Vice Squad
A film by Gary Sherman
Starring Season Hubley, Gary Swanson and Wings Hauser
Director Gary Sherman in attendance!
When pimp Ramrod (Wings Hauser) is wanted by the police for murder, an undercover detective, Tom Walsh (Gary Swanson), enlists the aid of prostitute Princess (Season Hubley), a loving mother struggling to support her kid, to help capture the fiend.
A highly recommended descent into the sulfurous pit of hell known as Hollywood.
Former soap star and crooner Wings Hauser burst onto the exploitation scene with his intense, over-the-top performance as the psychotic killer pimp Ramrod. Seething and ranting, a homicidal twisted nerve, Hauser is incredible. This is his show all the way, he even sings the theme song “Neon Slime!”
Along the way, Hauser jumps the fence from villain into full-on monster territory, making Vice Squad not only one of the most exciting films you’ll ever see, but one of the scariest as well. In this truly grim urban fairy tale, a hooker named Princess (Season Hubley) must make it through a long night in a very dark forest (the streets of L.A.) without being gobbled up by the big bad wolf (Hauser), who himself is being chased by the mighty hunter (the LAPD detective who earlier allowed him to escape.)
Pure, sleazed-out entertainment from Gary Sherman, the director of Dead & Buried and Raw Meat. Gary Sherman will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film!
