History WebVideo / TheHookerWithAHeartOfGold

A five part internet special written and directed by [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad Jones]]. It tells the story of an unnamed [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold hooker]] (played by Sarah Lewis from Team Snob) who has a [[MadeFromRealGirlScouts literal heart of gold]] surgically implanted into her body at the hands of a fringe, out-of-work doctor named Dr. Rogen. The doctor is desperate for his experiment to succeed so that he may pay off an insane gangster named Steele. It just so happens Steele's twin brother, Zalman, is the aforementioned hooker's pimp, both of them being masterfully played by Brad Jones himself.

* ActorAllusion: Zalman makes references to low budget films much like the Snob does. Both of his performances have shades of the Snob character, if the Snob were a sociopath.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Well, more evil. Dr Rogen operated on Steele, after which Steele became considerably more unhinged and sadistic. We're not told why, but Dr Rogen probably did not have any anaesthetic...

--> '''Don''': If you just planned on dismissing me, why d'you fuck me all those times?

* DrugsAreBad: Averted. The Hooker's cocaine habit only seems to make her stronger, and Dr Rogen theorises that it might make the heart work more efficiently. No {{anvilicious}} statement here.

For the trope this special is loosely based on, see HookerWithAHeartOfGold.

What follows in an incredibly well written and well edited homage to all of Brad Jones' favorite film genres, from exploitation to revenge to low budget snuff films that never saw the light of day (and thankfully never did). Jones' [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome choice of soundtrack]] really steals the show, though. His love of all kinds of music, from [[TheSeventies 70's soul and disco]] to old school rock and roll to beloved hits of the [[TheEighties 80's]], really shines here and adds to the overall film.

Tropes included:

* TheDanza: [[MindScrew Subverted]]. Dr. Rogen ''looks'' like SethRogen, but is not played by him, a fact [[WordOfGod even the director can't get his head around]].

* NiceGuy: Dr. Rogen.

* ActingForTwo: Brad Jones, who plays brothers Zalman and Steele, two of the main villains.
* ActionGirl: The hooker, especially in part 2.
* ActorAllusion: Zalman (played by Brad Jones) makes reference to low budget films much like the Snob does. In fact, his whole performance as both Zalman and Steele is very Snob-like, if he were a sociopath.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Well, more evil. Dr Rogen operated on Steele, after which Steele became noticeably and considerably unhinged and sadistic. We're not told why, but Dr Rogen probably did not have any anaesthetic...
* BestServedCold: [[spoiler: Steele goes after the hooker for killing Zalman and Rogen for protecting the hooker, while the hooker goes after Steele and co for stealing her heart and killing her.]]

* DoggedNiceGuy: Zig-zagged. Don's in love with the hooker, while she hates him. In Part 2, he pretends that he's only attracted to her for her body.

** In part 4, [[spoiler: Janet tries to escape from Steele's house. She makes it outside... and then he casually walks over to her.]]

--> '''Don''': So then, why did you fuck me all those times?

* NoodleIncident/ FridgeHorror: We never do find out [[spoiler: how Steele's old girlfriend dies...]]

* BestServedCold: [[spoiler: Steele goes after the hooker for killing Zalman, Rogen for protecting the hooker, and the hooker goes after Steele and co for stealing her heart and killing her.]]

--> '''Hooker''': Because you ''paid'' me, jackass!

* DoggedNiceGuy: Zig-zagged. Don's in love with the hooker, while she hates him. He pretends that he's only attracted to her for her body.

* DrugsAreBad: Averted. The Hooker's cocaine habit only seems to make her stronger. No {{anvilicious}} statement here.

** In part 4, [[spoiler: Janet tries to escape from Steele's house. She gets outside... and then he casually walks over to her.]]

* NoodleIncident/ FridgeHorror: We never do find out what happened to Steele's old girlfriend...

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: Janet develops StockholmSyndrome after Steele starts treating her kindly, to the point that in several scenes in part 5, they actually look like they're married.]]

* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Janet, for Steele]].

* AuthorAppeal: Brad's wife Jillian sure does a lot of sexy things in this movie ...

* TheDragon: Don and Mike

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: The hooker totes a ''very'' big gun in part 2.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Don takes a while to get there, but in the end he shoots Steele in the back, allowing Dr. Rogen and The Hooker to live.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:[[spoiler: Don, ultimately]]

* DoggedNiceGuy: Averted. Part 1 makes it look like Don and the hooker have feelings for each other- he wants her to be with him- but part 2 reveals that he's only attracted to her body, and he thinks she's a real bitch.

* AskAStupidQuestion: From Part 1:
--> '''Don''': So then, why did you fuck me all those times?
--> '''Hooker''': Because you ''paid'' me, jackass!

What follows in an incredibly well written and well edited homage to all of Brad Jones favorite films genres, from exploitation to revenge to low budget snuff films that never saw the light of day (and thankfully never did). Jones' [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome choice of soundtrack]] really steals the show, though. His love of all kinds of music, from [[TheSeventies 70's soul and disco]] to old school rock and roll to beloved hits of the [[TheEighties 80's]], really shines here and adds to the overall film.

* ActionGirl: The hooker.

* PunchClockVillain: Mattie and Don, who unlike the other bad guys don't seem to derive pleasure out of doing bad things all that much.

* ShoutOut: Probably unintentional, but as you recall, The Hooker's cocaine habit ''makes her stronger'', like one [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Snowflame]].

* CastIncest: The actors who play Doctor Rogen and the hooker are married, as are the actors who play Steele/Zalman and Janet

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:[[spoiler: Don,ultimately]]

* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Janet, for Steele]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: Say, did you ever like Neil Young's "Heart of Gold"? [[spoiler: You ([[{{YMMV}} maybe]]) won't after seeing Part 4!]]

* NintendoHard: Zalman is fond of old really horrible NES video games and forces his accomplice to play them non-stop at gun point. A possible ShoutOut to WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.
