The title alone gets it a bunch of points. SUPER CRACK.

Fun romp with playful ideas. Some nice nods mixed in here and there while still making a mark of its own.

aw man i definatly overlooked this one for way too long. It surpassed my expectations by a long shot and was overly entertaining. The plot alone is hillarious, if you try and explain this movie to someone you cant help but laugh. Also love the effects, feels like the 80s even tho it was 1990. Loved the ending and of course crack smoking exploding hookers. And also the ending just topped it all off beautifully. Loved it.

Great performances from James Lorinz and Patty Mullen and a super (for the budget/time anyway) spectacular montage of exploding hookers. Good times.

Whilst 'Frankenhooker' is probably the least fantastically entertaining and sleazy (although it still is very much so) Henenlotter I've seen to date, it's still an essential watch for any lover of 80s trash. Strangely enough, especially for Frank, 'Frankenhooker's strengths lie less in gore and practical effects, although the latter, especially in the final scenes, are sublime, and more in humor and nostalgia. You can't really go wrong with a film that features a room full of exploding whores.

Its cheap and cheerful, but Henenlotter has three things to his advantage with this adaptation of Frankenstein with more prostitutes and super crack - 1) he has New York (before it was cleaned up) to draw from for atmosphere, 2) he has empathy for his characters despite their perversions, and 3) said perversions and anything bizarre is pushed to its limit, even if it involves latex, making it funnier and/or absurd. Because of this it is an enjoyable sleazy gem in schlock American genre films.

Total garbage, but so over the top ridiculous its entertaining. Zorro the pimp? The hookers exploding on super-crack? Good stuff. Also, the final scene is amazing!

Here's the plot from what I remember. A man's fiancee is chopped up by a lawnmower, he keeps her brain but needs other body parts to bring her back to life, so he creates SUPERCRACK, and tricks some hookers into snorting it. The supercrack makes the hookers explode and he uses their body parts to bring back his girl, but UH OH! She takes on the customs of a hooker, oh dear! For this plot, I give this movie an 80.

Generally a disapointment from the otherwise übersolid Henenlotter. It seems flawed in it's general message, but it does have a few nifty scenes. You can't completely hate a movie that includes a scene with exploding hookers.
