The funky film noir 52 Pick-Up boasts two impeccably classy leads (Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret), an A-list director of some of cinema’s greatest thrillers (John Frankenheimer), and it was adapted from the work of one of the most respected modern crime novelists (Elmore Leonard).

Fortunately, 52 Pick-Up transcends its high-brow pedigree to rule as one of Hollywood’s all-time sleaziest big budget undertakings. For that, we love it, and it was on this date in 1986 that 52 Pick-Up first brought its dirty dealings to the big screen.

52 Pick-Up is loaded with real-life porn stars (including Amber Lynn, who gets naked) and contains top-tier toplessness from young Kelly Preston who’s tied up and tortured, and Prince protégé Vanity as a peep show worker posing for Polaroids.
