Synopsis

This is second in a new series from Max Hardcore called Universal Max.  Max retires series after the number reaches twenty.  Universal Max isn't much different than other Max series.  It may be intended to be the series that contains scenes shot in more exotic locations around the world (similar to the retired Max World line).  As usual, sex-wise this series focuses on anal sex, messy oral action and a ton of throat gagging, induced by penis and hand.

What's Hot

Asian raincoater fans will enjoy seeing Keeani worked over by Max.  It's not Max's best Asian scene, but she's a fresh face, takes it up the pooper and endures lots of throat banging and gagging abuse.

Lots of messy blowjobs and gagging with impressive amounts of slobber.  Layla and Keeani looked pretty hot during these shenanigans, even when their faces were a mess. 

Max spiced up one of the warning trailers with a caller who left a critical message on his "hotline".  Funny stuff!

What's Not

Regrettable, Layla didn't perform anal.  Since there are only three scenes on this disc, at the very least Max fans deserve anal footage in each one.  After all, anal sex is Max's hallmark and the total running time of this disc is much less than many others.

Few explicit close-ups of the anal action and gaping as one might expect from Max Hardcore.  Only one brief sequence with Keeani (in doggy position) made any impact in this area.  Raincoaters expect more.

Production values slipping on Keeani's scene.  Instances of obvious fill light being turned on and used in the middle of the sequence, boom microphone appearing in the frame, and awkward camera angles and/or editing at times.  All of these things are distracting and detract from enjoyment of the scene. 

Sound level is recorded extremely high on the disc.  As a result, even at low volume settings, the movie is very loud. 

Nearly seven minutes of warnings, Max promo trailers and other crap that every Max Hardcore viewer has seen about a zillion times before the movie starts.  However, Max did put forth some effort to make these more entertaining (see above).

Max continues to employ the use of a watermark at times in the bottom right of the screen.  This is unnecessary and intrusive.  At least it doesn't appear constantly now.

Play By Play

Below is a detailed description of each scene:

  Scene One - Layla Rivera and one guy (Max Hardcore)

Layla and Max return from shopping.  Max plops on the sofa (indoors) and Layla brings out a few trinkets they purchased.  Layla is an attractive, slender, leggy brunette with long hair.  She's wearing a colorful white bikini top with flowers, tight, yellow plastic skirt and slutty tall, yellow heels with white socks.  She looks hot in a trashy way. 

Layla says she is tired from so much shopping and ready for some "romance".  Max slides his pants down and is already hard for her.  On request Layla strips down to her bikini.  Layla goes down on his cock and immediately takes it very deep.  She gags and expels lots of slobber right off the bat.  The starlet looks hot with a cock in her mouth and is very cooperative and friendly.  She repeatedly gags herself and it appears that some of the stuff she's choking up is closer to vomit than spit.  It's not chunky, but it has a definite brownish tint -- pretty gross!  Now Layla changes positions and hangs her head over the side of the sofa.  At the same time she grabs her feet.  Max throat fucks her deep and more slobber is generated.  Layla doesn't stay in this position too long.  She gets on her knees and sucks Max's cock across the arm, again grabbing her heels.  More slobber and choking on the dick. 

Next Max fucks her doggy style on the sofa.  Laya's pussy is entirely hairless.  After a few minutes, he changes positions and bones her reverse cowgirl.  Layla remains animated here and occasionally has dialog with Max.  She jams her fingers down her throat and makes herself gag.  The slobber drips down her chest as Max continues to stuff her.  After a few minutes, she spins around and fucks Max cowgirl style.  This is followed by missionary and piledriver.  Max and the starlet herself finger her pussy for a short time and then Max fucks her face again, hanging off the sofa arm.  Max face fucks her aggressively here and makes a mess of Layla's face.  He has her put on some dental gear to spread her mouth open super wide and jacks off above her.  He shoots his load into her mouth and Layla gargles the cum.  She poses for a few pics and cleans off Max's cock briefly.  (28 minutes)

Scene One Rating: 8.00
Starlet appearance: 8.00, Starlet attitude and personality: 8.50, Sexual Heat: 8.00, Raincoat appeal: 7.50

  Scene Two - Keeani Lei and one guy (Max Hardcore)  (Snowman's Pick for Best Scene!)

Max is in Miami in a high-rise hotel on the beach (The Westin).  There's a bikini contest going on down below him.  He's watching the show on his balcony with an Asian girl (Keeani Lei) dressed in a bright green bikini and tall, white boots.  Keeani has long straight hair, a round face, small natural breasts and fairly dark skin.  She's cute but not gorgeous.  Keeani's body is pretty nice, however her voice is sort of annoying (high and nasal).  They go into the room and sit down on a loveseat.  Keeani says she was kicked out of the contest for flashing her boobs.  In short order, Keeani is sucking Max's cock.  She takes the cock deep in her mouth and Max achieves the desired slobber effect.  Max grabs her head when she is buried in his lap to aid her deep-throating efforts.  Keeani's face becomes sort of red here.  She looks good sucking cock.

Now Max fucks the young Asian starlet.  After a false doggy start, the first position is reverse cowgirl.  Max pumps her "hairless pussy hole" rather gently and Keeani creams all over his cock.  Once again, Keeani looks pretty good getting porked.  After a few minutes, Max sticks it up her butt.  Max continues to probe carefully and Keeani eeks and squeals the entire time.  Sometimes she offers some commentary like "ream out my assholeeeee."  After two or three minutes, Max finally pounds her ass harder, but it looks difficult for him.  Keeani hops off and there's an awkward cut to Max fucking her mouth as she hangs her head over the loveseat arm.  I can't say it's a true ass to mouth due to the editing.  The first time Max removes his cock, a nice spit glob rolls down her face dramatically, but then the camera changes to a different less effective angle.  Max fucks her face more like this and additional instances of messy slobber shots are captured.  Max walks around to her her side and crams his cock in Keeani's ass again (mish as he holds her legs up and back).  Then more impressive throat fucking.  By the end of this sequence, her face is well glazed.  Max gags her with his fingers and then directs her to do the same.  Then more anal reaming.  Keeani gags her at the same time.  She begins to lose energy here and looks somewhat pathetic, and oddly hot at the same time as she forces her gag reflex.  "Am I getting skinnier?  Do I look like a model?" she asks.  

Max fucks Keeani's face again and this time when he returns to her ass, he breaks out a dildo for her pussy at the same time.  This continues for a few minutes, then they change positions to reverse cowgirl.  Keeani seems to have some difficultly fucking herself with the vibrator here, but finally manages to get a couple of inches in.  Max gags her some more but oddly the camera focuses on her pussy each each and just gagging sounds are heard.  After a while, they switch to doggy anal and Keeani is more vocal.  She still fucks herself with the toy at the same time.  During this sequence, the camera finally is aimed properly for some ass close-ups and Max gapes Keeani's ass a few times.  No hands A2M cocksucking follows with Keeani reaching back and grabbing her heels.  More good oral footage here.  The scene cuts and Max dolls up Keeani with lipstick.  He applies it to her lips, nipples, and draws an arrow to her cunt.  Then he writes, "I Luv Dady" on her chest.  A brief return to hard oral and then he is ready to cum.  Max jerks off over Keeani's open mouth and blows his load on her face.  Keeani cleans off his cock and then turns to face the camera.  She looks like a total mess at the end of the scene.  (34 minutes)

Scene Two Rating: 8.25
Starlet appearance: 8.00, Starlet attitude and personality: 8.00, Sexual Heat: 8.00, Raincoat appeal: 9.00

  Scene Three - Barbi Bucxxx and one guy (Max Hardcore) 

Max appears to be at rest area in "Northern California".  He spies Barbi Bucxxx sitting on a picnic table and approaches her.  She's a blond with long hair and is wearing a pink t-shirt and matching skirt.  He convinces the dumb girl he knows her daddy and she hops in his SUV to take a ride.  The scene cuts and now Max and Barbi are in the back seat.  Max fingers her twat and ass as they drive down the road.  Then he sticks his cock in her ass, missionary.  Barbi lifts her legs up high and back.  Max has her suck his cock a2m, but there is an edit here.  Barbi provides descriptive commentary on what she is doing, but I found her voice annoying.  Barbie sucks Max's rod deep and once again, things turn messy.  Barbie's eyes water too causing her mascara to run.  This sequence goes on for quite awhile and Max spends a lot of time positioning her. 

The scene cuts, and now Barbie's ass is getting stuff reverse cowgirl.  Max penetrates her gently, but she makes a lot of noise about it.  There appears to be some odd overdubbing of Barbie's voice here at times.  This goes on a few minutes, then it is back to mish anal.  When he tires of fucking her ass, Max goes back to fucking her mouth and generating more spit.  The scene cuts, and Max fucks her from behind in a sort of reverse pile driver with Barbie's head on the floor and her ass up by the seat.  I thought this was sort of a cool position, even though it was a bit hard to see her butthole and some gapes would have been welcome.  He doesn't fuck her too long like this and the scene cuts back to more face fucking.  Barbi tosses Max's salad here also and tries to gag herself.  The scene cuts again to more traditional oral action, but with Max stretching out her face wide using his fingers.  Barbi's face is quite red and she looks like a skanky mess now.  Max returns to butt fucking the blond in missionary position.  The sunlight here is rather harsh and unflattering.  From here Max is ready to bust a nut.  He throat fucks Barbi briefly one last time and then cums on her face and mouth.  However, she's trying to gag herself at the same time and it just gets in the way.  Barbi waves goodbye on request and Max keeps rolling down the road.  Barbi is shown again at some point later and she says Max is the "hardest of hardcore."  (26 minutes)

Scene Three Rating: 7.63
Starlet appearance: 7.00, Starlet attitude and personality: 7.50, Sexual Heat: 7.50, Raincoat appeal: 8.50

Everything Else

The main menu of the disc is functional, but not very attractive.  Special features on this disc include, Behind the Scenes featurette, Photo Gallery, (fake) starlet biographies and trailers from other Max movies. 

The BTS includes footage of the Barcelona Sex Expo including Max's booth, several erotic dance performances and a couple of live sex shows.  Layla is the starlet appearing at his booth.  Later Max takes a boat out and lets Layla navigate it. Also briefly shows Max getting lost in Spain in the beginning of the featurette.  No footage involving the actual filming of the scenes or the other girls is included.  (8 minutes)

Production quality of this disc is generally good, but not up to par Max's best work.  The shooter did not always capture the action at the best angles and at times made peculiar choices about what to focus on.  Responsibility for this could also fall on the editor unless there was not much footage to choose from.  At times, the editing also seemed rough and awkward.  Lighting was adequate.  Turning on the fill light during Keeani's scene was distracting.  Also during Barbi's car scene, the sunlight at times was harsh and unflattering.  The sound was recorded well but mastered on the disc at such a high level, even at low volume settings, the DVD was very loud.  A boom mic was visible at least once.

Last Word & Final Tally

Universal Max #02 offers few surprises but should please most Max fans who like his recent titles.  At this point, Max emphasizes messy, rough blowjobs and gagging more than anal sex.  Keeani's scene is the best of the bunch here.  Had Layla performed anal, she would have given Keeani a run for the money, but it was not to be.  Barbi's scene was OK, and has the novelty of taking place in a moving car, but this starlet is not that appealing.  This disc is highly recommended to viewers into gagging and the resulting messy fluids.  Max hasn't yet made a real vomit scene, but he seems to be moving every closer to this unusual fetish.
