EVIL TOONS (1992)

Welp. After the punishing twofer I experienced, I decided to regroup and watch something that's terrible in a gentle way.

ENTER: FRED OLEN RAY!

Ahhhh, what an excellent palate cleanser. Don't get me wrong, this movie was terrible - but in a nice predictable way. First of all, despite the awesome looking cover art, and the rad title, the cartoon characters in this are actually only onscreen for like, ten-ish minutes of the running time. IF that. However, what the shitty budget lacks, it more than makes up for in nudity. Of course. Are you surprised? As with every Fred Olen Ray/Jim Wynorski film every single female character eventually ends up topless at worst, and writhing with sexy feeling at best. Thus, this film is super dreck. Not that you'd be surprised. What I did like about this movie was the main lead. She was actually super cool and fairly decent at acting.

The plot was ridiculous as well, and that is enough of a segue for me to mention that fucking DAVID CARRADINE is the evil otherworldly villan. His role is so so so shitty, and he phones it in so hard. I, for one, cannot believe he is in this movie, but then, there you go!

Basically, this movie is like if Cool World sucked and had a shitty budget (hahaha, wait.) Okay, it's like Who Framed Roger Rabbit sucked really hard and Bob Hoskins was totally coked up and washed out (wait?)

I rate this movie the same amount of time that cartoons were actually onscreen: 1/15
Still it was a nice palate cleanser.

  1. True story: When I was a kid I went to the video store with my mom, saw this on the shelf and tried to rent it immediately. Dickhole video clerk told my mom it wasn't appropriate and I had to get something else. I eventually tried to watch it as an adult and fell asleep astonishingly fast. Have not felt the need to re-watch.
