Giarrettiera tutta matta

If your idea of fun is watching Adam West dance and simulate receiving oral sex, by all means, enjoy. Otherwise, this may very well be the worst movie I've seen made in the 80's. And I've seen SQUEEZE PLAY.

Phil Silvers was in this, too. And Rob Petrie's boss.

"The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood" was one of the first movies made by notorious producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus after they took over Cannon Studios. Even at this stage, they showed here that they could make a decent-looking movie on a low budget (it has the highest production values of the trilogy). There is also a lot of nudity and sex - I think it's safe to say this movie has more sex and nudity than the first two movies combined. And the script has some amusing in-jokes (Silvers' character name "Warkoff" is obviously a sly send-up of B movie producer Samuel Z. Arkoff.)

Unfortunately, despite all this, the movie still doesn't add up to much. There may be all that sex and nudity, but it's directed with such an innocent attitude that it's not the least bit erotic. Silvers is wasted in a role that obviously didn't take long to film. West seems very embarrassed (his career was still in the toilet at the time.) But the biggest problem is that the movie doesn't have that much story. There's only half a story here, the rest being obvious filler.

Only for Golan and Globus fanatics who are determined to watch everything they produced.

The film here is about The Happy Hooker book being transformed into a movie with the help of the author's prostitutes. OK movie with a bunch of filler scenes and a lot of nudity.

The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980) is a movie that was recently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a prostitute who writes a book that does well and goes mainstream. She signs a movie deal that falls apart so she decides to make the movie on her own. Her former investor tries to sabotage her project but she fights through the attempts to try and make a movie as successful as her book.

This movie is directed by Alan Roberts (The Sexpert) and stars Martine Beswick (Thunderball), Chris Lemmon (Wishmaster), Adam West (Batman), Dick Miller (Gremlins), Phil Silvers (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) and Richard Deacon (Birds).

This has a surprisingly impressive cast. Seeing Adam West do a soft porn movie really threw me off. His pool scene had me cracking up. The storyline has a 70s grindhouse feel to it and is fun to watch unfold. The circumstances are really unpredictable. As you would expect, there's a ton of sex and nudity in here, at times awkwardly so; although, the jungle scene was awesome.

Overall, this is a fun sexploitation comedy with a 70s feel to it and an entertaining premise. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend seeing once.

By the way, that's A-dult (A like "ham," dult like the regular saying).

Anyhow, "The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood" is one of those films that are like, "Uhh...I really shouldn't be seeing this stuff!!!!!" Yes, I know this movie is chock full of nudity. I can tell because I heard that Batman is nude in this movie! (The Fox Batman, as you can tell; not the WB Batman!) How surprising, I may never see Batman again! "Holy (insert any word here), Batman! How can you get to that point in your career!," as Robin would say. (I'm sure he'd be nude, too).

That's my reaction to this naughty little flick. Heck, even those bots of MST3K fame would never riff it, because it's that naughty! While this movie gets ten stars, you'll need to bless your home theater center after this for that bad thing you watched on it!!!!! Then, you'll need to find a better flick than this!
