Poultrygeist

[Andrew]

This is why you should never build a fried chicken restaurant on top of an ancient Indian burial ground.

My oh my... I don't know how to respond to a movie such as this.  I don't think I could make it through it with my sanity in good condition.  On the other hand, I think I discovered the most insane movie ever created.

Anyways, good review as usual.  Since it takes quite a while now for you to do a movie review, maybe it's time for a Guest Review?  But besides that, I have two questions.  How did you come across this film and how did it all end?

The best thing Troma has done in a long, long time.

Or the worst. 

Depends on your point of view!

[BoyScoutKevin]

Troma is so unsubtle, they are actually subtle.

Clearly, there are any number of restaurant chains featured in the film.

Arbi = Arby's
Wendy = Wendy's
Denny = Denny's
Carl jr. = Carl jr.

After those here are some more possibilities.

Paco Bell = Taco Bell
Micki = Mickey D's = McDonald's
General Lee Roy = Colonel Sanders = KFC

I'd definitely put this up as one of Troma's best.  The best use of that stock car crash, BY FAR, at least.

It's possibly their funniest film too.  I mean, it tried for laughs, and they actually WORKED.  It's not like some Troma films where you're purely laughing AT the movie, a lot of this stuff works exactly as it was meant to.  It's also their GORIEST film, which is saying something.  And, easily, their most disgusting. 

So basically, I approve.  I actually think 3 slimes is too low..  I'd give it an 8/10.

My complaints are similar though - there's a few scenes of filler which could have been trimmed down, and some of the songs also slow the film down a little too much.

My friends and I did a fake Poultrygeist commercial for our radio group Erratic Static back in the 80's! I love Tromo's trashy nature, so I just might have to get this one!

This looks amazing, I'm definitly picking this up!!!!!

[Goat Boy]

I'm totally with you on Micki.  Most of the time she was on screen, I was just like "Dude, seriously, put your shirt back on!"

BoyScoutKevin: There's another I picked up on: At the end of the song "Slow Fast Food Love", Arbi and Wendy make the signs for A&W, another hamburger joint (actually a rootbeer stand, but they sold burgers).

All in all I love this movie, it's totally trashy, and again, Troma sought out girls with the weirdest boobs they could find. I love the song "Slow Fast Food Love", as well as most of the musical scores.

Cool little video edit.

Ugh... I could barely finish this travesty. It was as pleasurable as dry-humping a sandy cedar deck!
A good pick for a "worst movie ever" list though!

I haven't seen this yet.

Freakin' £30 for the DVD 
Grr...

We have a concept called "rentals" here in the US... I thought it would have made it over the pond by now. 

[Daft Phully]

Oh God, this movie was vile. Really. And not funny. And there is no excuse for that.  It made that zombie sheep flick look like Oscar material.  I gave my three DVD set away so I would not die with that on my soul.

It is now £129.99* !!!! 

I've never seen a place that rents Troma films.








*I'm starting to regret not buying it when it was £30.

Aren't most DVD players in the UK multi-region capable?  Can't you just get the US dvd - or do they not handle NTSC -> PAL?
