7/10
Promised... delivered!
9 May 2020
When you buy or rent a trashy B-movie, you have certain expectations. The main expectation is that you will be disappointed when the film is nowhere near as good as the artwork on the front of the box or the hyperbolic bumph on the back. 'Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers' is scrupulously honest in title, artwork and blurb. Purchase, rent or stream with confidence. What isn't as apparent before watching is that this is also a Raymond Chandler spoof. This is something which has been attempted many times, and usually delivers fewer laughs than HCH does. Scream queen legends Linnea Quigley (adorable) and Michelle Bauer (a very bad girl indeed) are great in this, while Jay Richardson mostly keeps on the endurable side of things as a Sam Spade caricature. Gunnar (Leatherface) Hansen is a bit subdued though; he could have been more of a charismatic baddie but is still decent enough as a looming presence..
