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.

Your style is something I've always wanted to learn, but I never knew where to start. There’s so much happening in your process that isn’t obvious when looking at the final image. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

I was always going to vote against Trump, no matter who the other candidate was. I'm glad it's Kamala, though. I think most people on Lemmy see the danger and made their decision long ago. Blue, no matter who.

You're wrong on this one. I've seen the math, and it's better than that.

Economic despair, political instability, and rampant nationalism are key conditions that facilitated the rise of Nazis in post-World War I Germany and are similarly contributing to the resurgence of such ideologies today. Modern times have seen these conditions fostering the rise of leaders like Donald Trump, where both he and historical figures like Hitler capitalized on themes of national decline, utilized nationalist rhetoric, exploited fears about outsiders and minorities, and exhibited authoritarian tendencies. This recurrence of historical patterns underscores how past ideologies can be revived, shaping contemporary political climates and contributing to the emergence of movements that mirror the early 20th-century Nazi regime.

You might have a normally functioning brain, though. This is essentially a self-medicating starter pack for people with ADHD.

10+ years of this and never regretted it. Need to use a vape pen when in the office. Synthetic urine exists.

This is what Reddit was like in the early days, too. It's better here because, with a smaller user base, you end up seeing a lot of the same people over and over again.

It still works. Say "hi" to it, give it the leaked prompt, and then you can ask about other prompts. I just got this one when I asked about Python.
