Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)

From the warning at the beginning to the very last cut, HCH is a lot of fun. What really separates it from the bucket-load of 80s crap is the addition of a private dick, unsubtly named Jack Chandler, who provides an occasionally clumsy but primarily enjoyable hardboiled, noir-esque voice-over. His wit and male weaknesses make him a likeable loser. The hookers play up to the scream-queen, comedy/horror stereotypes. It’s a fully self-aware script.
Despite the title there’s very few actual deaths by chainsaw, but having The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Gunnar Hansen oversee them adds an extra in-joke for fans of the genre. The police chief also deserves a mention.
