This is one of the better movies of the 80's but is not on the "to be put on DVD" list. Why? PUT IT ON "DVD" AND WE WILL BUY IT!!!

This is my all-time favorite thriller and one of the best movies that deals with (as a subplot, at least) the subject of porn. I highly recommend it as a companion piece to Brian De Palma's BODY DOUBLE. The acting is impeccable, especially John Glover as one of the slimiest bad guys in film history, and John Frankenheimer's directing is flawless. It's sad to see that this film, which was a hit in 1986, was not appreciated by most critics at the time and is almost entirely forgotten by most folks today. Having appeared in porn myself once upon a time, this film is much closer to the truth than the disappointing and much-Hollywoodized BOOGIE NIGHTS. Two big thumbs up from this ex-porn actor!

That's what Alan Raimy, played by John Glover, nick-names his blackmailing victim, played by Roy Scheider, in this highly entertaining film. This movie features a trio of of bad guys that is unsurpassed. Roy Scheider finds himself meeting them face to ski mask after a brief affair with stripper "Cindy" played by a young Kelly Preston. Cindy worked at a strip club with Prince protege Vanity, as Doreen. Doreen just happens to be dating Bobby, part of the trio. Bobby is brought to low-life by a thoroughly demented Clarence Williams the Third (Mod Squad). There is a great scene where Bobby comes into Doreens apartment while she's asleep. Bobby thinks Doreen gave Scheider the info to find out who and where they are. To insure she's telling the truth when she says she never told him...he almost suffocates her with her own giant teddy bear. Then hilariously, after she is completely terrified, and he satisfied she's been truthful, he tells her to "get some rest." Sure! >There is also the pathetic Leo, third man in the trio, but he's more like Alan and Bobby's gofer. He's weak, and folds easily under pressure.>Meanwhile, Scheider's affair ends up video-taped by the trio while in a hotel with Cindy, and the trio then gets a hold of him to show him a video tape where they use his stolen gun to shoot and murder her. From there, the trio tries to extort money from Scheider, but all he and politcal wife Ann-Margret can afford is $52,000...hence the title.>This movie has a great feel, pacing, and really keeps you interested throughout. John Glover as Alan Raimy, leader of the gang, and porn king who runs an X-rated movie theatre, is highly amusing. He enjoys video-taping homemade porno movies, and calling Scheider "Sport." He thinks he's got Scheider just where he wants him, but finds out soon enough, his is a losers game. >This is a great John Frankenheimer masterpiece, and like many great films, will end up missed by most. If you've read this review though, maybe I've convinced you to check it out. You'll be riveted beginning to end, guaranteed.

This is a great thriller. The two leads Scheider and Glover, have never been better than here. I still rate the performances as their best ever. -This I'm sure, is partly because everything is right around them; the script, the directing, etc. It's just a very exciting movie. The rest of the actors involved are interesting too, but I found the wonderful Doug McClure sadly underused in this movie. -What a waste. Also look out for some famous faces from the adult film world; like Amber Lynn, Jamie Gillis, Tom Byron, and Frankenheimer-regular Ron Jeremy who got cut out of the disappointing "Ronin" recently. (Probably the reason it was so boring.) See this one instead.

A real sleeper. I never heard of this and someone told me to rent it. It has Ann Margaret, Roy Scheider, and introduces both Kelly preston and John Glover.
