Quote:
In The Hang Up, middle-aged vice squad cop Robert Walsh (Gregory) has been reduced to dressing up in drag (complete with a terrifying red wig) to frequent local bars and break up all that nasty corruption. The debauchery here is appalling, complete with a peroxide blonde in a men's suit doing a floor show with another woman in a negligé who strips to her skivvies and rubs her silicone implants. Appalling! As it turns out, his latest drag assignment involves catching phony cops blackmailing gay clients, which climaxes with Robert punching out and head butting one of the perps until his wig goes flying across the room. However, Walsh is disgusted by his surroundings as he vents his distaste for hookers, homosexuals, and child molesters, the targets of his trade.
His home life is a depressing shambles, living in a shabby apartment where he sits around shirtless sipping on Coors and having terrible sex on the bathroom floor with his landlady. However, he soon becomes fixated on Angel (Matt), a The Hang Upyoung lady from Salinas employed by the local massage parlor / brothel, who claims she's only been in this racket for a week. He slips Angel out of the place before a raid and takes her under his wing, with the establishment's face-painted Sweet Trashmaster of ceremonies (Balachoff again) watching the whole thing from afar. He soon chastises her for taking the trash out in her her slip, but she calls him a puritan and argues, "I have a good shape and I like showing it!" Who can argue?
Their attempts to play house thaw out when she reveals her actual name, Laurie, and pacifies him by soaping him up in the shower. The relationship softens up his violent streak at work, much to the chagrin of his partner, and he even starts hanging out with Angel's friends who enjoy regular afternoon activities like topless horseback riding. As it turns out, the girl's hiding a sordid secret that could take Bob down for good, which leads to a third act you'll never believe involving a bevy of scantily-clad models parading around a dirt road, jazz music, blackmail, a tragic car chase, and one of the tackiest lines in exploitation history, "I'll rape you good!"
