A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
A teenage girl tries to help a small, purple, jive-talking alligator escape the clutches of a greedy carnival owner as well as an assortment of colourful characters, among them a skateboarding ninja, so he can be reunited with his owner.
I don't often agree with the ratings up on IMDb.com, but this movie's 1.2 ⭐ is spot on..
A decent amount of bad movies are still movies- they have audible dialogue, they have cinematography, they have a soundtrack, etc. but this… this is worse than high school level production. I personally find it barely watchable even with rifftrax
I have an extremely high tolerance for trash but even I found this insufferable..
I watch a lot of garbage movies on purpose and love them. I have never watched this movie on purpose but I have a memory of catching parts of it somewhere. Maybe on a Roku channel years ago in between other b movies? Maybe at a friend's house when they were watching terrible movies? I don't have any idea, really. What I do remember was absolutely fucking terrible, and not in the fun kind of way.
This comes up every so often on the RiffTrax twitch channel and, try as I might, I can't make it through more than 20 minutes of it. The guitar noodling, the nonexistent plot, that fucking voice, god it's too awful to even be funny.
I remember watching some of it... looked like it was shot with an old-school VHS camcorder and used the built-in microphone on it too. The ninja stuff was funny
Now imagine sitting through the entire thing without the RiffTrax commentary track. That's what I did. 🙃
The RiffTrax version is free on YouTube, also.
Surely this aimless guitar noodling can’t last the whole movie, right?
