DVD Reviews of Disco Godfather
DVD Review: So Bad, It's HILARIOUS!
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie IS for those of us who love to laugh...and OMG, this is one big, unintentional laughfest. I'm so glad this one is available on DVD. One line in particular still gets my girlfriends and me giggling: "We've got to Whack the Attack!" This is one example of one truly low-budget flick. And power to it! Attack the Whack or Whack the Attack...either way, this is one film that belongs in your cult movie collection. Put it next to I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and you've got a fab double-feature blaxploitation extravaganza.DVD Review: An Amazing PCP-fueled Epic! Attack the Wack!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
'The Avenging Disco Godfather' is actually a rather amazing film. The first time you watch it, you will find yourself transfixed and mesmerized, but unsure as to why. There are a number of reasons for this...
The lighting in this film is so completely inept and perplexing that it will blow your mind. I truly believe that all of the budget that was initially set aside for lighting was spent on PCP. This entire film appears to be lit with disco lights. There are some scenes that are so dark, all you can see is teeth. Occasionally people wander towards the back of the frame and disappear. You really have to see it to appreciate the amazingness, words cannot convey...
The Doctor. If your Doctor looks like this, you are in trouble. First off, he looks like a PCP dealer. The man is always wearing sunglasses. The scene in which he is in the SUPER dark hospital room with Bucky, he has his shades on. There is no logical reason for a man (let alone a doctor) to where sunglasses in a pitch black room. And further more, what possible reason would there be for keeping a hospital room as black as midnight? I think the main reason for this, is that everyone was on PCP, making things appear much brighter than they actually were...
The PCP Factory. The PCP factory that is apparently supplying most the world with PCP is a small room in an abandoned warehouse with no laboratory equipment. Sweetmeat (the head PCP distributor) rolls into his 'factory' and demands that 1500 gallons of PCP be produced. Huh? A lab of this size would have trouble producing an ounce of PCP in an afternoon. 1500 gallons? hahaha. Not only that, they were also supposed to dip 10,000 cigarettes in the PCP at the lab. That is 19 liquid ounces of PCP per cigarette!!! Wow!
The Disco Godfather himself. Rudy Ray Moore is an incredible actor, with an even more incredible sense of fashion. Put your weight on it!!! His gift for delivering dialogue, being a pimp, a superStar DJ, and blowing a bunch of nose candy off of a Saturday Night Fever Album cannot be topped. In addition, his Kung-Fu stylings are not of this Earth...
The incredible PCP freak-outs. These are truly the work of a cinematic visionary. These scenes take you deep inside the mind of an individual in the midst of a deranged PCP freak-out. Very believable...
The amazing ending of this film can truly not be described. I love how The Disco Godfather is captured, forced to wear a gas mask, and gassed with PCP. Following this, he has an amazing sequence of visions involving PCP archetypes, and his mother. Things then proceed to abruptly end. I think they must of run out of film...
The dialogue. The mistake-filled press conference is a sight to behold. Try and count the mistakes, I dare you. Attack the Wack!!!
There are so many more examples of ineptitude and confusion that I could probably write a book if I were so inclined. However, duty calls and I must go out and Attack the Wack. Put your Weight on it!!!
DVD Review: Funny!
Summary: 4 Stars
No, this film isn't meant to be funny. But it is anyway! Rudy Ray Moore is "The Avenging Disco Godfather", a heroic...D.J.? Very odd, and quite weird as well. The story centers around drugs (go figure), and the young people who get high have weird visions about...basketball (see, I told you it was weird).
And the ending...I can't even describe it (or understand it for that matter).
If you like bad cinema, please check this one out!
DVD Review: Laughed so hard, made my side hurt.............
Summary: 2 Stars
Man,lemme tell you. This movie is funny WITHOUT a beer. If you're expecting a high quality Soul Cinema picture, with somewhat decent resolution level & clarity ( i.e. Willie Dynamite, Shaft, etc ) this ain't it. The lighting in this movie is terrible ! LOL !!! The dialogue is muffled, the editing sucks and the acting is incredibly hilarious ( though it wasn't meant to be ). Like some of the other reviews attested, this mug is funny.
Just the first opening sequence alone had my eyes wide open in disbelief as Rudy Ray ( aka Tucker ) makes his entrance into his disco with a purple one piece polyester suit, low cut showing a bunch of spiders chillin' on his chest havin' a meetin, movin' his pelvic area around, dancin' like he's the hottest thing in town. I was rollin'. Then he goes and gets behind the DJ booth and starts playin' some tunes. His nephew Bucky is there with his girlfriend and some friends, and eventually leaves to go outside, when he's pressured by one of his friends to take some angel dust, which he does. His girlfriend sees the effect it has on him and runs back into the disco screamin' and cryin', when Rudy Ray says in a " terribly practiced tone " - " What has happened to Bucky !!!?" LOL !!!!!
Oh my goodness, I could go on and on about the terrible scenes in this movie, it's ridiculous.
This man can cuss so good it makes my side hurt. I mean, you'll laugh at the quality alone, but if you really wanna get hoarse from laughter, get some friends together, y'all take down a couple of beers and watch how easy the laughter rolls out. I guess i'm late into the game with this one since I just saw this movie for the first time, but I've heard Dolemite is alot funnier than this. I gave this movie 2 stars 'cause the writing sucked and the halucinations were prelonged, but besides that, I was pleased at how much this movie made me laugh.
DVD Review: Rudy Ray Moore Is The Greatest Man That Ever Lived
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend all Rudy Ray Moore movies, especially "Petey Wheatstraw, The Devils Son In Law." His movies are some of the absolute greatest things ever made.
