Punk Rock! (1979) – Carter Stevens.

'scum floats, and the bad guy always wins'

A twin-fisted, stridently studly private dick (Wade Nichols) tracks down a runaway junkie skeezer, loses said runaway junkie skeezer, tracks her down again, and find himself up to his immaculately groomed stash in duplicitous NYC doo-doo. Bonus points include, swaggering Nichols being a dead ringer for Maurizio Merli, who shares his predilection for short-fused bellicosity, the nubile girls are all satisfyingly hot & sleazy, the music doesn't suck ALL that bad, and the splendidly skuzzoid travelogue of downer NYC are worth the price of admission alone. A delightfully dingy, porn-hued trawl through Grindhouse heaven, Punk Rock is not only a grimily intriguing historical artefact, the persistently pulpy plot, arbitrary nudity, and soft-boiled badinage are certainly no small part of the fleshly grooviness herein!
