Goofs

On the audio track, Xaviera says, "Call Jake at the lab and make sure we'll have the film by six", but you can see her mouth the words "by four". A few seconds later, Maxine says "six o'clock" twice, but you can see she said "four o'clock" both times.

Quotes

Warkoff: [to Xaviera] I'm willing to let bygones by like spilled milk, so why don't you let sleeping dogs do that and let me make it up to you?

User Reviews

How A-Dult (as we say here) can this get?????

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!
