It's extremely low budget, like many of its 42nd Street grindhouse brethren, yet the exploitation material isn't consistent enough to designate this as a notable effort.

Rated: 2/10

Combustible Celluloid

Director Fred Olen Ray will never be confused with his namesakes Nicholas and Satyajit, but once upon a time he made a pretty entertaining B-movie, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers.

Yikes. Gunnar Hanson and Linnea Quigley are awesome but this movie is horrible. Don’t get me wrong it offers what it promises to deliver but this is just bad. An old school straight to vhs b horror movie.

A private eye searching for a runaway stumbles upon a ring of hookers who belong to an ancient Egyptian chainsaw cult. This is a perfect example of how to really deliver with a genre flick. The title tells you EXACTLY what's being promised and the film delivers EXACTLY what it promises. It has a good cast for delivering on this promise. Michelle Bauer (who looks incredible in this flick) is the main chainsaw hooker. Linnea Quigley is the runaway. Gunnar Hansen is the leader of the cult. Eve Fox Harris from "Repo Man" shows up. The film has lots of nudity, lots of cheap gore and is actually pretty funny in a not-too-challenging way. By the time Quigley is performing the Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaws, anyone who has signed up based on the title will be more than pleased.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Linnea Quigley is a hoot but "Hollywood Chainsaw" could've been a really fun film, instead it's boring.

If your hooker starts covering furniture with sheets of plastic, you better hope she's just a squirter. Otherwise it is highly likely you are about to become a ritualistic sacrifice for a chainsaw worshiping cult. Private I. Jack Chandler better find his perky runaway girl before someone finds him....in pieces. Fun for the whole family this one is.
