Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver (2011)

Too much of everything

one of my absolute favorites!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The idea of rude humor and purposefully sexist comedy is fine--but you have to actually be funny. And you have to make something that holds together as a movie--I mean to sit through a feature length mess is not a good time.The standards for this series as far as something that looks like a movie are low but this one is a new low. A Lousy sound job with obvious and much post production dubbing of voices is probably the shoddiest element. The sound dubbing is no bad it almost sounds like a commentary track playing over the actual film sound--and mostly sounds are just missing.Director Butler doesn't show an understanding of how to shoot a movie it almost looks like it's shot and edited live--frequently the shots jump from one to another from a real location to poor sets.The editing struggles to cut from one camera angle to another without it looking like each show was done at a different location. The original footage is badly shot so I'll give the editor a bit of a break--one of these "you can't make chicken soup from chicken sh**, still there is no pace to the movie.The movie boast out of focus shots right in the first couple of minutes during a shoddy Silence of the Lambs parody--the kind of bad sketch comedy that would be editing out of any other movie.There are also ,crappy Digital and practical effects and acting that is elementary school talent show rejection level. Most of this can be blamed on Butler and, I'm sure, a super short shooting schedule. Then again this was made in Los Angeles where there are more actors than anywhere else on the planet so why you'd pick these people? Even for no money there are so many to choose from.Only possible note is that unlike the totally lazy films that Charlie Band directs himself, Butler actually has some ambition--to actually shoot in a real roller rink for a day or two and actually have some digital effects.If you liked the previous films I guess you can add one star to my review but still not something worth your time.Full Moon films seem stuck in many ways to what wasn't so great in the 1990's. Only back then they had, per film, budgets that now represent an entire years worth of movies. Sad.

1.for starters it supposed to be set in 1976, why the heck are there so many modern looking arcade games, Including the simpsons arcade game(considering it was released in the 90s and the show did not even debut until the late 80s), little to no real effort was made to make this a period piece for the 70s, save for clearly costume style clothing and a disco ball, they were too freaking lazy to unplug everything and move it somewhere else for their shots.2. the gingerdead man himself never resembled how he looked in the poster from the first or second film, ironically now the puppet is modeled (at least up close) to look like the one from the posters but now they use a different puppet for the poster for this one3. it has lost all of the seriousity(or seriousness) the first one had I have not seen the second one but judging by the trailer there was more effort, this is just garbage, straight up rotten month old garbage mixed with the stench of dead animals and fecal matter4. no explanation for anything in this film why does a maximum security prison have a time machine? how did the gingerdead man end up there? why does he share a cell with other killer baked goods and pastries? where did they come from? why would you keep acid at a roller skating rink? why didn't they even try to take this seriously? you can make this concept work and make it sort of scary, but they didn't they went the route that made this a bad movie, its not even a so bad its good kind of movie, its terrible, this could compete with oogieloves or return of the killer tomatoes(that was so bad I quit watching halfway through)I wouldn't recommend this to anyone save for someone on That guy with the glasses or channel awesome. I had to leave a lot of stuff out for due to the 1000 word limit final verdict: atrocious

after browsing netflix and coming across this title I thought "ah what the heck". My expectations were really low but what i saw was actually enjoyable. Our favorite killer cookie escapes from an asylum in a silence of the lambs spoof and ends up in 1976 at a roller boogie where everyone is involved in a whole another spoof, this one being Carrie. As the story unfolds i found myself being less interested in the gingerdead man who wasn't at the forefront of the story like a expected and instead began caring about what happened to the characters. at the end of it all i absolutely did not see the climax coming. two children find gingys remote and accidentally travel forward and backward in time until finally getting back with Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, and several other evil historical figures in tow. overall its a decent B movie with good amount of comedy and drama thats good for a Saturday night with popcorn and your boyfriend/girlfriend. 7/10

Gingerdead Man III delivers the B movie goods. Combine the following movies:Carrie Car Wash Saturday Night Fever Child's Play Puppemaster Silence of the LambsAdd one part camp, one part horror, and one part delicious B-Movie fun. Now you have the proper recipe for a killer cookie movie.Director William Butler has assembled an instant cult classic. The casting is spot-on, as well as the 1970s sensibilities. Great roller skating, great good old fashioned drive-in fun. The cast is great. Loved Muffy Bolding. Hilariously perfect in this bizarro 1970s alternate universe. Look for cameos from other well known Fullmoon favorites including one Robin Sydney.Put on your leisure suit, grab a bottle of your favorite alcoholic refreshment, turn down the lights, snap on the lava lamp, flick on the black light, and put in the DVD.
