Coming to a Theater Near You

As often happens in a house where the adults are true Gen-X’ers, conversations are often peppered with cultural references and many video, movie and television quotes. Today, for some strange reason, conversation revolved (as it often does when Necropolis is involved) to matters of….how shall I say….adult humor (not strange), when I came back with a line from a movie I haven’t thought of in years (the strange part).

During our college tenure, we watched some of the most eclectic movies and videos I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something. And, no, I’m not referring to porn. This particular reference was to a Troma movie known as Redneck Zombies. I could probably go all into the plot, subplot, etc of this movie, but from Wikipedia (and yes, I was more than a little startled to see that RZ had its own wiki entry):

The film is set in rural Maryland, where a 50 gallon drum of radioactive waste, misplaced by the military, is discovered by a group of rednecks who decide to use it as part of their new moonshine still. The resulting toxic mixture turns the simple townsfolk into ravenous zombies, who attack a passing group of nearby campers.

No, Citizen Kane, it ain’t.

Funny? Oh, yeah.

What’s also funny are the reviews on Amazon. For whatever reason, Nec and I found ourselves on there and just about messed ourselves laughing at some of the reviews. Some of our favorites (with errors):
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WATCHING THIS MOVIE, GET REALLY HIGH OR DO SOME KIND OF DRUG BEFORE YOU WATCH IT
One of the greats of all time; look for Ferd Murtz, Elly Mae, Perky the Pig, and the two guys sitting on the couch waiting for their moonshine shipment. Sample dialogue: "I'm a-goin' fishin'." "Have ya got worms?" "Yeah, but I'm a-goin' anyway." Must be seen to be appreciated (and believed). Great theme song by "The Poison Squirrels from Hell".

Ok ill keep this short dont buy this peice of crap go and spend your hard earnd
money on 13 $1.00 hookers. The herpes you contract is fare more pleasant than
this hunk of dirt farming inbred trailer park trash movie.


If you hate yourself, I recommend you watch this movie.

And, my personal favorite:

If you like bad acting combined with a whole lot of chicken blood, this movie is for you! THIS NEXT LINE WILL CONVINCE YOU TO SEE THIS MOVIE: You get to see a guy get stabbed in the eye with a corncob.

If you’re interested in what weirdness entertains the adults in the McD home, you can go to YouTube for a RZ trailer. Warning this trailer contains graphic violence and should not be watched by people under the age of 18 or with a weak stomach.
