Customer Reviews

The funniest low budget film since Faster Pussycat
I'm merely a "mutant hetero" but I found that what the film lacks in technical skill, it more than makes up for in quotability. It needs to be seen multiple times in order to catch and memorize them all.

Bruce La Bruce sure knows all about tragic Hollywood suicides. I'm tempted to order his books now. The sex scenes are certainly not as graphic as "regular" gay porno. What you imagine is much worse than what you actually see on screen. It's not as if there are any close-up penetration shots. Perhaps the razor blade scene with the "Versace Model" (don't want to give away the gag), made me cringe the most.

Not to be taken too seriously, I recommend this film to anyone wants a truly "burnt" midnight movie laugh-fest. It's been the biggest hit among my friends since "Faster Pussycat" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"!

Rent it even if you're not gay!

Good if you just want to be entertained
Hustler White, is a strange tale of two people who are looking for the same thing and don't know how to go about getting it. If you are looking for high art then you don't want to see this movie, if you are looking for somehting with a message again this isn't the movie for you. But if you are into camp and weirdness for camp and weirdness sake then this is just the right film for you. It has a few laughs and you might enjoy the reffernces taken from better films. Again this isn't a movie for all tastes. This movie contains graphic sex and language, not for the faint of heart.

This Movie Is Hilarious
I just rented this movie the other day to watch in my dorm lounge and it damn near killed me. :) What a beautiful world! I live in and love southern california which this film, despite production values, reeks of. Plus, it's got graphic sex, violence, crime, machismo, chase scenes and a happy ending . . . everything silly and seedy (yet fun!) that queers get left out of in straight films. Plus, it's a welcome relief from the sappy, shallow, straight-pandering gay films (read: Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss) that make it mainstream. And, unlike mainstream gay films (read: Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss), it's got black people! (and ones that myself as a black queer absolutely *loved*. Bless you dr. davis! I *love* that scene: "that was not a rape. merely an exercise in black power.")
 Though the movie is better served with LaBruce's autobiography The Reluctant Pornographer, which shows this particular work of art to be the result of something greater. Plus, it helps to understand his blend of sincerity and camp that's evident in the film. :) I came here to buy it!
