Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe film cost $1.5 million making it Henenlotter's most expensive (at the time), but there were still budgetary issues. The producers told him they had used up all of the allotted funds for pyrotechnics during the exploding hookers scene to which he replied "How the fuck am I gonna film the lab scene?!" He ended up calling in a favor to do some "unlicensed pyrotechnics" for the shoot. Lorinz recalls the guy finishing the setup and telling him "Don't worry, it's maybe safe."
- PatzerThe muscle chart that Franken is drawing on with the red sharpie in the beginning show the breasts as muscles. That is anatomically incorrect.
- Zitate
[Jeffrey talks to his mother for comfort]
Jeffreys Mother: Oh, Jeffrey... I'm worried about you.
Jeffrey Franken: Yeah - Well so am I, Ma. Something's happening to me that I just don't understand. I can't think straight anymore. It's like my reasoning is all, uh, twisted and distorted, you know? I seem to be disassociating myself from reality more and more each day. I'm anti-social. I'm becoming dangerously amoral. I - I've lost the ability to distinguish between right from wrong, good from bad. I'm scared, Ma. I mean, I feel like I'm - I'm plunging headfirst into some kind of black void of sheer and utter madness or something.
Jeffreys Mother: You want a sandwich?
- Crazy CreditsNo animals or people were killed or injured in the making of this movie.
- Alternative VersionenThe unrated version, which runs about 1 minute and 45 seconds longer, includes longer scenes, and shows more nudity and violence, especially the prostitutes and the blow-up scenes. It originated as a 'Not Rated' VHS that could be rented from mom & pop video stores, but has since been released on DVD and Blu-ray by Synapse Films.

The cult "Frankenhooker" is one of the best black-comedies ever made. The plot is a grotesque joke with "Frankenstein", but the result is hilarious. James Lorinz and Patty Mullen steal the film with cynical and lovely performances. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Frankenhooker - Que Pedaço De Mulher" ("Frankenhooker - What a Piece of Woman")
