F. Lawton struggled in LA back in the day. The son of famous novelist and journalist Harry Lawton, J. F. got his first taste of filmmaking in his childhood. In 1969, his father’s book was adapted into the film Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, starring Robert Redford. J. F. got to visit the set and was mesmerized by the filmmaking process, and decided to become a screenwriter. After graduating from California State University, he moved to Los Angeles and lived in one of the city’s roughest areas. While trying to find work, Lawton met producer Charles Band, struggling to keep Empire Pictures alive despite the mounting debts. With Band, Lawton got the opportunity to direct his directorial debut, shot in his hometown of Riverside. The result was 1989’s Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.

    Synopsis

    Margo Hunt (Shannon Tweed) is a professor at Spritzer College that teaches feminist studies and advocates for gender equality. The US government recruits her to travel to the mysterious Avocado Jungle and contact a female tribe, The “Piranha Women.” These women tend to have sex with men, kill them, and eat them as part of a sacrificial ritual. Though reluctant, Hunt agrees to go, but one of her students Bunny (Karen Mistal), insists that she go too. Before embarking on their journey, they need a guide and hire Jim (Bill Maher), a chauvinist ex-lover of Hunt’s. They eventually stumble upon the Piranha Women and meet their leader as they make their way through the jungle. Their leader is Dr. Kurtz (Adrienne Barbeau), a former colleague of Hunt’s who the government also sent before going MIA. What follows are explorations of feminism and gender politics, all in the name of avocados.

     

    Review

    Much like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, this is a film with quite a catchy title. However, while the former was more what you’d expect, this tries to be much more intelligent and offer some satire. For the most part, it works, but a lack of budget hampers it from being much more. Shannon Tweed, who was 1982’s Playmate of the Year, is funny as the sharp-witted feminist teacher trying to maintain independence. Karen Mistal does come off slightly annoying as the overly ditzy and stereotypical valley girl, but she has her moments. While I’m sure he’d rather people forget about his performance, Bill Maher is appropriately cocky and arrogant in his role. Though she has limited screen time, it’s always lovely to see Adrienne Barbeau pop up in these low-budget shlock films. Plus, the score by Carl Dante is surprisingly catchy and well-orchestrated.

    The film’s satire might put some people off, but it doesn’t diminish the overall goofy nature of the movie. There’s a tribe of women that are literal “man-eaters,” a braggadocious male lead who’s also incompetent, and much more. The film’s set-up revolving around an avocado shortage is so absurd that it must be intentional. What makes the satire work is that the filmmakers poke fun of both groups rather than siding one group over another. While there are plenty of jokes about men and toxic masculinity, there are just as many jokes about feminism. Unfortunately, the lack of a decent budget ultimately hurts the film, though it’s not surprising given Charles Band’s involvement. Still, the fact that they’re filming in the forest near Lawton’s college adds to the movie’s campy charm. Overall, Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death is silly, but it’s more intelligent than you’d expect.

    Though it made nearly $230 million on a $144 million budget, the Ghostbusters reboot was considered a flop. Combined with its mixed reception, the studio decided to cancel plans to develop a sequel. In early 2019, the studio announced a new film that would follow the events of the original two films. Original director Ivan Reitman would serve as a producer while his son Jason Reitman would be directing. Jason gained much attention in Hollywood for critical darlings like Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and Up in the Air. He was determined to make a film that respected his father’s originals while appealing to a new generation. After a 68-day shoot, the film initially had a July 2020 release planned but was delayed due to COVID-19. Following numerous delays, Ghostbusters: Afterlife finally saw its theatrical release in November of 2021.

    Synopsis

    After being evicted, Callie (Carrie Coon) and her kids Phoebe (Grace Mckenna) and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) move to Summerville. It turns out that Callie’s father had passed away and left them a dilapidated farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. They try making the most of their situation, Trevor getting a job at a diner and Phoebe attending summer school. While checking out the house, Phoebe and Trevor find the PKE Meter and Ecto-1, learning more about their grandfather. It turns out their grandfather was Egon Spengler, one of the Ghostbusters who mysteriously left everything behind. Phoebe learns more thanks to her teacher Gary (Paul Rudd), studying a series of earthquakes in the town. Soon enough, some paranormal activity starts happening, and there’s something bigger happening than just some earthquakes going on. Phoebe, Trevor, and her friend Podcast (Logan Kim) must save the world, but they’re going to need some help.

     

    Review

    Since the release of Ghostbusters II, people had been clamoring for another entry in the series. With this in mind and his dad was overseeing the production, Jason Reitman had to deliver to satisfy the fans. Thankfully, I’m happy to report that Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a proper follow-up that respects the original while doing something new. This one goes for something much smaller and family-focused rather than repeating the same plot similar to the reboot. Not only that, but this film does a great job introducing new characters for new audiences without alienating long-time fans. Mckenna Grace is fantastic as Phoebe, an impossibly bright 12-year-old who’s weirdly likable with her dad jokes and dry delivery. As always, Paul Rudd is funny and loveable as the kindly teacher, though he’s not in the film much. Admittedly, Logan Kim comes off slightly annoying, but I eventually warmed up to him.

    Unfortunately, despite Finn Wolfhard and his love interest Celeste O’Connor giving good performances, there’s not much to their characters. Many critics have been dismissive of the film’s “fan service,” but I think the filmmakers got it just right. Rather than beating you over the head with references, this uses fan service and nostalgia to complement the story. Without going into spoilers, there’s one aspect that, if handled another way, would’ve come off as being in bad taste. Thankfully, it’s done respectfully and tugs at the heartstrings without feeling manipulative, though a moment early on made me nervous. While Jason Reitman is known for doing independent character-driven movies, he does a good job directing a big-budget blockbuster. Some pretty exciting action sequences, particularly a chase scene throughout the town, left me on the edge of my seat. Overall, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a worthy successor to the supernatural comedy classic.

    Despite being the eighth highest-grossing film of 1989, Columbia considered Ghostbusters II a critical and commercial failure. Because of this, plans for a third entry stalled, though talks of another film popped up over the years. While most everyone was on board, Bill Murray was very reluctant about returning, given how lackluster the second installment was. Several writers tossed numerous scripts, but eventually, the studio chose to reboot the franchise primarily due to Murray’s reluctance. After Harold Ramis’ passing in 2014, Ivan Reitman stayed as a producer while the studio decided Paul Feig to direct. Unfortunately, the reboot was under fire due to Feig’s insistence on an all-female cast, casting a shadow on the production. While plenty of hardened fans were disappointed by the changes, many of the people involved labeled them “entitled” and “misogynist.” Finally, in July of 2016, the dreaded reboot of Ghostbusters made its way into theaters.

    Review

    The 2016 Ghostbusters isn’t one of the worst movies ever made, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. Even as its own thing, this is a comedy where almost none of the jokes land, and it’s embarrassing. The biggest issue is that none of the actresses know when to stop and are just rambling. It feels like Paul Feig thought they were so funny that anything they came up with was gold. There’s nothing wrong with actors adlibbing, but there comes the point where they have to stick to the script. Granted, it doesn’t help when the actresses are just playing exaggerated versions of characters from the original. For instance, Kate McKinnon is playing the Egon Spengler role if you dialed the quirkiness to 11. She’s having fun with the part, but it starts to get irritating very quickly, much like the other cast members.

    Honestly, I found Chris Hemsworth to be the funniest one, perfectly fitting the role of the loveable lunkhead. I can’t say the same for Neil Casey, who plays every single stereotypical basement-dwelling self-proclaimed intellectual you’ve ever seen. That’s not even getting into the cameos from the original cast, most of whom look downright embarrassed to be here. Also, it says something when the effects in the 1984 film have more creativity than the CGI cartoons shown here. For the record, the idea of an all-female Ghostbusters movie isn’t necessarily terrible, but it could’ve been so much better. This film might’ve turned out decent with a better script and a director who cared about the source material. Instead, it’s a black stain on a beloved franchise that audiences will quickly forget while the originals remain. Overall, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot should’ve stayed in the containment unit instead of being set free.

    Growing up in Baltimore with a fire-protection equipment manufacturer and a devout Catholic, John Waters led an odd life. At age seven, Waters was staging violent puppet shows and secretly watching cheap drive-in flicks through binoculars. Waters first got his inspiration to pursue cinema after seeing The Wizard of Oz at a young age. His first venture in filmmaking was a short film in 1964 called Hag in a Black Leather Jacket. Over the next few years, he developed an acting troupe called “The Dreamlanders,” similar to Andy Warhol’s superstars. The star of the company was Harris Glenn Milstead, better known as the drag queen performer Divine. Together, they made several low-budget films that pushed many boundaries and were as gross and offensive as possible. After making Mondo Trasho and Multiple Maniacs, John Waters made what ended up being his most famous film, Pink Flamingos.

    Synopsis

    Having been labeled the filthiest person alive, Divine goes under a pseudonym, Babs Johnson, to protect her identity. She lives with her mentally-ill mother Edie (Edith Massey), son Crackers (Danny Mills), and companion Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce). On the other side of town, Connie (Mink Stole) and Raymond (David Lochary) Marble are jealous of Divine’s status. They kidnap young women, keep them locked up, have their manservant Channing (Channing Wilroy) impregnate them, and sell their babies. Using a spy named Cookie (Cookie Mueller), The Marbles learn of Divine’s assumed name, family, and address. After The Marbles send her a box of poop, Divine declares war to show who’s the filthiest person alive. Homes go up in flames, people lick furniture, a party gets raided, and people stage a kangaroo court. In the end, only one person can indeed earn the coveted title of “Filthiest Person Alive!”

     

    Review

    Given the film’s reputation, there’s nothing that I can say about Pink Flamingos that hasn’t already been said. Of course, it’s gross, vile, disgusting, offensive, politically incorrect, and transgressive, but that’s just what John Waters intended. In a way, it’s as if Waters set out to make the worst movie ever, and yet it worked. It’s one of those movies where every character is a terrible person, yet Divine and her family are weirdly sympathetic. They accept that they’re the filthiest people alive, yet The Marbles are jealous of how proud they are. While The Marbles try their best to be nasty, you also get a sense that they’re in over their heads. Divine and her family are just living their lives when The Marbles have to interject and make themselves targets. It’s an intriguing look at how mainstream society tries to co-opt otherwise taboo material to seem cool.

    In terms of filmmaking, the movie has that grimy quality you could only get from 70’s low-budget cinema. Admittedly, there are times where scenes drag for way too long, and it feels like they should’ve cut much sooner. Acting-wise, everyone delivers their lines as if they’re reciting Shakespeare, making the ridiculous dialogue even funnier. Much of the acting is hit or miss, but Divine delivers an enjoyably over-the-top performance that perfectly fits this movie. While Divine is the show’s star, Mink Stole and Edith Massey perfectly suit their roles and are just as memorable. For a film made in 1972, some of the shock scenes are still pretty shocking even by 2021 standards. General audiences probably won’t enjoy this, but fans of cult cinema should give this at least one viewing. Overall, Pink Flamingos is rough around the edges but enjoyable for midnight movie fans.

    Return to… Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2 (2017)

    While filming Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1, director Lloyd Kaufman decided to split the film into two parts. The first part had a limited theatrical release in late 2013 that the studio expanded in 2014. While critical reception was mixed, audiences loved it, and the film was awarded at the Fright Night Theatre Film Festival. Unfortunately, during the production of the second installment, funding for the film dried up, and they couldn’t afford post-work. To help cover the post-production costs, Troma launched a Kickstarter campaign in June 2015, which raised over $60,000. After a lengthy post-production process, they screened the film at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, which became Lloyd’s last appearance. Despite the screening going well, Kaufman claimed the staff abused the Troma employees and vowed never to return. Regardless, Return to… Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2 premiered in late 2019.

    Synopsis

    Picking up from where the last movie ended, Lauren (Catherine Corcoran) gives birth to a duck-human hybrid baby. Meanwhile, Principal Westly (Babette Bombshell) blackmails her girlfriend Chrissy (Asta Paredes) to take down her blog, which she refuses. It turns out Westly got ahold of footage showing Lauren and Chrissy together from local loser Zack (Zac Amico). Local reporters hound Chrissy about this, but she uses it as an opportunity to expose the corruption of Tromaorganics Inc. Elsewhere, CEO Lee Harvey Herzkauf (Lloyd Kaufman) has been huffing farts from high school students to stay young. He plans on sharing this with some influential figures, only for his supply to run out, causing him to mutate. With their fellow students at stake, Chrissy and Lauren must stop Herzkauf while also fighting off The Cretins. Also, a fully-mutated Kevin the WonderDuck returns to protect his lovechild with Lauren.

    Review

    Return to… Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2 is more of the same as the last film. There’s just as much blood, boobs, slime, and political incorrectness as the first film, if not more so. Like the last one, this one has similarly higher production values, but you’ll notice where they had to cut corners. While there are still tons of practical effects, there’s also more dodgy CGI that feels out of place. Also, tons of recycled scenes are used as flashbacks to pad out the runtime, complete with tacked-on narration. Granted, Troma was having troubles behind the scenes, and it’s admirable that they could finish this given the circumstances. Plus, some of these flaws add to the overall campy and over-the-top nature of the production. It’s just one of the many struggles surrounding independent filmmaking, especially with a Troma movie.

    Like the last one, Asta Paredes and Catherine Corcoran have great chemistry and play off of each other well. While Paredes was more the center of Part 1, Corcoran gets the spotlight as her character grows further. Zac Amico is fun as the loveable and hateable loser who wants to get back at Chrissy and Lauren. He also has a hilarious nude scene that pays homage to the infamous streaking scene from Terror Firmer. Kaufman is great as the stereotypical corporate villain, who chews up as much scenery as possible. You also get appearances from Troma alums like Debbie Rochon, Ron Jeremy, Lemmy, Joe Fleishaker, Mark Torgl, and Stan Lee. This film has plenty of gross-out gags at under ninety minutes to satisfy Troma fans, even if parts do drag. Overall, Return to… Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2 is exactly like the last one, warts and all.

    After producing Class of Nuke ‘Em High 3: The Good, The Bad, And The Subhumanoid, Troma announced a fourth film. Entitled Battle of the Bikini Subhumanoids, they held a contest where fans could submit pages for a potential screenplay. While they had a completed script in 2000, the film never made it past pre-production and was ultimately shelved. In 2011, Troma started working on a potential fourth film in Spain with Mushnik’s Entertainment and Chaparra Entertainment as collaborators. Around this time, Anchor Bay expressed interest in remaking Troma’s movies, starting with 2010’s Mother Day. They decided to also collaborate with Troma over a sequel/reboot to their Class of Nuke ‘Em High series. Filming began in 2012, and at some point, Lloyd Kaufman decided to split the film in half. As a result, Troma released Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 in fall 2013.

    Review

    I couldn’t help but notice the numerous similarities between this and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV. Both are the fourth installment, both ignore the previous films’ events, and Stan Lee narrates both. Also, both cover similar taboo issues, particularly school shootings, which makes me concerned about our society. There are also some similarities with Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, namely how no one is free from ridicule. There’s the stereotypically evil corporation, the self-righteous liberal blogger, and the school’s blase nature towards mass shootings. Not to mention that all subtlety is thrown entirely out the window when it comes to satire. All of this is mixed with Troma’s bread and butter: blood, nudity, gore, sex, slime, viscera, and lack of taste. It’s a winning formula that’s helped Troma survive for more than 40 years, and it more than works here.

    Troma is typically known for, among other things, exaggeratedly over-the-top performances, but some of the ones here are annoying. Clay von Carlowitz comes off particularly grating, but to be fair, he’s not playing a likable character. By comparison, Asta Paredes and Catherine Corcoran play their roles straight, ironic given their characters’ arc. They have solid chemistry with each other, and it’s fun contrasting Asta’s sarcastic demeanor against Catherin’s more naive personality. The Cretins are similar to the original ones, but they’re entertaining, especially the Cretin who uses a wheelchair. While there are some pretty solid practical effects, some less-than-stellar digital shots pop up here and there, though that’s forgivable. At roughly 90 minutes, the film gets in and out relatively quickly, and the cliffhanger leaves you wanting more. Overall, Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 is a fun follow-up to the original cult classic.

    In 2019, Full Moon Features announced a new project called “The Deadly Ten,” a series of ten brand new films. Each would be either a sequel or related in some way to a pre-existing Full Moon movie. The titles announced included sequels to Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Subspecies, and Head of the Family. For the first film in this series, filmmaker Danny Draven decided to work on a spiritual successor to 1985’s Ghoulies. In 2006, Full Moon released the stoner comedy Evil Bong, which started a top-rated franchise spanning eight films by 2018. Draven has a history of working with Charles Band, having directed Horrorvision, Hell Asylum, Cryptz, and Reel Evil. His contribution for The Deadly Ten would combine the stoner humor of Evil Bong with the mischievous monsters of Ghoulies. The resulting film saw its release in late 2019 as Weedjies: Halloweed Night.

    Synopsis

    Friends Madison (Brett Hargrave), Dallas (Victoria Strange), and Frankie (Yo Ying) are planning on throwing the biggest Halloween party ever. Their socially awkward male friend Claude (Johnny Jay Lee), clearly infatuated with Dallas, joins to help them out. Once the party starts, it becomes a huge success, with many people showing up for a good time. The guests are also there for a scavenger hunt to win The Golden Nug, a very special nugget of marijuana. Our heroes meet a mysterious woman known as The Baroness (Denise Milfort), who has something special for our heroes. She breaks out a “Weed-G-Board,” which ends up summoning diminutive creatures known as “Weedjies” to attack the guests. According to the Ganja Ghost (James Adam Tucker), the group only has until midnight to recapture the Weedjies. Will they be able to stop them, or will the Weedjies party our heroes to death?

     

    Review

    Honestly, Weedjies: Halloweed Night is more or less what I expected from a modern-day Full Moon movie. You’ve got a ridiculous plot, questionable acting, and cheesy puppets mixed with some not-so-good CGI effects. It would be best if you didn’t go into a film like this expecting high-quality cinema else you’ll be disappointed. I watched this film cold sober, so I don’t know if getting high beforehand will make watching this better. That said, while I would hardly call this a classic within Full Moon’s library, it’s still fun in a way. The actors know what type of movie they’re in and have fun with their roles, as standard as they are. Denise Milfort and James Adam Tucker are entertainingly hammy with their fake Jamaican accents and larger-than-life personas. None of the four main heroes particularly stand out, but they have decent chemistry with each other.

    Of course, the real stars of this movie are the Weedjie puppets, all creations of Tom Devlin’s 1313fx studio. Compared to the puppet work of the late great John Carl Buechler, they’re about on par with those from Ghoulies. While they don’t show up until halfway into the movie, their appearance does make the film more fun to watch. Each of them has a distinct look and personality, similar to the creatures from Gremlins 2: The New Batch. As decent as the puppets look, what took me out of the movie was the cheap-looking CGI. It does add to its campy charm, but once they start using CG blood, that’s when I draw the line. It helps that the movie’s only 75 minutes in length, which means you’ll be in and out before too long. Overall, Weedjies: Halloweed Night would be perfect for a Halloween stoner party or something similar.

    After leaving Marvel Comics in 1986, legendary artist Jack Kirby worked on concept art for potential films at Empire Pictures. The films were a Doctor Strange-inspired story called Doctor Mortalis and Mindmaster, about a paraplegic kid controlling a robot. Unfortunately, neither movie got made since Empire Pictures couldn’t secure financing from Vestron, and they eventually went bankrupt. Charles Band would eventually rework the Doctor Mortalis concept into 1992’s Doctor Mordrid starring Jeffrey Combs and Brian Thompson. Two years after Jack Kirby’s death in 1994, Band went to frequent collaborator Benjamin Carr about a new concept. By pure coincidence, Band’s idea was similar to a Kirby story from 1954 in Black Magic Volume 4 #6. Whether coincidental or not, Carr and Band set to work on what would become one of Full Moon’s weirdest movies. In November of 1996, Head of the Family hit the video store shelves nationwide.

    Synopsis

    Loretta (Jacqueline Lovell) is cheating on her biker husband Howard (Gordon Jennison Noice) with local conman Lance (Blake Adams). While driving after a nightly fling, they witness the Stackpools, a family of misfits, dragging a man into their home. Suspecting foul play, Lance decides to investigate further and learns the horrible truth about the family. Siblings Wheeler (James Jones), Otis (Bob Schott), and Ernestina (Dianne Colazzo) are mind-controlled by brother Myron (J. W. Perra). Also, Myron has a giant head, is confined to a wheelchair, and experiments on his victims for a new body. Seeing an opportunity, Lance hires the Stackpools to dispose of Howard in exchange for him keeping quiet about their exploits. They succeed, but Lance decides to extort them for the prominent fortune they’re sitting on, threatening them with legal action. Unbeknownst to Lance, Myron has something grand in store for him and Loretta.

     

    Review

    Compared to the rest of Full Moon’s library, Head of the Family is by far one of their weirdest movies. Admittedly, its story is pretty basic, but the strange characters and odd mix of campy and creepy elevate it. Right from the opening themes conducted by Richard Band, you know this will be both wacky and weird. In the middle of this tale of extortion and blackmail, you’ve got all these strange beings lurking around. J. W. Perra sells it as the maniacal Myron, acting like a cross between Orson Welles and The Brain. What also helps are the makeup effects and camera tricks used to make him look convincing as this character. While they don’t have many lines, Jones, Scott, and Colazzo stand out in their roles just for their sheer weirdness. Seeing them stand around with their blank expressions is pretty frightening.

    Blake Adams and Jacqueline Lovell work well as the straight players against the strange things around them. Blake is very charismatic and entertaining as the sleazy conman who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. On top of being more than willing to get naked, Lovell is charming and funny in her sardonic role. The effects are surprisingly decent for such a low-budget film, although a few look pretty cheap by comparison. It doesn’t help either that there are times where they have to add fire to some scenes digitally. Directing-wise, Charles Band does a decent job using shadows and lighting to create a compellingly spooky mood. At times, the movie does stretch things out to hit its 82-minute mark, but it gets the job done. Overall, Head of the Family is an oddity, but it’s an oddity worth seeking out for Full Moon fans.

    In Marvel Comics’ Adventure into Fear #19, writer Steve Gerber and artist Val Mayerik introduced Howard the Duck in 1973. Gerber wrote the character with existential themes whose central joke was that funny and intense are often indistinguishable. After the production of American Graffiti, George Lucas introduced the comics to co-writers Willard Hyuck and Gloria Katz. While they intended for the film to be animated, Lucas’ contract required that he produce a live-action movie. Universal optioned the film due to having turned down opportunities to work with Lucas in the past. Lucas spent his money to bring Howard to life, designing an animatronic suit that actor Ed Gale would wear. They cast Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, and a relatively unknown Tim Robbins, with Chip Zien providing Howard’s voice. Following a five-month shoot and extensive post-production, Howard the Duck arrived in theaters in August 1986.

    Synopsis

    Mild-mannered Howard T. Duck is relaxing in his apartment on Duckworld when a vortex abducts and drops him on Earth. He winds up in Cleveland, where thugs assault up-and-coming rockstar Beverly (Lea Thompson), so Howard fends them off. Beverly decides to let him crash at her place while they figure out how Howard arrived on Earth. She takes him to her scientist friend Phil (Tim Robbins), but Howard blows him off since he’s just a janitor. After unsuccessfully trying to make it on his own, Howard goes back to Beverly and meets her band, Cherry Bomb. Later, Phil introduces Howard to Dr. Jenning (Jeffrey Jones), who explains that a laser spectroscope accidentally brought Howard to Earth. Unfortunately, the spectroscope brought down The Dark Overlord, which possesses Jenning and plans to bring down his fellow overlords. He kidnaps Beverly, so it’s up to Howard and Phil to save the world!

     

    Review

    Ever since its release, Howard the Duck has been called one of the worst movies of all time. People compare this to movies like Freddy Got Fingered, Plan 9 from Outer Space, and Manos: The Hands of Fate. Even though I believe it’s nowhere near one of the worst movies ever, that doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. For instance, the film has very little humor, often relying on duck puns, corny one-liners, and tons of slapstick. Also, it seems confused on whether it wants to be for kids or older audiences, constantly going back and forth. Acting-wise, everyone seems to be trying given the material, but people like Tim Robbins probably don’t like people mentioning this. The film introduces elements that would be more interesting than what we’re shown, such as the brief glimpses of Duckworld. Even with these flaws, there are plenty of good qualities.

    For one, even if Howard isn’t that appealing of a character, the costume and animatronics are impressive. Given that this came out in 1986, the amount of expressions they can get from the animatronic head is remarkable. Also, the prosthetics used to show Jenning’s transformation into the Dark Overlord are effectively creepy, enhanced with optical effects. In addition, the stop-motion used for the Dark Overlord towards the end is impressive, as expected from Phil Tippett. The music is surprisingly catchy, and credit should go to Lea Thompson and her bandmates for taking singing lessons. A common complaint is that it’s too silly to take seriously and vice-versa, but that might’ve been intentional. While not necessarily an unappreciated gem, this is a film worth re-evaluating and giving a second chance. Overall, Howard the Duck is undoubtedly flawed, but it has some decent qualities that critics and audiences may have overlooked.

    Following a successful web-comic on Troma’s website in the early 2000s, Lloyd Kaufman wanted to expand it further. He signed a contract with adult film star India Allen to produce two digitally-shot films and a TV series. Unfortunately, a year into production, the footage presented to Kaufman was unwatchable, and the entire budget was gone. Kaufman and his business partner, Michael Herz, were unhappy about what had happened and needed a plan. So, to try and salvage the footage, they decided to turn the two movies into one anthology film. Filming began in 2003 around New York and Los Angeles, though the production problems were just getting started. Alongside dealing with an incompetent crew, many scenes had to be redubbed and stitched together to make it work. After a rather tumultuous post-production period, Troma finally released Tales from the Crapper in September of 2004.

    Synopsis

    Our illustrious master of ceremonies, the Crap Keeper (Lloyd Kaufman), presents us with two stories to get the juices flowing. The first tale, “The Case of the Melon Heavy Alien Man Eater,” involves a man-eating alien who becomes a stripper. Sgt. Ivana Dance (Julie Strain) goes undercover to investigate the bizarre murders happening at The Shimmering Beaver strip club. The second tale, “Tuition of the Terror Twat”, involves Timmy (Rob Zazzali) losing his college tuition money. His skinny buddy (Andy Lazarus) and friend Racoon Head (Jorge Garcia) decide to host a stripper party to raise money. They hire Demanda (Julie Strain) and her girls, but it turns out the strippers are vampires who slaughter the partiers. In between these stories, the Crap Keeper reads fan letters and teaches us how to make our damn movie. It’s a cornucopia of blood, boobs, and bad jokes in Tales from the Crapper!

     

    Review

    Considering the production problems that happened, it’s a wonder that Tales from the Crapper even exists in the first place. While it’s admirable that they tried to salvage this whole debacle, it might’ve been better to cut their losses. Still, $200,000 is a lot of money for Troma, so I understand them wanting to make some effort. You can quickly tell what footage was shot by India Allen by the horrible lighting and obvious dubbing. Unfortunately, the reshoots aren’t much better, though they are more watchable, and you can hear the original audio. The Troma team tried spicing up the unwatchable footage by adding gore, nudity, and tons of politically incorrect humor. Unfortunately, much of the comedy comes off more obnoxious than humorous, especially the intentionally lousy dubbing and the patented “Boner-Vision.” Admittedly, when they change it to “Doggie-Vision” at one point, that was kinda funny.

    Since the filmmakers added dubbing due to the bad sound, it’s hard to gauge their acting without hearing their voices. It also doesn’t help that you can’t tell what’s happening most of the time because of the poor filmmaking. That said, the late Julie Strain is trying to make the most of the material by chewing the scenery. We also get fun cameos from Troma alumni James Gunn, Joe Fleishaker, Trey Parker, Eli Roth, and Trent Haaga. Additionally, the gore they added in post-production is pretty impressive, given the lack of available resources. In addition to the “Boner-Vision,” the sound will frequently cut to a fake commentary track talking about the poor quality. While these can make the viewing experience harder, it’s nice to see them self-aware of the disaster unfolding. Overall, Tales from the Crapper is awful on a technical level but somewhat admirable given the circumstances.
