Justin's Rating: Whoode Whadee Maybe
Justin's Review: Take a group of college students. You know, your average typical "we have nothing better to do" college students who revel in spending huge amounts of time devoting their lives to major and insignificant projects (I, for one, remember fondly of days like the one I spent converting a toilet bowl to a working aquarium). Combine those students with the film genre they love best - horror/comedy. Mix in a lot of plagerism, a wacked-out editor, some MST3K, swearing... and you get this movie, whose name would take up several volumes if I kept repeating it. This is an oddball flick, folks, on many levels.
First of all, it's a movie that's already been done. These college kids took Night of the Living Dead (that famous zombie flick), erased the soundtrack, and replaced it with their own dialogue. This new soundtrack ranges from brilliant to dumb to offensive, depending on the scene. Does this qualify it as a new film? I guess it does, although I have never found it elsewhere on the net (and my own copy is dubbed from a friend).
I'll savagely attack the bad first. This... movie... has definitely been put together by a group of doped AV monkies. It's juvenile and borders on complete incompetence. The most annoying "feature" is that they take the movie and break it up into segments, splicing in their own little intermission scenes. These include poor jokes, hilariously bad rock videos shot in a garage, a butt-shot, and a guy eating a donut. Most of the time, it's just wisest to fast-forward through these. I cannot stress how awful the music video is...this dumb college song plays, a semi-ugly girl dances out of beat to it while stripping down to thong and bra... you know, like last Saturday night. In the movie itself, there are a select handful of scenes that top South Park in raunchiness (language only, of course). Remember: college students, homo jokes, women bashing, sex, and even rape are all subject below par.
It's redeeming value (i.e., what kept this shoddy piece on my tape) is that the funky humor - the good stuff - reminds me exactly of what my friends and I would dub in to boring movies that we'd watch. Our black hero has a great Shaft motif going on, and who am I to stand in his way? And when a ragtime music box launches into a rap beat, can I not howl in laughter? And am I just beating myself up that I never did this myself?
And you got to give any movie a chance that stars Tommy the Talking Shotgun (who speak with an Aussie accent). I once had a talking coffee cup that kept me company during class, but I do wish it had more firepower.
Didja Notice?
Dude, what is UP with their fascination with fireworks?
Intermission!
Although I can't find copies of this movie to buy, it was written and produced by Lowell Mason, and put out by Jiveass Video.

Guy: Is that your little girl there?
