, but maybe not since the camera breaks.  For the first time, Max gives her ass a decent break and lets her work on his cock with her mouth.  Some decent oral action ensues.  Max is sitting in a chair and Leanni is on her knees.  Leanni makes some great sucky and pop sounds as she sucks off the tip of his cock.  Max moves her head by pulling on her hair during the BJ.  Leanni makes good eye contact.  Next, reverse cowgirl anal again but this time, Max turns it into a DP by using a orange dildo.  For the first time, Leanni seems uncomfortable.  In general, she avoids DP scenes.  After getting fucked by the dildo, she sucks it direct from her snatch.  

All good things must come to an end.  Heading into the final stretch, Max bends the Asian princess over a chair and proceeds to ream out her cornhole doggie style.  The sequence is captured skillfully and there are several excellent gape shots that give Leanni fans an up close and personal view of her backdoor.  Despite all the anal play described above, her butt holds up well to the abuse.  It still looks pretty, pink and relatively tight.  But by now, it appears that Leanni is simply enduring it.  She is no longer smiling and joining in with Max's twisted conversation.  It appears that Max picks up on this and says, "I bet your butt's getting sore now."  Nonetheless, he continues to pump his rod in and out of her anus.  Max finally has enough, pulls out, and for the last time gives Leanni the opportunity to suck dick fresh from her asshole.  She willingly agrees and performs killer A2M while making outstanding eye contact with the camera.  Max jerks off on her face while standing over her.  He hits the target, which is her open mouth of course.  She cleans his cock off, smiles and lets the cum drip out.

SCENE THREE  
Melody Love and Max

This is a short scene that could be considered a bonus for Max fans.  Max rarely includes more than three scenes per title.  This is as good as time as any to mention that this is a general weakness of Max Hardcore tapes.  By today's standards, three scenes is not very generous.  Many adult videos now include six scenes and have a running time over two hours.   Although Max's material is somewhat unique, it is really sort of a rip off that his customers have to rent or purchase nearly twice as many films as say,  fans of movies directed by Tom Byron to see the same number of scenes.  Now that DVD has arrived, with it's longer running time, it would be nice if Max recycled some of the old scenes on "2 for 1" discs.  So far, I see no sign he plans to do this, but it would be a nice gesture.

Max is seen as a passenger in a van which appears to be driving down a highway in France.  Earlier Max said he was in France for the 1999 HOT video awards.  Melody is on her knees on the floor giving Max a BJ.  She's wearing what seems to be a black bathing suit which is unfastened.  Melody is concentrating very hard on the blowjob and doesn't say much.  The van pulls over and now Melody is shown lying on the seat.  She continues to suck on Max's pole.  The camera man goes outside the van and shoots the action from outside and the viewer can see the traffic driving by.  Max squirts his cum on her face.  Melody's  mouth and eyes are open.  She cleans off Max's pole.

SCENE FOUR - "Big Sis Claudia"
Claudia De Corazon and Max 

Claudia approaches Max in his garage.  She found out what Max did to Leanni, her younger "sister", and she wants an explanation.   Max admits he has none, but lucky for him Claudia falls under his spell and loses her anger.  Instead, she wants to have sex.  Claudia looks like she is Mexican.  It's hard to tell her age, but I estimate she is in her middle or late 30's.  She's wearing a yellow bikini top and pink cotton skirt with hi heel shoes.  She has a fairly big frame, and although her body is not fat, it doesn't look like she works out at the gym either.  Still, at the beginning of this scene, she looks fairly attractive.  She has large tits and very erect nipples. 

The sex starts by Max fingering her pussy after applying some lube.  Claudia is lying down on a workbench in Max's garage.  Almost immediately, Max shoves four fingers up Claudia's cunt.  This is the first hint that Max is not going  easy on this woman.  He also stretches her box out good.  Next, Max skips the pussy, and as in the last scene, goes straight for her anus.  Max begins fucking Claudia's ass and continues to stretch her pussy wide.  After a bit, he pulls his cock out and pushes her asshole inside out two times.  Already poor Claudia's rectum looks like it is on the way to becoming hamburger meat and the scene is just begun.  As Max is pushing her rectum out through her cunt, she says "Treat me like a little whore."  Max goes back to assaulting her asshole.  To make it tighter, he jams a dildo in her cunt.  Although Claudia tells Max weakly to treat her like a whore, already she is gritting her teeth and looks dazed.  It's not as if she is surprised, like a deer caught in the headlights, instead her spirit seems completely drained.  Perhaps she is resigned to the idea that Max can do whatever he wants with her, and she will submit completely.  Whatever beauty she had at the beginning of the scene evaporated.  Some close ups of her face confirm this.  At any rate, Max seems to sense all this and his evil twin comes out.  

While fucking her puckered asshole without mercy, Max begins to slap her inner thighs - hard!  Then he pulls out and pries open her poop chute wide using two fingers on each hand.  Max treats Claudia to more anal pounding in the sideways position.  Then he removes his cock and has her suck it straight from her ass.  He continues to berate her verbally and then slaps her face, and chokes her with his cock.  Claudia begins to gag, but she doesn't gag like most Max girls.  Most Max girls gag and then drool thick spit.  Claudia just beings to gag, even when Max's dick is not in her mouth.  They seem to be dry heaves, like she was trying to throw up.  Max grabs her hair and forces his cock down her throat again.  He slaps her tits hard.  Then he throws her down and bends her over so that he can fuck her ass doggie style.  Claudia continues to gag even though Max's dick is buried deep in her butt, not in her mouth.  Actually, it is not possible to tell that Max is in her ass.  He may be in her pussy.  The camera only shoots this part from a head on angle.  However, there seems no need for him to fake it with this lady.  Max pulls out and comes around her so that she can perform A2M.  Claudia willingly takes his cock in her mouth.  There is more slapping and she finally comes up with some drool.  Max makes the most of it, and fist fucks her mouth.  Then there is more doggie ass action.  Max pounds her ass while pulling her head back using her pigtails.  Claudia does another A2M.  Max tries to cram his fist roughly in her mouth.  Now Max does something unusual, even for a Max Hardcore film.  He actually tries to stick his cock in her ear and up her nose.  For a moment, it looked like he really would fit the tip of his cock up her nostril!  By now her face is getting very messy with drool.  

Max moves to a chair.  Claudia climbs aboard and sticks his dick up her ass.  Unfortunately, she is too large or uncoordinated to bounce well.  Max spreads open her cunt as his pecker penetrates her ass.  Claudia looks like she is in discomfort and tries to avoid deep penetration.  Max has Claudia turn around for cowgirl anal fun.  In the cowgirl position, she is much better at getting some gliding action going.  She seems recovered from the earlier trauma at this point.  She is making good eye contact again, and her face is cleaned off.  Or, the scene may have been shot in a different sequence.  There is some choking, and then reverse anal cowgirl again.  You can see globs of dried spit on her chest.  Max whips out a medium sized dildo and decides to DP her.  Claudia grimaces the whole time during the DP, but continues onward.  

To end the scene Max preps her face by applying lipstick to her lips.  There's some drooling and she spits on herself.  Max pries her mouth open forcefully and slaps her face hard while holding her hair with the other.  Claudia opens WIDE.  Max shoots his load directly in her mouth.  She lets it run out of her mouth and down her chest.  Globs of spooge hang off of her chin.  Claudia is a mess.  Max thinks this is a "Kodak moment" and takes some photos of her.  

This is one of those scenes when you wonder how much the girl got paid, because in the back of your mind, you are thinking it couldn't have been enough.  This is one of Max's hardest and darkest scenes ever.   It is difficult to imagine how Claudia must have felt at the end of this shoot.  In this scene, she was degraded to an extent that far exceeds just getting your ass destroyed for the entertainment of guys whacking off around the world.  Normally Max does not treat the girls this rough.  Perhaps he was inspired by Anabolic's recent Rough Sex films. This is a scene for those who enjoy Max's evil twin.  

Snowman scene grade: A-, Raincoat Points: 85

CONCLUSION

Planet Max 2 is interesting because the scenes are distinctly different in tone.  On the surface, all three (main) scenes are simply about girls who get royally reamed up the ass, however none of them share the same psychic dynamic.  The first scene is all about  straight ahead anal sex.  Julianna is a consenting adult, and Max reams her ass good -- no more, no less.  Perhaps this is why the scene seemed to fizzle when compared to the other two.  The second scene with Leanni is all wrapped up in fantasies about young (teenage) girls. Leanni comes across splendidly. She somehow manages to come across as perfectly innocent even though she's letting an old guy stuff his meat in and out of her tiny asshole trying to make it gape.  Roller-skates, natural girlish looks and her ability to engage Max with appropriate dialog really help the fantasy along.  In the Leanni scene, Max treats her with kid gloves.  Yes, he's fucking her ass, and he fucks it for a long time in many positions, but he does it nicely. Max doesn't slap her, he doesn't really choke her with his cock and make her gag, he doesn't make her get reamed in the reverse cowgirl position with her face covered with drool.  Even her A2M sequences may be faked!  This is in stark contrast to the last scene.  In Claudia's scene, Max's evil twin is out to play.  With Claudia, Max seems to want to completely break her down as a person.  The focus is really on domination, submission, humiliation and degradation.  Anal sex is just a tool achieve these goals.  For some of Max's fans, these dark themes may arouse more than anything else. 

I'm starting to wonder if the three tiered approach on this feature was a coincidence, or a brilliant marketing scheme by Max?

OTHER SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS

07.01.00  Note:  There is a mpg file available on Max's website (and various other places on the Internet) that show Max peeing on Leanni.  Leanni is seen sitting down nude, with her legs crossed.  She is naked, except for her roller-skates.  Max (standing to the side of her) starts off peeing on her pussy and slowly works his way up to her open mouth. By all appearances, I confirmed that this golden shower clip seems to be taken from the same shoot as her scene in Planet Max 2.  The peeing sequence is not included on the domestic release of the video.  I'm not sure if it is included in the European version or will be included in a future DVD.  Thanks to voy7dsl@swbell.net for this tidbit!

02.05.01  Update:  A DVD version of Planet Max #02 has been released.  I'll update this review to include the DVD scoop as time permits.

04.01.02  Bad news!  When I last checked the availability of this DVD on 04.01.02, it appears to be discontinued!

07.02.03  Good news!  This title is available again in the USA!
