Summary: They get an arm and a leg- what do we get?
Review: A private eye's case to find a missing girl, leads him into the jaws of a sacrificial chainsaw cult- who want him to be their very special "John".

As a film, it has it's ups and downs. Watching it, even the most crude moments have a provocative side to them. But it always left me wanting more. For instance, the ending. To me, it seemed like such an obvious set-up to have the heroin Linnea Quigley pull out a chainsaw. Especially since her shoulders and entire midsection was blanketed in a trenchcoat, and since we never really know her character's been victimized at all. She could have jumped out with the chainsaw and ended the movie on a more appropriate note. But alas, it flakes.

There is very little plot to this story. And sometimes I want it. A little more dialogue would lend itself to interesting situations affecting the characters, but these people just exist for decoration. Except for Jack, the private eye character. He plays the really worn-out "cop on the beat" character, and with no real passion. Though, there are a few times where he brings some great physicality to the role, include small mannerisms. Such as the way he laughs, or how he reacts to the crazy events happening around him.

I found myself not digging most of the signature chainsaw kills. The one murder I felt actually delivered, was the 'baseball bat' modeling-for-pictures scene. Though the opening seemed to have the best touch, as one girl wraps up her Elvis poster in plastic covering before killing her victim. Also the "Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaws" is a winner- with Linnea running the chainsaw across her collarline at least twice, blowing smoke coming from the saw right into the camera.

Wanting more is the theme of this film. More life for the cult leader, and not enough energy and ambition from this film.

Summary: CHAINSAW'S AND NUDITY!
Review: don't be fooled by the shotty packaging on this dvd it actually comes with a decent amount of extras. this classic b-flick from the eighties is reborn into the dvd generation. although the movie gets a bit slow at points, the comedy and silliness of the dialog("kill it to em'","kill it to em'") makes up for it ten fold. not Fred Olen Rays best work but some of his most memorable. so if you like chainsaw weilding hookers and a fully nude Michelle Bauer. this is the flick for you! with appearances by Gunner "Leaterface" Hansen, portraing the weird leader of the chainsaw cult and scream queen extrodinare Linnea Quigley trying to infiltrate the cult to bring them down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cinematic Geniusness
Review: 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.

Summary: For all you B movie fans
Review: In the tradition of Evil Toons, here is Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers. If you are someone that is into Hollywood high budge movies and is not familiar with the B movie style, proceed with caution. For a B movie, the acting is fairly good in this flick. Poor acting in this movie is far less distracting than in other movies of this nature. Also in the tradition of the B movie style the effects are very low tech and often times way over done, but to the right group of people it is entertainment at its best. So what if twice the amount of blood is spilled during the murder than exists in the entire human body. It's entertainment....remember?
The plot of this movie is way out there, but in a good way. We have hookers in Hollywood murdering people with chainsaws in order to make the chainsaw gods happy. These people also need the fresh blood to keep their leader among the living. The idea of a chainsaw cult is truely unique and pure cheese. A real Fred Olen Ray classic.
If you like Fred Olen Ray's style, grab this movie. If you are affraid of B movies, be very afraid of this movie. It is entertaining from begining to end which is more than we can say about many Hollywood hits. So grab the kids (just kidding due to all the nudity) and enjoy this classic B movie hit.

Review: Jack Chandler is a private eye tracking down a runaway. In his travels, he comes across a gang of chainsaw weilding prostitutes that like to carve people up for their cult. Featuring B Movie Queen Linea Quigley.

Summary: About the DVD
Review: The picture quality of this release is not that bad(by HCH standards) it's a bit grainy and dark, but not to bad. It has been cropped into a widescreen format, compairing this to my PAL video release it crops off a tiny bit at the bottom, a chunk at the top(although this area of screen is seldom used) and it does give you extra picture information on the right side of screen. The extras are fun but just not enough, it has interviews with the stars and Fred Olen Ray presents the disc(reminds me of the troma dvds). It's an okay disc and MILES better than the coaster UK disc but it's a little high on price, if it were a ... disc like Deathstalker II(another good disc) I wouldn't have a complaint. Overall if you like HCH this is the best disc available.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best Movie Ever Made!
Review: This is the greatest movie I have ever seen. Not only does it have a lot of nudity, but a brilliant script as well. Excellent word play and a great score. I have a copy on VHS and DVD and I bought the soundtrack and listen to it in my car. This is classic that will live beyond the end of time!
