Movie Reviews of Frankenhooker
Movie Review: Hey Jersey Boy!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Folks this movie is as outrageous as they come. From the opening credits up until the twisted ending, Frankenhooker is a roller coaster ride of laughs, chuckles, and guffaws. Bless those responsible for this film, as they added a bit of sunlight into my otherwise dreary life.
Jeff is a scientist of sorts. He works for a New Jersey power plant after failing med school. We first meet him in the kitchen as he experiments on a cyclops brain, this of course is during his future father-in-law's birthday party going on right outside.
Well his girlfriend is hacked to pieces as she stupidly demonstrates a remote control lawn mower by standing right in front of it. Jeff manages to save the head, but now must find a bodie suitabole for his beloved. After drilling into his own brain a couple of times (it is his therapy), he decides the best thing to do is to go across the river and get some New York prostitutes. AFter his first visit, he realizes not only are there enough body parts, but he simply cannot decide on which parts he likes best. After meeting with head pimp Zeus, he invents super crack cocaine which causes it's users to explode. So after the big hooker party and exploding prostitutes, Jeff drives the body parts home.
He reassembles his beloved, but with unforseen results. She is a purple haired (and breasted) prostitute who kills on impact with electricity. She escapes to New York, kills a john, a guy in the hallway, then goes to the bar where Zeus recognizes her. Jeff gets to the bar and brings her home. Unbeknownst to him, Zeus is in hot pursuit. When they get back home, Jeff is decaptiated by Zeus who then falls vicitm to the freak in the cooler, which was originally the scraps and unused body parts. Jeff is resurected, but... well... you'll just have to see for yourself.
Things to look for....
1. Check out the cooler in the garage. Sometimes he has to wear gloves when getting body parts out and sometimes he doesn't. When he lifts the head out that has been soaking in chemicals, it is kind of cool how the hair is always dry.
2. When Jeff drives back home with all the body parts, they are plainly visible. His trunk is tied down with a piece of twine with arms and legs hanging out. Comic brilliance.
3. Do you belive this garage??
4. The best looking prostitute is hardly ever seen. She is the huge breasted, pony tailed blonde standing outside on the sidewalk. Too bad she didn't come to the party instead of the prostitute named 'Angel', Lord she was a skank.
5. Jeff is a loony. This schitzophrenic talks to himself constantly, drills holes in his head (there is never any blood by the way), and can make exploding crack cocaine, a state of the art garage/lab, can bring the dead back to life, but cannot handle a single pimp.
6. "Wanna date?!!??"
This movie is a hoot. I love it.
