Extras: The best extra for me was the porn comic version of the movie with 8 pages of sex filled illustrations by Iron Bear. This is the kind of thing you can’t steal online, sure to be a collector’s item as time progresses. The first disc only had a commercial for Vivid’s web-cam line. The bulk of the extras were included on the second disc had a 14:18 minute non-sex version of the movie, 3:37 minutes of BTS footage where Chyna was being body painted (only showing near her neck and head), trailers, a photogallery, and the usual Vivid extras.

Condoms: None

Audio/Video Quality: She-Hulk XXX was presented in anamorphic widescreen as shot by director Axel Braun for Vivid (their comic book line). With Axel sharing writing credit with “Mark Logan”, helping edit it with his wife and Claudia Ross, and being credited for shooting it with “Eli Cross”, the director wore many hats this time. The makeup shared many of the same issues other Hulk titles have had in recent years, the smearing or running of the green body paint, but the limited special effects aside, some credit should go to the makeup artists here, Julie M. Knight and Mistress Red, the art direction by Kylie Ireland and Andy Appleton one of the few areas that stood out as right on the mark (from the hospital to the Hydra base, to the apartment and more, this was the most consistently solid aspect of the movie for me other than the sexual trysts). It looked low budget much of the time but in a porn parody, cheese sort of way that folks are likely going to expect. There was a company watermark on the lower right corner as well. The aural components were credited to Seth Cardigan, the music appropriate, the vocals easily heard thanks to grip work by Sly and Sleepy, and even the relative lack of ambient noises did not hurt the general quality of the sound.

Body of Review: Axel Braun has become one of the driving forces in porn parodies, his best works at Vivid garnering a massive amount of awards and accolades. His latest release to gain him even more notoriety is called She-Hulk XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, the movie staying true to the longstanding origins of Bruce Banner’s cousin, albeit spicing it up sexually as well. Gracie Glam portrays the pre-gamma irradiated version of lawyer Jennifer Walters, a blood transfusion from her cousin giving her the kind of enhanced abilities one might expect, played quite well by former wrestler Chyna, a buxom brunette in her most suitable porn role to date. Going into the show, I expected a lot of the 30+ year old character from the Marvel Comics universe and was largely pleased with what they came up with but it felt short, the movie clocking in at around an hour and a half rather than the expected 2 or 3 hours needed to provide some character development. Still, it was fun and entertaining, the sex with folks like Gracie Glam, Chyna, Alexis Ford, and Jennifer Dark sure to please comic fans not into porn as deeply as I (a short blowjob scene by Tara Lynn Foxx was too limited to get into). The back cover described the movie like this: “She's hot, she's mean, and...she's green! Undisputed porn parody king Axel Braun and adult powerhouse Vivid Entertainment finally bring to life one of the most beloved comic book heroines, and who better than world-famous former WWF wrestling superstar Chyna to portray her? Sexy, funny, and outrageously entertaining, "She-Hulk XXX: An Axel Braun Parody" is a force to be reckoned with!” Here’s a brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:

Scene One: Gracie Glam, the attractive young lady featured on the center of the cover (underneath Chyna in green paint), was up first as power player lawyer Jennifer Walters, the horny gal teasing Mark Wood in the law office. She kissed him and rubbed his pecker through his pants, whipping it out to slob his knob actively with a lot of talented licking and ball sucking. Rather than gobble her gash, Mark dove right in to fuck her tender pussy, her neatly trimmed pubes and smoking hot lean body certainly inspirational enough to then draw him in for a few licks himself. The missionary led to an active standing doggy, Gracie sucking him clean again as he throated her and more penetration began, additional head from both of them eventually leading to her most active position of all, the cowgirl, which drained him of genetic juice launched onto her face.

Scene Two: Tara Lynn Foxx, a sexy blond playing a nurse at the hospital, was up next as she showed her desire to excite a man in uniform, Alec Knight initially resisting her charms until a whispered word of encouragement led them to the x-ray room where she dropped down to blow him. Tara gave him a devoted blowjob with ample licking, sucking, and hand to gland combat before he unleashed his wad of population pudding onto her face, I just wanted more from the scene like him nailing her sweet pussy or ass (or at least giving her some head in return).

Scene Three: Chyna, the big green chick on the front cover, was up next in a lesbian tryst with tasty blond Alexis Ford, the former contract blond portraying Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four (“Invisible Girl”). Reed worked on a cure for her affliction and the ladies ended up in bed with their costumes on, some kisses and caresses leading to Alexis getting naked while Chyna remained in her jumpsuit. At least the jumpsuit had a zipper for her crotch, Alexis taking advantage of it to go down on the green behemoth though some problems with the green body paint arose as her juices flowed so freely (as well as near one of her eye brows). Minor issues aside, Chyna seemed to appreciate reciprocating on Alexis’ sweet ass hovering in the air, her perfect pucker and flowery labia as sexually inviting as ever. This was another scene that fell short of the mark despite two power players, the limitations of each gal doing a limited amount of oral and not tying things up struck me as sloppy. The lack of spunk did not impact things much for me though, it was just seeing both of them not quite getting off that weakened it for me.

Scene Four: Jennifer Dark, a lean hotty seen on the lower right corner of the cover, was up next in her skintight Hydra outfit, barking orders as she demanded minion Alan Stafford, dressed in green satin rather than the vinyl Jennifer was in, get her off. The consequences for failure would be death so he gave her some head in earnest, Jennifer showing her own oral talents as she blew him, both staying in their attire though she tore hers to allow him to pound her pussy hard. Jennifer was an active vaginal rider and her tits shook as she bounced on his rod, the guy beating his meat of splooge all over her chest as she caressed her boobs.

Scene Five: Chyna, having broken out of her captivity, then ran into Eric “Hawkeye” Masterson, the characters in their best known costumes as he propositioned her. The manly voice aside, Chyna took him into the lair and knelt down to suck him off, Eric drilling her snatch while the defeated guards stayed relatively motionless in the background. As she became increasingly wet, his balls started looking greener and greener while her twat looked more human, the paint issue arising again, a facial of ball batter provided the lady as she knelt before him one last time. A humorous quip at the end by Eric led to the credits and I admit to having mixed feeling about the project, still recognizing that the sets and number of extras were well above average for a recent parody.

Summary: She-Hulk XXX by director Axel Braun for Vivid was fun and while the character has always been portrayed in the comics as leaner and taller than Chyna, I’m not sure the mainstream could have done a better job of casting the role. Gracie Glam was suitable as her alter ego and the rest of the roles showed some nod to pornified versions, Eric Masterson reprising his role as Hawkeye and Ryan Drill coming across as a decent looking version of Reed Richards (similar to the mainstream actor, Ioan Gruffudd in looks). The pacing and overall comic elements seemed slighter this time than in Axel’s best works but though it had decent extras, it should probably be considered as worthy of a light Recommended if you enjoy comic book parodies. In short, while She-Hulk XXX: An Axel Braun Parody was not as interesting as other comic titles mined for some cosplay action, fans of Chyna will consider this her shining moment in porn despite the problems with the green body paint, the totality of the double disc set being a nice change of pace from some of the weaker parodies on the market by a wide margin so check it out.
