Max Hardcore (born Paul Little on August 10, 1956 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA) is a controversial and unique male porn star and producer whose films usually feature him engaging in variety of sexual encounters with young women who dress and act like prepubescent girls. He has faced obscenity and child pornography charges at various times during his career but has never been convicted of these.

Mr. Hardcore's films are considered by many to be highly obscene—moreso 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. Another 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 throating and vomiting. He makes the actresses vomit, collecting it in a large glass bowl which can be seen by the viewer throughout the movie. The actresses faces are almost always at the end of the scene covered with spit, semen, and their own vomit. 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 (according to his characters) 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 his actresses as young and sometimes below the minimum legal age of 18, they are not actually so young. In one of his films, an actress over the age of 18 was portraying someone younger, and the fictional character states that she is 12 years old. This prompted the United States government to bring charges of child pornography against Hardcore which resulted in an indictment. What made the case so significant is that the government did not dispute the fact that the actress was over the age of 18; they brought charges based solely on the fact that the actress was portraying a character who was under the age of consent.

Just 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 http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/00-795.ZS.html). Based on this ruling, the child pornography charges against Hardcore were dismissed. The city of Los Angeles charged Hardcore with distribution of obscenity, but 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."

In 2001, Hardcore faced charges when a British documentary filmmaker allegedly filmed Hardcore raping porn actress Felicity, who had come to audition for one of his films after being referred by porn agent Dick Nasty. No charges were ever filed, however; there was, though, an enormous fallout after the incident, which saw a temporary backlash against the British pornography industry. Following the incident, Hardcore released a statement reading:

I would like to express my apologies to Felicity for any misunderstandings, as well as all the viewers of the program who found it so offensive. This is not the real Max Hardcore at all. In any case, let me assure you that I have not and never will be releasing any of this material to the public, and will never again deal with her agent.

Many who read the statement after seeing the program found Hardcore's apology to be insincere, as he is featured in the documentary threatening Felicity and repeatedly insulting her when she refused to participate in certain extreme sexual acts (such as being forced to vomit by having Hardcore trigger her gag reflex with his penis).

On October 5, 2005, the offices of Max World Entertainment were raided by the FBI. Five video titles and the office's computer servers were seized, ostensibly for research toward a federal obscenity indictment or a charge related to the 2257 record-keeping law.

Some critics feel that the prevalence of anal sex in contemporary pornographic films can be linked to the popularity of Max Hardcore's work, with few adult films featuring it before him, and the vast majority featuring it afterwards.

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