Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during the last gasp of pre-gentrification Times Square, when adult theaters still dotted 42nd Street. The city itself is a ghost now.
Chi Chi LaRue originally wanted to title it 'Stalked' but distributors insisted on 'Hardcore'—a word that meant something different in '97 porn marketing than in Paul Schrader's universe.
