Thinner (1996)

Based on a novel by Stephen King, the fright flick Thinner (1996) tells the story of Billy Halleck (Robert John Burke), an overweight lawyer who accidentally runs over a gypsy in his car as his wife is giving him a blowjob. Through his legal connections, Halleck gets off with a slap on the wrist, and as a result, the leader of the dead gypsy’s band, Tadzu Lempke (Michael Constantine), curses the lawyer to lose weight until he shrivels up and dies. Unable to convince the gypsy to lift the curse, Halleck calls in a favor from one of his mafia buddies (Joe Mantegna), who agrees to shake Lempke down. This starts a war with the gypsy band that ends in Halleck’s curse being lifted, but with unforeseen consequences for his wife and child. Thinner is a no-skinner, but check out softcore starlet Kari Wuhrer’s cleavage and panties as she does a gypsy dance. We wish the front of her underwear were thinner.
