Frankenhooker (1990) is a black comedy movie directed by Frank Henenlotter and starring James Lorinz as Jeffrey Franken. The film is inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen plays the title character, wearing a fatsuit in the beginning of the movie.
[edit] Plot
Franken is a young 'mad scientist' who re-builds his dead girlfriend using the body parts of prostitutes. The film contains quite a lot of violence, but little gore.
[edit] Trivia
"Frankenhooker" was released on home video in both rated and unrated versions. The unrated version has considerably more nudity than the cut version that has played on TV over the years.
However, "Frankenhooker" is perhaps best known for its unique interactive VHS cover box. When the subway lamp post was pressed by the customer, the box spoke back the line, "Wanna date?" from the film.
