Hollywood – the city with the only X-rated street in America and the most unusual police force in the world. Sex, drugs, blood and guts – it’s all in a night’s work for the Hollywood Vice Squad. Stories about the seedy streets of LA interweave in Penelope Spheeris’ vibrantly offbeat & fast-paced crime / action / comedy: a mother heads to Tinseltown in search of her runaway daughter, while the cops try to get the goods on an evil crime lord, and a policewoman tries to bring down a child pornographer. An incredible cast fills the screen, including Carrie Fisher (!!), Trish Van DeVere, Penitentiary’s Leon Isaac Kennedy, RoboCop’s Ronny Cox, John Travolta’s older brother Joey, a teenage Robin Wright, and Frank Gorshin, perhaps best known as the Riddler on the ‘60s Batman tv show.
