Two couples are traveling
across the country and see a roadside attraction called "Captain
Spaulding’s Gasoline and Chicken." Inside is a museum dedicated to every
freaky thing you can think of. Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) tells them
about local legend Dr. Satan. The kids go to see the tree where Dr.
Satan was hung and on the way they have a flat tire and are taken
hostage by a family of sadistic freaks.
In the interview section of
the DVD Sid Haig says something about most people will either love or
hate this film. Not a lot say it was all right. Well, I am one of those.
It was all right. I didn't hate it but I probably won't watch it again.
It was just a rehashing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on acid
with better music.
I like my movies a little
more straight-forward. All of the cut scenes and inserts just distracted
me from the movie. If it's going to be trippy at least let it be because
of drugs and not someone just trying to be "stylish". I hope that Rob
Zombie has learned from this picture and made The Devils Rejects a
better film. If you are a big fan of older horror movies then you will
probably enjoy it a lot more than I did.
Casting - Sid Haig's Captain
Spaulding is by far the best character in the movie. He is funny as
hell. Make sure you check out the DVD Menu for Captain Spaulding at his
best. Just let it play. Bill Moseley's Otis was just annoying. The dude
can't act for sh** and the character was just stupid looking. Sheri
Moon's Baby was entertaining and she looks good but there isn't much
else to say except that her laugh sounds exactly like Ash's girlfriend
in Evil Dead. (And she has a nice a**)
Here are a couple of random
thoughts. "Red Hot P***y Liquors" Need I say more? Dr. Satan and the big
dude with the ax look like a cross between Nemesis from Resident Evil:
Apocalypse and the Cenobites from Hellraiser.
The best parts of this disc
are Tiny F***ed a Stump in the DVD extras and as I said before, Captain
Spaulding on the opening menu.
Best Lines:
Captain Spaulding:
But MOST of all... f*** YOU!
[From the DVD menu select
screen]
Captain Spaulding: Well, sh** the bed! Howdy folks, come on in!
Well, I can see by those fancy britches and sassy hairdos that you all
ain't from around here. So, where ya from?
[Holds hand to ear]
Captain Spaulding: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Ah, I see. All
yall's must be mutes, cause ya wouldn't be f***in' with me, now would ya?
Grandpa Hugo: What
are you, Jimmy Olsen, cub reporter for the Daily A**hole?
Killer Karl:
That is it! I'm gonna count to ten and you're gonna hand over all the
cash, or I'm gonna splatter your grease paint mug across the state line!
One...
Captain Spaulding: F*** yo mama!
Killer Karl: Two...
Captain Spaulding: F*** yo sister!
Killer Karl: Three...
Captain Spaulding: F*** yo grandma!
Till we blog
again,
