The Characters:

Green Dot Debbie - Mike's girlfriend, she used to date Dave (small town).
Green Dot Curtis Moonie - Old and grizzly policeman.

Buy It!

The Plot: 

If the title didn't get your attention you probably have been riding the short bus to school and I'm wondering how you made it to the internet anyway. Aliens from outer space dudes! Who dress like clowns and even act like demented little buggers too! Ray guns turning people into cotton candy wrapped treats that the clowns stick straws in later to feed, popcorn which grows into little fanged monsters, and killer pies! This hard to find film is a barrel of laughs and even includes a music video for the song "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" by The Dickies. The very simple plot is based on a spaceship landing near some small town, the Klowns invading, and then Mike and friends trying to stop them. Throw into this officer Moonie and the Terenzi brothers and you're all set. I really like Moonie, he has some great quotes and drinks Jack Daniels, but he dies... A fun movie with plenty of camp in it but definately bad.

Things I Learned From This Movie: 

Green Dot Every girl wants to make out in an rubber raft in the back of a 4X4.
Green Dot Spaceships use darkroom doors.
Green Dot Balloon animals are terrific bloodhounds.
Green Dot Special effects need not be special.
Green Dot Shadows can eat people.
Green Dot Always shoot a clown, I mean Klown, in the nose.
Green Dot Main characters do not get killed, ever, even though everybody else does.
Green Dot The older cop is always the asshole.
Green Dot State police consist of about eight patrol cars.

Stuff To Watch For: 

Green Dot 10 mins - This nasty backwoods guy has a dog named Pooh Bear?
Green Dot 38 mins - Alright! JD! Cops love JD! I'm going to start keeping track of how many B Movies endorse Jack Daniels Whiskey...
Green Dot 40 mins - Debbie gets in the shower. Now, movie time here is at least four times real time mind you.
Green Dot 45 mins - The car hasn't hit the wall yet but we hear crashing.
Green Dot 47 mins - No dents after hitting a brick wall and all that crashing?
Green Dot 52 mins - Debbie is still in the shower, I'm in love.
Green Dot 69 mins - Please don't verify that the clowns breasts are growing.

Quotes: 

Debbie: "Nobody stores cotton candy like this!"

Terenzi: "Does she have any roommates?"
Mike: "Yes she's got two, she's got two beautiful roommates. With big boobs!"
Terenzi: "Do they like ice cream?"

Opening the door to find several frightening Klowns delivering a pizza would freak me out, I guess this girl was on her sixth or later drink. Just look at those amazing special effects!

This movie is great...if you haven't seen it, you have no idea how entertaining it is to watch killer klowns scare the bejabbers out of a small town's community members. Three other things I learned from this movie: It only takes two cops to run the local jail, you can survive a violent explosion by hiding in a freezer, and humans make great ventriloquist dummies.

Checking the IMDB about upcoming movies in 1999, guess what I found? "Bloodsucking killer clowns from outer space"! Their filming it in sweden and Germany I think. That will rock, I hope it's just as awesome as this one.

Probably one of my favorite bad movies of all time.  You have homicidal clowns wrapping people up in cotton candy and then sucking out there blood through crazy straws!  It doesn't get any better than that.  If you don't watch this movie to see the man-eating shadow puppet, the attack popcorn, acid pies, or using the chief as a ventriloguist dummy, then you have to a least listen to the song.

I saw this movie when I was about 9 years old.. it scared the crap out of me!!  No wonder everytime I see a clown I want to punch it in the nose!  I hate clowns!  Seeing this movie again... it's pretty funny.  I still hate clowns though

 When I was around 6 or 7, I walked in to my cousin's room and he was seeing this. I got scared at the clowns and I started crying. A few years later when I was like 9 or 10, I walked into my mom's room and she was watching "It". It also scared me and I began to cry. Now, I'm 15, and I'm deathly afraid of clowns. Afraid enough to say that I suffer from a phobia of clowns. I just don't plain like 'em. But I still watch KKFOS, and I love the movie. I laugh, and I smile at how hokey it is. But if a clown (or a Klown), shows up in my room, the scare alone will kill me.

 Toodles,
 Shrewy

How To Find A Bad Movie

Review first posted on 9 December 2001. This documentary chronicles yet another ecological disaster that man has visited upon Australia, but it makes me laugh.

Lesson Learned:
Green Dot Little girls will happily substitute a big, ugly toad for a doll.
