The Frankenstein legend gets stitched up by the makers of "BASKET CASE" and "BRAIN DAMAGE" in this outrageous horror comedy. When his pretty fiancee "goes to pieces" under the blades of a runaway lawnmower, aspiring mad scientist Jeffrey Franken hatches an unorthodox scheme to bring his beloved back to life. He reassembles his girlfriend from the body parts of New York prostitutes. But his dreamgirl runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks that literally make people's head spin. Can Jeffrey still find true love? Or has he created a monster?

Summary: LOVE IT!
Comment: I love this movie! It is cheesy and inappropriate in the best of ways. Total B movie. Nudity, drug use, exploding mannequins, pimp stereotypes and lots of [...]. But if you can handle that, and would like to see a mad scientist-esque character piecing together a new body out of hookers for his recently deceased fiance then this movie is well worth watching!!! The ending is fabulous as well as fabulously unexpected! I love this movie and I love my friend for introducing me to it. :)

Summary: There is "camp" and there is just plain boringly bad.
Comment: This one comes under the second heading. After reading all the great reviews I ordered FRANKENHOOKER. I wish I hadn't. We did the "all sit down and have popcorn while enjoying a funny movie" sort of thing and it was a total bust -- even though the popcorn was good.
Let's ignore the fact the case the movie was in wasn't in very good shape. That isn't the fault of the film. My problem was, even thought I've been a fan of bad movies for years, they have to have some substance underneath the silliness. While there were a few ok moments, like when he was trying to find the right girls to bring home, for the most part we were all bored with it. I did like Louise Lasser as his mother.
I saw where one reviewer referred to this film as "side splitting and sexy". Maybe it's just me, then. I really didn't see anything like that in this one. I guessing you have to be in the right mind-set to really get into FRANKENHOOKER -- and obviously we weren't.

Summary: The Labor of Love
Comment: Good old Frank Henenlotter.
The man who brought us Basket Case 1-3, & Brain Damage,
offers up a movie, that asks alot of intriguing scientific questions.
Questions like:
Ever wonder what you would do if your wife were horribly mutilated
by a remote-controlled lawnmower.
Would it be possible to resurrect her??
What if you didn't have too many "whole" parts left??
Could you use some spares from the local brothel??
Would you kill to get the parts to bring her back??
Have you ever wondered what a room full of exploding prostitutes looks like???
Can inserting a power-drill into your skulll really help you think??
And the ever popular;
What are the side effects of Super-Crack???
For the answers,
and to see a human leg launched like a missle,
check out Frank Henenlotter's "Frankenhooker".
It'll make make you laugh 'til you cringe.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Love knows no boundaries........logic included.

Summary: Where's my johnson? Oh god no!!!!!!!!!
Comment: Bill Murray says its the best movie of 1990 on the cover and I agree. Jeffrey Franken(James Lorniz the Andrew McCarthy look-alike) a hack medical student and failing inventor has a job as a garbage man. When his wife(Patty Mullen;Playboy Playmate) meets her demise(death by souped up lawnmower) he plans to bring his love back to life using body parts of crackhead prositutes that were blown to bits by smoking what they think is supercrack! If you like gory cheesy funny horror movies from the 80s and early 90s this one is prolly one of the best. Buy this now you won't be dissapointed.
