Pleasure Shop on 7th Avenue (1979)
20 Feb 1979 • Thriller • 1h 29m
In New York, two half-bad criminals, Rico, the boss and Bob, a recently released sexual maniac rob the collection of a store and flee with $5,000. The store is protected by the mafia, which immediately unleashes hit men on their trail. They are thus forced to take refuge in the pornoshop run by Lorna, a mafia boss's woman. While Bob starts browsing through pornographic films, Rico is attracted to Lorna, who tries in vain to convince Bob to let her go by doing him a fellatio. The two criminals decide to flee with her as a hostage, then they go to an African American who had charged them with the robbery at the store and force them to follow him in their flight to Canada. Taking advantage of a stop at a service station, Lorna manages to leave a banknote on which she wrote the place where they are heading in the bathroom waste basket. The robbers arrive at a villa which they believe to be deserted to use as a refuge, but they find it already occupied by three students, Frank with his girlfriend Sue and his common friend Faye; the criminals also take the latter hostage and begin to harass and rape the girls and beat the boy. Having found the banknote left by Lorna, the mafia killers locate the robbers' hideout and break in, but are neutralized by the criminals, who flee precipitously without booty, cleverly taken from them by Faye, apparently the most naive girl.
