Halt mich, küss mich, lieb mich

Wow, what can i say, i LOVE this movie. I've watched it several times, i own it. The characters are so magnified and bold, u can't help but stare at them in awe. There are so many great lines in this movie - it never leaves you bored or understimulated...well, with a borderline psycho/stripper/nympho and a trailer park full of fun how is that possible? I particularly enjoy the striking looks of Max Parrish--where is he since this movie?! And I am also a huge Sabra fan! She is the best. Ex.) "All I have to do is a few pornos, a few beaver shots in Hustler, and then i'll be like the BEST gymnastics instructor at your local YMCA!" ; "Come on titty-f*ck me u know you hate your mother!" Who couldn't love THAT?!!!! RENT THIS MOVIE, SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. Visit your local trailer park today and you will have acquired a newfound respect for its unique brand of culture.

Big studio Hollywood couldn't've made a film like this if they tried. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss me is one hysterical film that had me laughing throughout it's run. I found myself not being able to wait until the slutty nymphet Sabra would come back onto the screen, for every scene she is in is incredibly funny. She delivers her lines with such ease and assurity it was almost as if she was ad-libbing. Also, Sean Young is amazing, as is the incredibly good-looking Max Parrish and Adrienne Shelley (who's obviously not even close to the age of 17, which is the age of her character). DON"T RENT THIS MOVIE, BUY IT!!! I used to watch it on the USA network but they cut out alot of stuff, so I had to bid on it through Ebay because it's not easy to find in stores.

The director allegedly vowed to make the sleaziest movie he could as a condemnation of Hollywood. He succeeded admirably, but it feels more like homage to me.

Dialogue example: "I guess killing your sister, burying your dog, and losing your virginity all in one day is a lot for a girl."

I am not from the it's-so-bad-it's-good school of movie watching. "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or even "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill" (which, by the way, is saluted in this film), has always been just too stoner-stupid for my taste. However, if you create off this concept, well. . .

This film is shot in the colors of sleaze--from Sabra's day-glow spandex to the hues of the trailer court. Everything is there to enhance the camp. This is side-spliting sleaze all the way. I mean, how about the scene where he takes Danni out to dinner with handcuffs on? Or, Sabra's come-on line, "down deep I'm a sensitive and vulnerable girl. Don't let my vibrators and dildos fool you."

Symbolism? How 'bout the Barbie dolls?

Inference with Import? How 'bout the scene where pink-spandexed Sabra walks Gus down the SPCA promenade of death? That'll make you give up topless bars and stroke mags, man.

Hidden treat? Buy the soundtrack. It'll fit nicely next to "Copulatin' Blues"

Weak link? Timmy Leary. The only acting he does effectively is playing dead.

Eli (Max Parrish) accidentally shoots unstable "Twinkle" (Sean Young) after she tries to force him to marry her (at gunpoint). He hides out in a trailer park and becomes involved with an abusive crazy stripper (Andrea Naschak), her sweet kind sister (Adrienne Shelly) and various crazy characters.

An unjustly forgotten black (VERY black) comedy. There's no holds barred but it never crosses the line to become too black. It's well-directed with some VERY strange characters, hysterically funny dialogue, plenty of nudity (even Parrish shows some skin) and all done with gusto by the entire cast. Parrish is tall, handsome and hunky as Eli--the one sane person in the movie. Young isn't in it much but she makes her scenes count. Naschak is OK (if a little too vicious) and Shelly manages to play it sweet and light without becoming too cloying. Also Diane Ladd (who must have been hired for one days work) has a few short scenes.

It's sick but funny as hell. Sample line: "I guess killing your sister, burying your dog and losing your virginity all in one day is a lot for a girl". It's a shame this was barely released and got no attention and STILL remains that way to this day 13 years later. Just great! I give this a 10.

I love this movie! I first caught it at about 4 in the morning on Cinemax, back in the mid-90s and could not stop laughing at the bizarre tale of a con man on the run hiding out in a trailer park with the whitest of trash. While their he meets up with a porn star, a Hungarian movie star, and assorted other oddball characters that make this movie a lot of fun. Max Perrish and Adrienne Shelly both deserved to have better careers than they had after this came out. Both are great in their roles as Eli and the jail bait animal lover who falls in love with him. This might not be for everybody, but those who like an offbeat black comedy may find this well worth checking out. We need a DVD release! There are two versions floating around on VHS, an R rated and an Unrated...the difference coming, I believe, early on in the movie when Sabre first brings the drunken Eli home to her trailer and has her way with him. Despite this scene, the movie is low on the sleaze factor actually, with the only nudity coming from Parrish's butt...and it is kinda strange that they did two versions, but whichever you do manage to pick up (I bought the unrated for about $3) you will probably find it to be a few bucks wells spent.
