Don’t you know that you are, under no circumstances, allowed to have a differing opinion? I’m told that nearly every time I comment on the ‘Club.

This whole show can go fuck itself.

It’s definitely “Street Trash”...I want to say Troma DID distribute it. The most ‘vile’ film (per Lloyd Kaufman) they ever distributed was “Bloodsucking Freaks” which is a genuine cesspool of vileness...but very watchable. 

Actually, now that you say that I can totally imagine a director of movie like this saying “fuck it - it’s Brechtian.” 

Oh, I had friends that did it and it was a pain in the ass.

Why do you hate joy?

Hey, A Boy and His Dog pretty much inspired the Fallout series with its dark post-apocalyptic humor (also according to Harlan Ellison, less convincingly, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road ripped it off). And Death Race 2000 inspired the early coin-op machine Death Race (best remembered for causing the first “video game

For some reason, the thing that seems cheapest and shittiest about this movie is that the priest’s collar appears to be fashioned out of an ACE elastic bandage.

The sequel to this movie is about a evangelical preacher at the end of the world who also changes into a dinosaur and it’s called VelociRapture.

This film would be worth it for the tagline “A man of the claw”. In fact, this film would be worth it if the main character just looked down the camera and said, “Velocipastor: A man of the claw!” and then turned around and slowly walked away with the camera fixed on his back.

I just assumed that was the cloaca.

Barney the Dinosaur had a greater commitment to verisimilitude.

i was expecting one of those inflatable t-rex costumes.

As opposed to the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/00s, when nobody made cheap exploitation movies? Nah, fun garbage like this has always been around, and it will always have an audience.

The VFX shot is a thing of beauty, but I particularly like how the camera weaves and bobs during the closing pan, like the DP is looking for anything of interest in real time. “Isn’t there a crucifix we could focus on? Maybe somewhere to the right?”

“We’ll pick you up after priest college!” sold it.

You’re absolutely right in that this feels like a Troma film, but in a good way like when they would occasionally pick up a much better than expected film (Combat Shock being an example) as opposed to the usual SOV crap they would distribute.

So, I saw the title of this movie and clicked the link (because of course I did), and as the page was loading up I thought to myself “No, this can’t possibly be a movie about a priest either fighting or becoming a dinosaur, even for this column that’s absurd, the ‘veloci-’ part of the title is probably just because

Greg Cohan is a lovely guy, and used to perform in a series of fan fiction readings I used to be part of in NYC, so it’s not a surprise at all that he ended up in something this bizarre. It’s really worth checking out if you love batshit movies!

I really hate Ozymandias' scheme in the movie because it wouldn't work. Everyone would be fucking pissed off that the US couldn't keep a leash on its super-clown. The entire point of Ozymandias' plan in the comic is that it focuses the world on an entirely external threat. When Manhattan leaves at the end of the
