Hoooooly shit!!! I saw that movie in the theatre when it came out! And of course it's just as bad as I remember it...

[@gutspuck721]

I LOVE Brad's reaction whenever a movie manages to make a joke land on him, that smirk he makes on the camera is priceless! I mean times like 13:12

[@AdmiralAwsm]

Well there's at least one reassuring thing about this movie: it's comforting knowing that bad spoof movies have been around for decades.

[@doctorhandsome]

So is the title supposed to be a play on "Psycho," a movie that came out 22 years earlier? That's... incredibly sad. Still, it seems like one joke in 50 here actually lands, which puts it head and shoulders above the SeltzBerg crimes against humanity.

[@SeigiChoujin]

It might be, Psycho 2 came out the same year I believe

[@vectorequinox6202]

Isn't it sad that having two percent of jokes land makes it a relative success?

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Psycho is a classic. It's timelessly spoofable.

[@HereComesPopoBawa]

There really was a sort-of Hitchcock Renaissance in the early 1980s. The man himself had recently died. The Psycho sequels were beginning. Alfred Hitchcock Presents and many of his movies were getting increased television play. Culminating in the mid 80s with the rebooted Alfred Hitchcock Presents. So it was actually a pretty relevant pop-culture reference, believe it or not.

OMG I saw this movie when I was like 11 years old and thought it was a comedy classic. And then I thought I'd just imagined the whole thing. But the killer's hummed music brings it all back. It was REAL!!! Still better than A Million Ways To Die In The West though.

[@phantomzone2725]

You're lucky to have a (mostly) clean copy to review. I have a Brazilian VHS so darker that even correcting the brightness makes the film much more dark, so you can't see anything but the delayed subtitles :( At least I can watch how the movie sucks nicely now. Thanks Brad ^^

[@gyromurphy]

Try watching it on a CRT TV. The transfer of video from coaxial or composite to HD TVs sometimes sucks. It'll be dark or extra pixelated.

[@phantomzone2725]

Honestly, with Vinegar Syndrome's recent blu-ray not only having a beautiful, crystal clear restoration but ALSO featuring a less commonly seen, raunchier R-Rated cut of the film, a re-review from the Cinema Snob ala Batpussy is totally doable.

[@phantomzone2725]

Still can't believe MPAA had to watch the whole movie to give an R rating

[@FlickorTreatProductions]

I didn’t know about this movie until just a couple months ago. Some dude at Monster Mania in Cherry Hill was looking for a dvd copy of it. How convenient for a Wakko review to come now.

[@splinky9226]

14:05 to 14:08 Heres' a fun fact about The Elephant Man movie: Believe it or not, it was produced by none other than parody legend Mel Brooks who went out of his way to have his name removed from the credits in fear that people who saw it attached to the film would go in thinking it would be a comedy. He also produced the Cronenberg remake of The Fly and John Hurt being the star of Elephant Man may explain why he was so eager to reprise his role as Kane from Alien in Spaceballs.

[@germanvisitor2]

So now we know what Uncle Fester did during the time he had lost his memory.

[@SpeedyEric1]

Hot wings Oreos? Can't imagine why they're NOT being sold here in the states. With a title like "Wacko," it makes me think that the movie will be bashing on Michael Jackson, much like how Wired bashed John Belushi. The killer looks like my version of Halloweenie, and this was long before Phelous made HIS version. 3:44- I wish this WAS that Power Rangers episode where they fight the pumpkin monster that raps. 6:58- Great, he's turning into Charles Brady from Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. 11:26- Terrific, and horror spoof with a school shooting. 14:08- This movie drops more pointless shit than a Seth MacFarlane production. 14:57- Worst Law & Order: SVU cold opening ever. 19:47- You're not the only one. Wacko is on the same level of "WHAT THE FUCK?!?" as Saturday the 14th.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I had the same thought when I rented "Jacko", a movie about a killer pumpkin-headed creature, or something.

[@SpeedyEric1]

Also, a movie with an incestuous father wanting to bang his own daughter. Is there anyone else thinking about Trump?

[@vistea1]

Okay, I definitely have never heard of this movie, and for good reason. This movie looks like "Student Bodies", but done on an even lower budget. Also what the hell is up with the cast. I mean George Kennedy, Stella Stevens, Joe Don Baker, Julia Duffy, Andrew "Dice" Clay, Jeff Altman, Charles Freaking Napier?! I wonder how these filmmakers conned these big names into this. Also the jokes in this movie are...ASS, we have a incestuous Dad who has the hots for his Daughters, a Greaser who comes out to showtunes who may or may not have been possessed, and a Cop who so caffeinated he could power the Hoover Dam. Great episode.

[@takuansoho5836]

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

They were probably all stoned out of their gords and thought it was really funny. What, you thought the laughing gas scene was staged? :)

[@princesstamika]

someone was definitely working out some sort of personal trauma involving incest.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

It was the 80's, we didn't know any better back then. Hell, we thought all kind of creepy, really non-PC stuff was funny. We were barbarians.

[@HereComesPopoBawa]

In those days, most people had like five TV stations. It was a different economy where distributors were desperate for content, so they would release anything. But unlike KZbin, content was expensive to create. In the 70s, it was grindhouse theaters and drive-ins. In the 80s it was VHS. A lot of people were well aware that they were turning out nonsense, but it was their job, and they had fun with it. Like most slackers, they didn't feel much incentive to put more effort into their job and make it into actual work.

[@Phan211]

I have been watching Snob since 2011. This is easily in the top 5 fucking weirdest things I have seen reviewed.

The bad thing about this movie is the delivery, the jokes aren't that bad really. Except for the DadXDaugther ones, I can see most of the jokes working if delivered by someone with talend, and edited by a professional.

[@billyjoelfan100]

That's how you know that this film is no Airplane, when it can't even make pedophilia funny.

[@1Hol1Tiger]

I get the feeling that they weren't making fun of pedophilia, so much as.... the director put his fetish (Creepy Old Men and Teenage Girls) into the film and passed it off as a joke. "Fetish passed off as joke" happens a lot more often than you'd think in creative works.... See Totally Spies where literally each episode is "What Transformation based Fetish happens to the girls this time? Hypnosis? Muscle? Furry? Dollification?" That said the whole... "Being scared of a Flasher until you notice he has a big dick" joke was kind of funny and the only thing that kills it is that it comes after an attempted rape....

[@psycher7]

Okay, that made me laugh far harder than it should have. Which automatically makes it better than the movie.
