Wacko (1982)

Powerful

Please don't spend money on this.

Great Film overall

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Innocent fun is how I describe "Wacko". The frantic pace involves a lot of misses, but the occasional hits are quite funny. George Kennedy steals the movie with his deadpan humor as an incompetent doctor. "I'm performing a hysterectomy on Mr. Cooper". Taking shots at several stereotyped horror movies, "Wacko" perhaps tries to cover too much ground, with too many characters. All this is quite forgivable when in the context of the spoof that it is. Andrew "Dice" Clay fans will most likely be disappointed in his muted performance. Other "B" movie faces pop up as wacky characters (pun intended). Everyone tries hard, and a rating of 6.0 is probably close to correct. - MERK

I was 4 when this came out and it is a vivid memory of both my brother and I. I have been going into HMV for years saying can you order a film called "the lawnmower killer." Now i know where i have been going wrong. Oh my God, what a film, "Daddy what are you doing??" "Just, err, mowing the lawn." "Sure Daddy, that's what you always say." And the guy who spat the pea soup out after his head rotated 360 degrees. Pure genius and the cop who sees a pool of blood and bends over and picks a sandwich from his pocket, dips into the blood, bites the sandwich, "erm... ketchup." Comedy Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!I also recall Damian at the dinner table and lots of cake being handed out. It was like everyone got a slab of cake and after it was handed out, Damian at the table pulled a fork out of his leg and ate with it and when he finished the cake, he stabbed the fork back into his leg. Great!! And Daddy took the chainsaw out and chopped off his missus's hair, which was an afro. These are all just memories from over 20 years ago so i think i am doing great.

you got to see this film, watched it alot when i was little. heads in a vice, pumpkin head lawn mower killers and dead granma's enjoying the family meal. unfortunately i cant remember alot else, there was definately whipped cream bikini death, what a can remember is that this film is a total laugh & my mates & i loved it. WACKO! definatley.

Watched it a thousand times as a teenager! Gotta buy it and hope that it is as good as I remember it back then.Though like most things revisited, I'll probably wish I hadnt, but Im quite sure I or you wont be disappointed and laugh your a$$es off. It is available to buy through Amazon.
