Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)
moviesjoy.plus

*Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers* is a wild, trashy, and absurd 1988 horror-comedy that doesn't take itself seriously for a second. Directed by Fred Olen Ray, the film is pure B-movie madness. The plot is basically an excuse for ridiculous chainsaw violence, naked women, and over-the-top gore, all wrapped in a layer of cheesy 80s humor. Private detective Jack Chandler is hired to track down a missing girl and stumbles into a cult of hookers who kill their clients with chainsaws. If you're looking for anything deep, you're in the wrong place—this movie is all about being as outrageous and ridiculous as possible. It’s packed with campy performances, blood-soaked chainsaw action, and one-liners so bad they’re good. The film leans heavily into its B-movie roots and doesn't care who it offends or entertains—just expect blood, boobs, and a lot of chainsaw noise. It's the kind of movie that's meant to be enjoyed with a group of friends who love trash cinema. - **Jay Richardson** as Jack Chandler - **Linnea Quigley** as Samantha - **Michelle Bauer** as Mercedes - **Dawn Wildsmith** as Lori Fred Olen Ray’s signature style of blending horror with humor helped this film secure its place as a cult favorite in the realm of B-movie history. --- [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095312) | [Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA1UeYkDKLs) | Horror, Comedy
