Wolfs gay bar nyc movie#
But also where a bunch of the gay bars were at the time so it makes for great signage for the brutal animalistic movie with a lot of signs mentioning prime meats and beef cuts and whatnot. The Meatpacking district is a pretty hilarious place to set this movie. I couldn't find any place called 712 Bar but I believe this is on 125th street right near were Dinosaur Bar I couldn't find any history of a Wolf's Den in NYC Society being what it is (see also Milk) the assassin was found not guilty (sigh) by reason of insanity and was institutionalized rather than sent to prison. The Ramrod closed in the early 80s after a former transit officer opened fire on patrons, killing two and wounding more saying "I want to kill them all". The RAMROD was an actual leather bar, the most popular leather bar in the late 70s in NYC though not the inspiration for the movie (that was a place called "The Mineshaft" which was more hardcore). Well hell, I see him every night in tight blue jeans. I screencapped it because it even made Cyndi Lauper horny in the '80s. This particular magazine was published from 1974 though 2007. Pacino flips through a bunch of porn magazines. Wrestling magazines - there apparently used to be a ton of them.ĭo police stations still use corkboards or is everything wipe boards? (I can't with Al Pacino's hair in this movie) Remember those? There's no scuzzy St James Hotel in NYC anymore but there is a boutique "Hotel St James" that says it's been around since 1972. Imagine having enough delusional confidence to tattoo "Hot" on your own ass! Imagine being immortalized in a much-hated movie like this one!

Out of curiousity I looked up all the companies and places listed on signs and there is still a NYC company called Arrow Transportation but I dont know if it's the same one. You always know you're in good professional hands when detectives use hand written signs to organize things in their offices. Here are 28 photos of signs and messages and letters and whatnot from the film with a few notes on actual NYC history and a few asides to other pop culture wonders.
Wolfs gay bar nyc serial#
This week's victim is the infamous homophobic serial killer movie Cruising (1980). In this new visual series ( we previously did Silence of the Lambs - don't read anything into two queer serial killler pictures in a row, erp!) we'll share textual images from a film that use unspoken words to tell the story.

Are they subliminal subtitles? That's surely up to the set decorator, prop man, production designer and director. Shove a professional sign or any diegetic text or hand-scrawled message in front of the camera and we go all bookworm eyes.
