SombeeKillah Lisa Dubois: "Wilbur, did you treat this weed?" Wilbur: "Only with respect, baby".Where do I begin? I expected a little better from Lloyd Kaufman/ Troma Team.. But then again expect what? Once again I came out disappointed. I had heard so much "hoopla" over this so-called cult classic that when I saw a 20th anniversary DVD that also included a CD with the original soundtrack, I bought it. The CD music is much better that the film itself. Adrian Bond took composing the score for this film seriously. Nice.Also included in this anniversary DVD are new and current interviews with cast and crew of the film. This was more shocking to me than the movie itself! Ha-ha. Some of the cast members did not age well at all. Especially Lisa M. DeHaven(Lisa Dubois). I thought she looked hot back then. But it was shocking to see how much weight she gained! I could not believe it was her! Ironically Bucky Santini (Fred Mertz) who was the "big boy"in the film, is now slim and unrecognizable! Another member who gain a lot of weight also was Tyrone Taylor(Tyrone the Soldier). It was nice to see though how Alex Lewnes (Baby Fester) turned out 20 years later! Alex Lewnes was only two years old when he played Baby Fester. Pericles Lewnes (the director and who played Billy Bob 'Elly May)gave himself a concussion when he dropped the barrel of toxic waste on the first take. He also spent ten hours on the table in zombie make-up on the day his scene as a zombie was filmed. Moreover, said make-up took three or four hours to apply. It was so cold on several days of shooting that the fake blood Lisa M. DeHaven was covered with froze on her. The filmmakers sent this movie to many different distributors in order to get it released, all of whom turned it down. It was eventually picked up for release by Troma, which was the very first company it was submitted to. The budget for this movie was so low that the filmmakers could only afford one breakaway candy glass bottle. This film was shot in 32 days on weekends over the course of a year.The make-up for the zombie extras was done in a deliberately cheesy manner.
dragonrebornk6 I wish I could give this one a zero. It didn't even get the whole so bad its good thing going. No, its not the actors that suck (which they do) or the filmography that suck (which it does), the main thing was how they pulled all these things together into the worst viewing experience of my life. The film had so much potential too, i mean come on, Redneck + Zombies should equal = really funny time. The parts that really made me wish for new eyes were the parts where for no reason, the film went all screwy, and the sound was dragged out until your ears bled. I finally was able to finish it, just for writing this review, and I've come to a conclusion. Troma films should be used for torture. I guarantee that any terrorist will talk if you promise just to turn it off. If you wish to save your brain from the worst headache imaginable, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!
Jsimpson5 A former co-worker of mine told me about this film a few weeks ago, and I bought the film just to see how interesting this film could be. The basic gist of the film is that a drum of nuclear waste falls off the back of US Army Jeep in the rural parts of Maryland. Some rednecks get the drum thinking that it is Moonshine (because they do not know how to read, or they are just stupid) and give it to people and become flesh eating zombies.The film itself is not meant to be a Oscar winner, but it falls under the "it's so bad it's good" group. The special effects are very cheap, but it still fun to watch. I could write a book on how corny and cheesy the lines in this movie are, but I am not going to do that. The lines in this film are really bad, but it's so funny at some of the stuff that is said in this film. The gore in this film is is at times over the top. There seems to be more gore in this film, then Dawn of the Dead.The acting is over the top at times. Mainly Bob, the pre-vet student is starts tripping while doing an autopsy on one of the zombies. Drinking Dude, how could I forget him. He always drinks, at out of no where pulls out bottles of liquor and drinks it.If you like Troma films, then watch this. If you like gore b flicks, then watch this. In my opinion this is one of the best b movies of the 80's.
LoneWolfAndCub This movie seems to get a lot of negative attention and I wonder why that is. I mean, it IS a Troma movie so I already had low expectations. The title of the movie is Redneck Zombies so that further lowered my expectations and when I read the plot I just couldn't stop laughing. Radioactive waste mistaken for moonshine by rednecks, they drink it and transform into zombies!!! I couldn't wait to watch this.The start opens with a parody of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it is very funny. But then I realised this wasn't filmed normally, it was filmed on video. It looked so shoddy I realised to take this seriously would be stupid. The acting, music, dialogue, plot, direction and everything else was bad, just plain bad. I couldn't stop laughing at how bad and ridiculous it really was. And the gore was excellent and let me say, there is a lot of it. Do you expect any less from Troma?? 3/5.
