Editorial Reviews

All the Lovin' Money Can Buy! "The varieties of 'Scarlet Ladies' are infinite. Sometimes it's the good girl gone wrong sometimes it's the smart one who's just a little too smart..." Or sometimes it's someone like Callie Sue a pretty black secretary who sells herself to a white co-worker after remembering a violent assault by redneck racists. Or go-go girl Julie whose manager sets her up with a perverted "producer" she's supposed to "be nice" to. Or Barbara a suburban housewife who owes money to a loan shark and tries to take it out in trade. They're just three of The Hookers who stalk the Big City in this sordid slice of '60s sexploitation with giant hairdos creepy lechers and a crew member's head in a mirror!Plus: It's hookers vs. hoodlums when the mob tries to muscle in on Madame Sue and her Times Square Street Walkers. So successful is Sue's operation that mobster Carny Bill declares war and his men start shooting stabbing and hanging whores until the girls from the P.P.S. (that's Prostitutes Protective Society) and fight back with their own brand of shooting stabbing and laundry-room drowning in this gloriously insane New York nudie from Barry Mahon (The Beast That Killed Women). But remember: "You can't trick a hooker!"System Requirements:Running Time 68:01 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 014381123128 Manufacturer No: ID1231SWDVD

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Interesting & Nude-a-Plenty Grindhouse Collection, February 7, 2008

This review is from: The Hookers and P.P.S. (DVD)

There are actually three shorts: The Hookers, Prostitute Protective Service & Meeting on 69th Street.

Some people are pretty critical of these grindhouse films - not sure why. It seems the criteria should be pretty straightforward:

Are the women attractive?
Is there enough nudity? (well, female only)
Is there girl on girl action?
Film resolution quality accetable to good?
And a bonus, does the plot make sense?

For these three, you have to say yes on all checkpoints for all three shorts (each about @1 hour long). The Hookers one is really comprised of three "chapters" and three different un-related stories of prostitutes. It should be noted that Image Entertainment which distributes the Something Weird compilation DVD's will on occasion edit them ... I can't imagine they edit for time, only on content so one of the Hookers short stories has a couple jarring edits so I'm not sure if we've lost a little or a lot - did not see the original VHS (pre Image Entertainment editing). But still pretty nice but you have to wonder.

PPS is big scoped storyline of prostitutes defending their Times Square turf against the mob. Big cast, cool Times Square b-roll of that era, lots of action and lots of nudity - nice.

The third featurettes not listed is 'Meeting on 69th Street" - also about an hour long - about prostitutes who open up their own house of ill repute (without pimps) on ... you can guess the street. Solid & plenty of nudity.

Not the best compilation but all pretty solid. All b&w. There might be trims in the first story but the women except for the first girl are all smokin' (and not the cigarette kind) so good enough.

Plus the usual fun assortment of trailers and mini featurettes (about 10 in all).
