Warning: Watch your wallets and stay out of the bathroom In a bygone era, when Times Square was crammed with porn shops, gun stores, and drug pushers, disenfranchised moviegoers flocked to the grindhouses along 42nd Street. If the gore epics, women-in-prison films, and shockumentaries showcased within their mildewed walls didn\'t live up to their outrageous billing, the audience shouted, threw food, and even vandalized the theaters.

The Deuce was the most intense block on which one could ever hope to see a movie. The main venues were grindhouses, down-at-the heels creations left over from the Minsky\'s Burlesque days-and showcases for the wildest and most extreme films in cinematic history. Their disenfranchised audience were film\'s harshest critics, demanding that the exploitation movies the theaters screened lived up to the promises made by their graphic, outrageous ad campaigns and shocking trailers. If the movies let them down, the audience would react by shouting, tossing food containers, and physic
