Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was shot on short ends. "Short ends" are the parts of film stock that are not processed for developing. If only part of a roll of film is actually used, the developer will only develop the part that was used and leave the unused part in the can. The unexposed parts (the short ends) can then be sold for later use. Low budget productions will often buy these since they are sold at a discount price. This can backfire as there is no way of knowing of the quality of the film, which often explains why a low budget production result in a low quality film.
- GoofsDuring one sequence, two women take out Frankenstein's "Monster" car from the film "Death Race 2000" and a lot of footage of the car from that film is used. However, one shot used from "Death Race 2000" of the car driving through a bomb field is actually Machine Gun Joe Viterbo's car, not Frankenstein's.

Featured review
New World self parody
Ultra-cheap even by New World Pictures standards, naive go-getter with stars in her eyes Candice Rialson ("my friends call me Candy") finds herself the reluctant débutante in a z-grade Phillipino actioner when her shonky agent (Miller) signs her up for stunt work in the latest film of the "Miracle Pictures" assembly line. The last stunt girl died as a result of the paltry set conditions but Candy is willing to give almost anything a go if it means an opportunity to make it big. Initially duped into robbing a bank that she thinks is a hidden camera role, "Hollywood Boulevard" chronicles Candy's coming of age as she matures in the sordid, tempestuous industry of exploitation film.
Really just a self parody, directors Dante and Arkush have spared much expense cobbling together this endless parade of in-jokes and raunch, with dialogue to die for ("now get it up, or I'll cut if off") and enough skin to make a porn star blush. Bartel is amusing as the ultra efficient director, desperate to placate his high maintenance leading lady (Woronov) and come in under budget, while Jeffrey Kramer (fresh from "Jaws") trundles out the banal scripts like confetti at a wedding, while wooing Candy on the side.
Lots of bare flesh, flying limbs, simulated sex and corny double entendres to offend almost everybody, and, a bizarre blue grass musical number of zero relevance thrown in for good measure. If you're not a devotee of the New World Pictures experience, then doubtful "Hollywood Boulevard" will be your cup of tea; for everyone else, it's a trademark romp down to the usual standards.
