Question: how can you NOT love a movie that has this tag line:
“They Charge An Arm And A Leg!”
And a “subtle” poster like this!
Time To Celebrate The Bloody Fun Of “Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers!”
Yes, the title should tell you how “tongue in bloody cheek” this film is, but that’s what makes it a classic! First, check out this vintage movie trailer – oh, be warned that it is full of sex, nudity and blood!
I miss cinema like this! Director Fred Olen Ray released a memoir recently where he discusses so many of his greatest cult films and the book is a great journey through cult cinema!
Here is the plot of “Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers”, courtesy of the great website “DVD Drive-in”:
“On the hunt for runaway Oxnard teenager Samantha, Los Angeles private detective Jack Chandler stumbles across an LAPD investigation into a series of chainsaw serial killings when thinks homicide detective Harrison’s “Cuisinart Queen” suspect – caught “making Chicken McNuggets with a chainsaw” – might be the missing girl!”
“Chicken McNuggets With A Chainsaw”!
First of all, bravo to the modern scream queen Michelle Bauer, who gives a terrific performance in the film! The late 80’s were a delirious time for low-budget filmmaking…from “Re-Animator” to “Chainsaw Hookers”, movies were trying to keep the spirit of the drive-in alive – just bloodier, sexier and with a knowing wink to the audience!
And let’s not forget the iconic Linnea Quigley as well!
Iconic Director Fred Olen Ray directed “HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS” – and according to DVD Drive-In, “Hookers” was filmed in five days!
Greg Kinnear’s “MovieTime” Moment!
DVD Drive-In also reports there is a great “extra” on the blu-ray release: a vintage “MovieTime Hollywood Premiere” (3:53) in which later Oscar-nominated actor Greg Kinnear pays his dues condescendingly covering the film’s premiere interviewing Quigley, Wildsmith, Camp Video’s Jim Goff, Sybil Danning (who is “always interested in a seeing a good documentary”), and cabaret act “Les Stevens and the Lovely Carol”.
As one of the folks who worked at MovieTime in the day, this is a great piece of nostalgia!
Michelle Bauer has had a great career in film and TV, so look up some of her favorites and have a blast!

Well, America’s Scream Queen also liked to shake it onscreen, as she did in this classic film:
Another great classic, the campy fun of “Return Of The Living Dead!” See all the naked fun here:
If you just want to remember some of the campiest horror films of a bygone era – then you need to check out this classic by the legendary Vincent Price:
Here is a look at the classic “Dr. Phibes” movies from the early 70’s, and the raucous world of the “Midnight movie” – click here to read all about it:
‘Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers’ rates alongside my all-time favourite title, ‘Nude Nuns With Big Guns’.
Looks like a great campy blood-fest indeed, John. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1352388/
Best wishes, Pete.
You can't take the Scotland out of a girl... Reel entertainment reviews and more from that Darlin Husband’s Scottish, square-eyed and film-mad wife living in Finland.
