Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Scott LeBrun Jay Richardson plays Jack Chandler, a private eye hired to locate a missing girl, Samantha (Linnea Quigley). His search leads him to a maniacal cult of sadistic prostitutes who'd rather cut up their johns than have sex with them. Their weapon of choice is chainsaws, of course, so it only makes sense that the crazy priest leading them is played by Gunnar "Leatherface" Hansen.Co-writer / producer / director Fred Olen Ray has never exactly made high art, but his joyously sleazy B movies have most often been great fun. This one has the bonus of actually being INTENTIONALLY funny, taking a tongue in cheek approach to its material. The humour starts with the deft parodying that Ray does of the entire film noir genre, complete with offbeat narration by Jack. Some of the lines are pretty amusing.There's bountiful amounts of bare skin courtesy of our sexy female cast. B movie perennials Dawn Wildsmith and Michelle Bauer are both fun to watch. The colourful cast also includes Fox Harris ("Repo Man") as Hermie the photographer, Michael Sonye (a.k.a. Dukey Flyswatter(!)) as the bartender, Jimmy Williams as the unlucky Bo, and Dennis T. Mooney as Harrison the police detective. Quigley is adorable as always, Richardson is highly engaging, and Mr. Hansen contributes an agreeable, low key turn as the bad guy.The tacky, bargain basement gore is a hoot, as is the catchy pop soundtrack.In conclusion, let me just say that you haven't lived until you've seen The Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaws.Eight out of 10.

kclipper The legendary, hard-bodied Scream Queen, Linnea Quigley stars in this sleazy B-movie horror-comedy that truly delivers all the sexy stripping and chainsaw wielding glory! Directed by Fred Olen Ray, this dime-store classic is a tribute to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and belongs in the same realm as the sequential Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 which has the same unique 80s look and feel.The big city of L.A. is the setting, and a crazed religious cult of hookers worship chainsaws and hack up unsuspecting johns according to the ceremonial rituals established by leader (Gunnar Hansen), who was 'Leatherface' from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. All throughout the madness, fed up but determined private eye Jay Richardson chases L.A.'s night life with pretty girls and severed body parts all leading up the center of the evil sect's most important ceremonial rite.This has all of the elements of the typical 80s horror camp comedy; cheesy gore FX, plenty of nudity, and it never takes itself seriously enough to be confused with later chainsaw venues. Linnea Quigley is in her prime, and the gorgeous Penthouse Pet and B-movie goddess, Michelle Bauer shines as the deadly, Elvis-loving 'Mercedes' with the perfect body, charm and demented eyes.The action is combined with humor to form the perfect blend of political satire, goofy quotes and in-jokes all adding up to the an impressive climatic performance entitled; 'The Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaw'! Beneath all of the dirty L.A. sleaze and slime, this little flick has a charming quality about it that still entertains its audience 20 years later.

Michael_Elliott Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1987) * 1/2 (out of 4)This film seemed to become a cult favorite before it was even released due to the wonderful title and the VHS cover that featured some beautiful women carrying a large chainsaw. The movie deals with a P.I. (Jay Richardson) trying to locate a missing girl (Linnea Quigley) and discover a group of hooker who are chopping and dicing men with their chainsaws for a mysterious stranger (Gunnar Hansen). The title alone makes this a cult item but there's very little here to actually make a good movie. Horror fans will like seeing the cult genre stars and there's plenty of nudity but there's not enough here to carry the short 76-minute running time. We can start with some of the good stuff, which includes the rather non-stop nudity from the beautiful cast members. No one will ever accused Quigley and Michelle Bauer of not being incredibly attractive so seeing them running around in their birthday suits will certainly give many a reason to check this film out. The death scenes are all incredibly silly with fake looking body parts being thrown around along with buckets of fake looking blood. The few death scenes look campy enough to put a smile on your face but there's not nearly enough for a film like this. One really bad thing in the movie are all the lame jokes dealing with the Private 'Dick'. These jokes are quite childish and sadly they're never funny and we have to put up with way too many of them. The performances are what you'd expect from a film like this but outside the beauties we do get to see Hansen outside his Leatherface role. The movie has way too many dry spots to really work but I'm sure the title and the cast will have this thing getting new viewers for many years to come.

KGB-Greece-Patras Hehe, apart from chainsaw-horror completists, this should also be viewed by silly b-movie/exploitation fans. With quite enough blood and at times funny quotes, this is for an easy night with friends and beer. Again, don't take this for serious horror because that;s not the case! Serious horror fans could actually hate this.
