NEW WAVE HOOKERS (1986)


 The 80's were a decade when porn was steadily on the decline.  Shooting on video took over and films were dying off due to the comparable expenses involved.  Despite this The Dark Brothers churned out some memorable titles in this decade, two that I recall most vividly are LET ME TELL YA BOUT WHITE CHICKS and this one here.  It seems that the brothers style of script-writing consisted of throwing random elements into a hat and picking them out.  How else would you explain Jamie Gillis playing a Japanese punk rock pimp and another guy who is half dog/half telephone?  It's these random scatterbrained elements that make this throwback to the VHS age such an interesting watch.
 There seems to be at least 3 different versions of this movie floating around.  The original one features an underage Traci Lords, this one, at least here in America is technically illegal.  The second version has Traci replaced on the video box with Ginger Lynn and Lords scene cut out and the 3rd is a weird one with all the racist dialogue cut out.  Did I mention this movie is jam-packed with racist moments? You get Mr. Gillis calling his partner(played by the guy who also played the black guy "Sticks" on HAPPY DAYS) a negro(in a super-exaggerated Japanese stereotypical accent) constantly amongst other politically incorrect moments.  I guess upon later release they didn't want a stupid filthy nonsensical porn featuring people selling women's bodies to offend any sensitive viewers?  I was lucky enough to catch this playing in a crazy little theater recently and it was worth trekking out of my basement of doom for.
 There were 5 sequels throughout the 90's which didn't really have anything to do with the original story and a sorta remake/homage in 2006 called NEU WAVE HOOKERS.  I might check those out if I didn't already know that more modern-day porn is for the most part a complete waste of time.
