New Wave Hookers

This flick is considered one of the real milestones in porn. It had this edgy, punk rock sound track as opposed to the lousy elevator music you normally hear with most porn flicks. There were two outstanding performances in this film.

• One features an unknown Ginger Lynn in her first on-screen double penetration.. Ginger is a beautiful young hooker servicing two geeky college guys. If you never see anything else with Miss Lynn, you gotta see her in this movie.

• The other clip is a threesome that had to be edited out because it featured Traci Lords, who was under 18 when they filmed the scene. (I saw the unedited version of NWH when it was still legal and Lords performance was so incredible.)

Revisited the Dark Bros. classic and it holds up for the most part. In the era of no holds barred gonzo it may not play as extreme as it did, but it's still a hell of a fun ride. As politically incorrect as it could possible be, it manages to balance the artistic creativeness of a Rinse Dream film like CAFE FLESH with a seedy, sleazy punk aesthetic. While the ideas here well solidify and be perfected in Dark's DEVIL IN MISS JONES PART 3&4, the amazing cast and banging soundtrack make this one a recommended film.

I haven't ever seen the version of this with Traci Lords as the devil. It might have been at the movies, but that version might have been re-cut, too. Now I remember. The Traci/devil scene was shown while I was in the men's room, but the rerun was recut. Most of the trash talk between Jamie Gillis and Jack Baker seems to have been read from bathroom walls, too. It was really a plus for Traci to have her five minutes clipped out. Much has been made of the Ginger Lynn scene with two frat boys, one of which is Tom Byron. Ginger considers it her favorite and is rumored to warm herself up to another film shoot by watching it. Without this part the movie is somewhat cheap and weakly plotted. Steve Powers plays a dog that makes a sound like the phone's ringing. Cheap enough? The girl in roller skates comes across second best, and the three girls doing some belt tie bondage on a turntable is one to skip unless you're a fan of that genre. Like others have noted, poor lighting and closeups in the wrong places or not enough of them keep this from rising above the run of the mill. PS: I've seen the Traci Lords as the devil version again a few days ago. With that, I give the movie 8 stars.

I remember watching this film in the eighties as a teenager. But i wanted to see it again, because Traci Lords is now earning a living as a "serious actor". What the hell was going on in the eighties? This is a really bad film with bad taste and bad actors. Definitely a waste of money.

New Wave Hookers is great because of the way it is presented. The movie never takes itself too seriously, like some of the other early to mid eighties pornos. Jack Baker and Jamie Gillis are hilarious in this flick, as two pimp daddies makin' cash and playing that new wave music. And speaking of music, the soundtrack featuring the Sockets and the Plugs will have you humming (no pun intended, sorry Mr. President) all the way to work the next day. This is way pornos should be, and they just don't make them as well anymore (not even NWH Part 5). A classic! Ya gotta love Ginger!
