Furs on Film – Hit and Run (1982)
It’s time to dig through the VHS bin and see what turns up. What’s this? Something with nary a Wikipedia entry in sight? Depending on whom you ask, the 1982 or 1983 version of Hit and Run is a mere footnote in cinematic history. It’s also on Tubi, so don’t ask me where you can…

Furs on Film – I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses (1978)
Oh la, la, an official “Video Nasty” this week. While many of my updates are of nasty films, it’s because they are, in fact, terrible in most artistic senses. I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses made an official list. I’m not sure how this stacks up to Cannibal Apocalypse, but I’ll assume British censors only…

Furs on Film – Sharky’s Machine (1981)
It’s time to take another trip down the hazy memory roads of GenX. While that includes me, I was just six then, so my access to R-rated movies was slightly diminished. The good news is that you’re not wrong, but your nostalgia filter is turned up a little high. Sharky’s Machine has a good fur…

Furs on Film – I’m Shy, But I’ll Heal (1978)
3 minutes·

“There was never a theme” month concludes with a bit of vintage ‘70s comedy from France. I’m Shy, But I’ll Heal (original French title: Je suis timide mais je me soigne). The film is a standard throwback to the days when “lovable loser gets the girl” is a common theme, instead of “sex pest stalks…

Furs on Film – The Happy Hooker (1975)

The Happy Hooker is a 1975 film mostly known for spawning two sequels with ever-decreasingly renowned actresses in the lead role. For the first one, we get Lynn Redgrave to add an air of credibility to the proceedings. I’ll probably get around to the sequels later, maybe a two-for-one, but this one can stand on…

Furs on Film – Piercing (2018)
How do we know the 2018 film Piercing is set in the 1980s? Is it the poorly animated “Feature Presentation” graphic that opens it and the digitally inserted VHS artifacts during the production credits? Is it the taxis and phone booths? Is it the upscale call girl using a hotel landline? No, it’s the blue…

Furs on Film – Red (2010) & Red 2 (2013)

Films with genuine fur from a year that starts with a “2”? Yes, it is possible. This is why you jerks should stop turning your noses up at anything in black and white. I’m gonna run out of these a lot faster. I almost feel like there needs to be an asterisk next to this…

Furs on Film – The Gumshoe Kid (1990)
4 minutes·

·
It’s VHS time! While I love the 80s, there is quite a bit of media from that time that is only available in postage stamp resolution by modern standards. So forgive the lower quality; AI upscaling can only do so much at this point. I hereby swear, should The Gumshoe Kid be released with a…

Furs on Film – Dolls (1987)
It’s almost Halloween, so let’s discuss a Stuart Gordon film. You know, Re-Animator, From Beyond, and… Dolls. Yes, this is not one of Gordon’s cult classics, but his third film, and he is only three away from his future masterpiece, Robot Jox. While this one was a little early for the evil doll movie renaissance…

Furs on Film – The First Wives Club (1996)
3 minutes·

·
At this rate, I’ll be done with the ‘90s pretty soon. The First Wives Club probably lands in that gray area where the costume designers (correctly) figured the “elite” were still wearing furs even though the post-80s backlash was in full swing. So, we get some real fur by way of authenticity, which is still…
