4.0 out of 5 stars What were you expecting, Casablanca?, August 13, 2008

By	Anthony N. Conigliaro (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers 20th Anniversary Edition (DVD)

"Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." The name pretty much says it all. When you have a movie with a title like that starring Linnea Quigley, you are not going to get an in depth look at the human condition. If you want a way to kill an hour and a half without turning on your brain, this is for you. Personally, I thought it was a lot of fun. It starts with a detective looking for a missing girl (Quigley) and winds up running afoul of a chainsaw cult led by Gunnar Hansen.
The movie does not take itself too seriously. The gore effects are so over the top that they are far from frightening, but rather fun. If you are a fan of 80's B movies, you will not be disappointed. I have never regretted buying this flick.

5.0 out of 5 stars A T&A & Blood & Guts Masterpiece!!, June 4, 2003

By	M. R Turner "zenresistance" (Edgemoor, SC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie has everything any red-blooded American male B-movie buff could ever ask for. Beautiful women. Killing. Beautiful women. Comedy. Beautiful women. A wiseacre detective a la Mike Hammer on valium. And all of it on the cheap. If you're one of those PC Nazis, you'll hate it, but if you can take low-brow comedy with a grain of salt it'll be a fabulous movie-going experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cinematic Geniusness, February 3, 2002

By	L. wright "Larr" (Avenel, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From the time when Thomas Edison made his first moving picture, to when George Lucas released his latest installment of the Star Wars series, there has never been such a masterpiece anything near HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS. The award-winning performances of the humungously talented cast, combined with state-of-the-art, dazzeling special effects wizardry, made this film the greatest cinematic accomplishment ever! Gunnar Hansen stetches all his acting muscles and puts forth a heartfelt performance that would leave Orson Wells in a jealous rage. The demure acting skills of both Michelle Bauer and Linnea Quigley were so strong and beliveable that I was nearly moved to tears. How could a supurb piece of showmanship like this go unnoticed for so long? Its a crime that this movie never won an oscar. Im still waiting for the big-budget sequel. Maybe they'll spend a cool $70,000, rather then a simple $58,000 and bring this original, beliveable idea to the big screen again in the way it was meant to be. I recommend everyone buy ten copies, just for the prestige alone.
