LAS VEGAS BLOODBATH (1989)

[The Burgomaster]

This movie is included in the DECREPIT CRYPT OF NIGHTMARES 50 movie pack.

Get a load of this (POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD . . . BUT YOU PROBABLY WON'T CARE!!!!!):

A guy named Sam Butler (played by Ari Levin, who reminds me of a low-budget version of Nicolas Cage) finds his wife in bed with a cop.  So he shoots them both (the gun looks like a cap pistol), cuts off his wife's head, and drives up and down the Las Vegas strip saying stuff like "women are all the same" and making plans for his revenge.  Then he picks up a hooker, sticks a knife under her chin and the tip comes out her mouth, and pulls off her leg by tying it to his car and driving away.

Then we get a long, boring sequence consisting of a bunch of women from B.L.O.W. (Beautiful Ladies Oil Wrestling) having a baby shower in their pregnant friend's house.  They drink beer and eat donuts, talk about mundane things, play a truth-or-dare card game, order pizza, and lounge around in their bikinis (the pregnant woman, too).  Then they watch a terrible, stupid oil wrestling match on TV (starring themselves).

Sam lurks around outside and eventually breaks into the house.  He slices open the pregnant woman, pulls out the fetus, and flings it against the wall.  Then he kills her friends in various ways (claw hammer, gun . . . he even pulls one girl's arm off with his bare hands).  All this time, he has his wife's head with him and keeps talking to it.

This is an extremely low-budget, shot on video flick.  I suspect there wasn't much of a script (the long sequence with the B.L.O.W. women seems to be mostly ad-libbed).  Whatever script did exist was full of really stupid dialogue.

I give this movie 2 stars out of 10.  I would have given it only 1 star, but it's so stupid that some parts are oddly amusing.  I guess that's worth 2 stars.

it sounds like the greatest film ever.

I recently watched Las Vegas Bloodbath which is also part in another set I bought called Serial Psychos - 6 Movie Set



Unlike Burgomaster I thought LVBB was a blast. I thought the movie's badness worked perfectly well in it's own favor. In-your-face funny with hilarious attempts at the sleaze and offensive. Plus you get a great amount of blood and gore and the beheading of a Jehova's witness ("You're no witness anymore!"). Loved it.

The set also includes Don Dohler's Blood Massacre (1991) which is another fine example of cheesetastic filmmaking.

Anyhow, if you like so bad so good movies I'd say Las Vegas Bloodbath is worth checking out.

Is this the one where someone flips the main character the bird and he shoots his finger off?

I've got that 50 pack but I haven't ventured much further than SUBURBAN SASQUATCH. Time for another look, I guess.
