gotta get this off my chest


just saw this for the first time at a theater here in LA...

wow... i mean i expected bad fun but that was baaaaad.

it was sort of fun. glad i saw it. but...

the leader of that ridiculous frat? he looks like he's an old 30 year old version of beaver cleaver. balding, fat. who is this guy... i thought he was one of their fathers not the frat leader. and he was such a dorky looking guy. looked ridiculous that he was ordering them around.

and what was this dare? to kidnap a dangerous anti nuclear protester and take them back to the frat? would they then know where the frat was and come back with friends and get revenge? and how is this a prank? and why would the dumpy leader go with them every step of the way and point out who to take? i mean wouldn't he stay behind safely at the frat?

and they had ample opportunity to escape the downtown area.. cars were constantly driving by

the area they are in is suppose to be so bad yet there are cars and motorcycles and businesses closed for the night. just seems like a regular city block.

so all these so called anti nuclear mutants do is put on a little makeup? that seems to be the only difference. that and bad taste in clothes but it was the 80's... everyone had bad taste.

the mutants are suppose to be peaceful yet the minions of the splatter guy don't seem to mind him killing others like themselves. innocent people.

the first part of the movie is a bunch of people talking about events that we never see like the car prank that supposedly destroyed a car. and what happened to splatter in the first place? it was so low budget they could only tell us what happened which wasn't very clear.

so splatter has a mutated penis? why did he squish the girl?

i love when that girl at the club tells one of the guys that this is how the other half lives and it's just some rundown bar with a bad singer. oooohhhhh! that's soooo different.

when they get to the club the guys are dancing and laughing... they forget about their dead buddy really fast.

when the cops who are attacking the girl in the alley are told that one of the dudes is the son of the chief of police... one cop goes to check it out by walking to the car and he comes back 5 seconds later saying he's telling the truth. ummm... they never got him name, his id or had time to even do anything.

AND why didn't the two guys desperately trying to get out of the area... and one of which is the son of the chief of police... why didn't they get a ride from the two cops? instead the cops just drive off and they keep asking the girl how to get out of there. that made no sense.

and the fact the kid is the son of the chief adds nothing to the story and it never comes into play.

that laboratory building at the end was very colorful. every hallway was lit up with either red, green or blue.

the slow motion effects were hysterical and took forever. probably added a good 2 minutes to the film.

and everyone seemed to know where everyone else was... as though they had esp or something. might have made a little more sense if people had cell phones. but i didn't see any. and it was 1984.

man that guy really hates cats

and every time they were running from a group of people... instead of running forward when they had a clear lead... they'd stop and run up a building and get cornered.

the director makes a point at the end when the big frat guy kills one of the bad guys like it's some sort of big event but didn't he and the others kill a bunch earlier when they were trying to escape?

ok... i feel better

Yes this is a very bad flick. The sad part is that I wouldn't even complain if it was remade!

I think I saw this *beep* in Austin when it came out. If I remember right the star of the movie chokes out one of the bad guys and kills him at the end after the bad guy tries to apologize. It makes you wonder why if he's so tough he didn't just start choking out people sooner. The other thing I remember is that it's like that movie with Emilio Estevez being chased by Denis Leary's gang and you're thinking, "Why not just call the cops?"

The henchman doesn't try to apologize, I assume he was planning to kill them, but I think it was either Steve Clint, the big guy, snapped and broke the man's neck.

He was fighting a lot, but probably surpressed himself from murdering anyone up until the ending.

In the bad streets, they probably didn't have much way to contact, plus the cops two of the Frats encounter were trying to rape a girl. They wouldn't be much help.
