I met Max Hardcore years ago at some music industry party in Hollywood. He had a body guard with him and the body guard was wearing a headset for some reason. I thought he was being protected by the Secret Service or something.
I've seen him a few times over the years since then and he seems cool in person. Some of his movies are a little over the top for me personally.
I think he's still fighting the Los Angeles district attorney on some sort of fucked up anti free speech charges.
