17. A 90s Horror Film That Was Made for Television

Yes, a horror story. Within a few days, NBC’s Amy Fisher: My Story, CBS’s Casualties of Love and ABC’s The Amy Fisher Story all hit the small screen, and people did not go unmoved.

This time, we have Drew Barrymore playing Amy, and yeah, I’ll make a statement: I would kill someone for 1993 Drew Barrymore.

Director Andy Tennant would go on to work with Barrymore again on Ever After. He also made Fools Rush In and Sweet Home Alabama, so if you dated someone in the 90s, you saw his movies. It was written by Janet Brownell.

It all begins with Amy in bed, barely alive after a suicide attempt and wondering where it all went wrong. Oh yes, it was when she slept with Joey Buttafuoco (Tony Denison). Made a year after Drew was in Poison Ivy, this finds her playing yet another dangerous young girl who shouldn’t be using sex the way she is, but we all want to see it. You know, an exploitation film.

Fisher would go on to be with another old man bad for her, Louis Bellera, and even made an adult film — against her wishes, so she said — in the early 2000s. On March 6, 2008, Fisher was a guest on the Howard Stern Show to discuss the video. After the first phone call from Mary Jo Buttafuoco’s daughter, Jessica, Fisher left the show quickly. In 2010, she appeared in Deep Inside Amy Fisher alongside Lisa Ann, Tommy Gunn, Dale DaBone and Marcus London. She also appeared in Amy Fisher Is Sex (of course, Evan Stone is in that), My Wife’s Hot Friend 10, Amy Fisher With Love, Fatal Seduction (at least Katsuni is in that), and Seduced by a Cougar 22.

She reunited with Mary Jo Buttafuoco for appearances on Entertainment Tonight and also did the coin toss with Joey for the 2006 Lingerie Bowl, which was a thing. The New York Euphoria beat the Los Angeles Temptation 13-12.

Anyways: Casualties of Love was about Amy being crazy, while Amy Fisher: My Story  had her being taken advantage of, and this one says, “Both things can be true.”
