Hubcap

....and then they got lost. Maybe it played really well in the area where they filmed but meaningless outside GA. Yes, the acting was stiff and wooden, but that's to be expected in a campy movie - several times I saw the string pulling the cap, nice!

At least it didn't look like shot-on-video garbage or 'found film' excrement, film quality was good and the characters were at least partially believable. The downside was all the subplots that go nowhere and hackneyed clichés of red/blue/black/white/hick/city. And why did the hubcap get relegated to a minor side note?

Oh, at least we didn't have to see guys' gluteus which seems to be the the only skin allowed now.

I was willing to give this a go, due to it having a reasonable rating on imdb and also a very strange premise. Unfortunately i found this movie to be incredibly tedious with a terrible script, amateur acting, incredibly bad sound quality and poor attempts at comedy (cinematography is fine for the most part). A number of characters introduced were completely pointless and the plot was all over the place. The film really seems to completely run out of steam in the.third act; they even 'shot the rodeo' ....Ive seen some great low and even no budget movies in the past, but this is one everyone can safely skip as you will be missing nothing. Wash your car instead.

I got fooled by some of the reviews saying "give it a chance" or "ridiculously entertaining", but those are shameless lies obviously written by cast or crew of this ridiculous piece of total poop. At first I thought this is a parody and its taking a mickey out of some popular culture or what-not, so I'll give it a chance and wait for some laughs. But lo and behold, nothing funny at all was ever said or done in this disaster of a flick. There are no jokes in this movie, nothing even close, just sadness, bad acting, horrible writing and despair. No horror, no action, no drama...nothing. Well, the hubcap threw a rock at someone at one point using a wooden stick and a garbage pale. Terrific! This most've been some kid's high school project but waited till the last minute and whipped something up over the weekend just to do something, and this is the result: an absolute pice of trash of a movie that does not deserve anyone's time, trust me! It's not worth the disk space it occupied on my hard drive for 2 hours I had it before it got forever deleted and sent to the wastelands of digital trash where it belongs.

I know...a movie about a flying hubcap that kills people...you are thinking LSD 3AM obscure channel with nothing else on.... However.....

Give it a chance! The movie wasn't as silly as the title might lead you to believe. There was an actual plot with a couple of subplots that made sense when put together. And the reason for the Hubcap becoming to life again there is a reason behind it...replace "Hubcap" with an animal etc., a protector of the wronged and it does make sense.

Of course the token sex scenes (which IMHO weren't really needed) and some salty F bombs were minor detractions, and a little slow at times but again not too shabby.

And of course the ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel.... How about "The Cap is Back!"

So in conclusion, don't judge by the title alone...put it all together and give it a chance, its not all that bad!

A very odd movie about a vengeful hubcap that is the reincarnated spirit of a run over handicapped veteran rolling around a small town helping some people out of a jam and injuring others doing bad things. Whoever came up with this plot is either a genius or crazy as hell. Nothing questionable, no nudity, some foul language, interesting cast of characters that stereotypically define an area in Georgia. The hubcap seems to know who to wreak havok with or scare or save from harm like it has eyes and a conscience as it rolls around or adheres to a car or truck to get to a far destination. Goofy story but strangely odd enough to keep you wondering what will happen next. Very odd indeed. You'll never look at a hubcap the same ever again.
