| New Wave Hookers (1985) Re-Release Edition Cover |
Well, now here’s a very popular movie that you may already have seen, or haven’t seen, I don’t know what the person reading this will think. However, if you are going to consider the most famous of adult movies, and you do not consider “New Wave Hookers” as one of them, then you’re truly missing out on something grand. This is one of the most controversial movies ever put to hardcore cinema, and the way it is shot, I can truly say that this was meant to be seen in movie theaters. You truly needed to be sitting in a red cloth cushioned seat, and your feet stuck to the ground with bubble gum, soda stains, and cum from the previous patron of the theater that you’re in. This is a movie that changed the industry in some ways, and it brought to light Ginger Lynn and Traci Lords once again. It’s a film, that has been written about by a lot of people, and has been released not once, but twice overall. In fact, you are going to wonder why you don’t have this in your collection, and honestly, I thought about that myself when I first saw this. This spawned a lot of sequels, all of which I will be reviewing, but to start things off, we are going back to 1985 to see what is going on with the original edit of “New Wave Hookers”, because that’s the one everyone wants, and that’s the one I picked up while I was in Europe. You cannot buy the original edit in the United States, but the only major thing that is different is that Traci Lords is NOT in the edited version. She plays the devil, and boy, oh boy, you’re going to love it if you’re a fan. If not, then you are not going to miss much, as the editing is quite good overall. For this review, I’m going to be talking about the original version first, then the edited version second, which isn’t too far and away different.
The story of “New Wave Hookers” is one of great fantasy. Two friends are watching porn and fall asleep. In their dreams, they dream of being pimps and having women as part of their service, and they are all attracted to New Wave Music, becoming aroused and wanting to get some. That is the premise of the movie, and the music was done by The Plugz and The Sockets. The soundtrack to this porno movie is epic in my opinion, and it’s something that is just grand. When this movie came out it premiered in Los Angeles, and it was in front of the world-famous Pussycat Theater, a theater that I got to visit a few times before it was turned into an arthouse cinema place. Of course, I’m talking about the one that was in Santa Monica, but is now just playing art and smaller indie films, if it’s even still there.

The cast of this movie will no doubt bring about a lot of memories for people, and includes Brooke Fields, Desiree Lane, Gina Carrera, Ginger Lynn, Greg Rome, Jack Baker, Jamie Gillis, Kimberly Carson, Kristara Barrington, Peter North, Rick Cassidy, Steve Powers, Steve Drake, and of course Tom “Freakin” Byron. Oh, one last thing, the original edit had Traci Lords playing the devil, and masturbating in red lingerie. This was edited out completely for the re-release in 1986 after the supreme court ruling on her film work. The fifth scene is also removed which featured Traci Lords and Rick Cassidy. The updated version is only 75 minutes long, but the original had a little longer of a run time.
The movie takes some time to set up. It’s not a fast movie at all. In fact, you’re going to find that it’s a little slow, and why not? This was meant to be seen in a movie theater. It feels that way throughout the movie, and I love that about some of the movies I’ve been reviewing thus far. I write that line, but honestly, within 12 minutes, there’s a sex scene, so maybe I’m just romanticizing the movie’s pacing. The first major scene is an odd one, as 3 guys are involve, but only one of them is having sex at first, before a Debbie Harry looking woman gives one guy a blow job while another does doggy, and another masturbates to it all. This is a punk rock, anarchy scene with New Wave Music, and truly speaks to the era, it’s fascinating to say the least. Although, it’s not very “sexy”.
In another scene, we get a young, and I say young looking Peter North pounding away. But after seeing a few movies where he’s a star, it’s interesting to see that he’s not that into it at times. In this movie he’s ok, he’s doing his thing, but he doesn’t seem to be that into it, or perhaps the chemistry is not really there. He seems to literally be “working”, which always throws me off a little. Don’t get me wrong, he is performing, and there is a sensuality to his work in this movie, but it’s obvious that he’s concentrating, and really in “work” mode, more than having fun. At least that’s what I get from this movie, and some of his other work, and perhaps that’s why he is in so many movies, because he is a professional, which is fine.
If you’re a fan of Ginger Lynn, then you’ll love her makeup and her performance here. She enters into the frame after some time and goes fully into her scene with double penetration. The DP element in this is sexy, and raw, and Ginger looks to be absolutely having fun, while the two guys seem to be enjoying the process as well. The editing and lighting here is good, with visuals that let you see everything, although there is a few funny shots of balls hanging around. Ginger has a way of making the scene look sexy, and not “raunchy” and it’s a true fantasy that I loved from this film. She has something grand in this scene where she’s wearing yellow heels, and I’m just impressed, and a little turned on.

The next scene is somewhat forgettable, featuring a new comer to the porn arena for me, I didn’t recognize her, but the two main characters get to share her in their pimp office. I kid you not, it’s a pimp office. It’s not a bad scene, but I had the feeling that the movie really was trying to have some filler because after this one, on the original edit, you’d get the scene that would be deleted, and that is featuring Traci Lords and Rick Cassidy. Don’t get me wrong, the foursome that occurs before that features some good overall sex, but it just isn’t as good, but it still features some punk, ethos. If you’ve seen the movie, you know what I mean, as there’s a “punk” element of editing to the movie, and eventual money shot across a lot of hair. This is not a joke. Although, in a weird sequence, the three guys wipe the cum all over the woman’s face, and she seems to have loved it. I don’t know, it’s a performance, right? I guess so.
For those that have the original edit of this video, you either bought it when it was first released, saw it in theaters and pirated it, or you bought it in Europe, Japan, or other countries. It is not available in the United States, at least not at retail. Maybe at auction? Traci Lords has another porn scene, and if you’re a fan of hers, then you will most likely enjoy this one. She is dressed as the devil, and Rick Cassidy takes time to rim quite a bit, alongside other oral elements. This is a scene that really is a textbook on how to treat a lover if you ask me, which you didn’t. Give her pleasure, forget yourself, and she’ll return. Lords does turn things around, with long black boots, amidst fog, a white bed, and her trademark hair and screams. This is not a marathon scene mind you, and the transitions are changed, so you see missionary to other positions, to doggy style without the in between. Rick goes all the way in here, and just continues until he’s 100% done and the money shot is on Lords’ back and that’s it. This is not a long scene, mind you, but when it is cut, it definitely has a missing element. The edited version is still good, but it definitely is missing this scene after the fact, and you’ll only know if you saw the original like I did.

The end sequences that come after the hour mark has some artistic merit. The guys run into another room, and as they go there, there’s a merry-go-round of 3 women spinning, with red, and black. They are dressed in torn up shirts, and heels, and the guys come in and enjoy the ending of this movie which is nothing sort of a sexual spin. It’s an artistic way of having an orgy, no doubt, but the lighting and dare I say, the amount of pubic hair may turn you off. This ends and our two heroes get up from their slumber, only to move forward to one last escapade, in the real world. This time featuring Ginger Lynn, and it’s not half bad. The film ends with one guy going outside and driving around, eventually meeting the girl of his dreams, a hooker, and that’s it.
“New Wave Hookers” is one of those classic movies that collectors have in their homes. It was originally on the big screen, and it featured Traci Lords. After her movies were thrown out, Ginger Lynn became the cover girl, and you know what? Lords isn’t that missed if you ask me. Lynn has one hell of a scene, and her makeup and heels are on point, as well as the way she moves, and makes things look so alluring. This is a movie that features some great new wave music, and some hot scenes, although the premise is in fact funny. It’s a serviceable porn movie, no doubt, and one that you may want to pick up.
