Cheap

I wish I could find a copy! This is an outstanding piece of sexual satire and general weirdness by Flo & Eddie, with a surreal sex scene that's an obvious and direct precursor to the one in The Wall. I managed to save an audio tape of only part of the song with our favorite lines: "Dogs, horses, or a guy, Give someone DEAD a try!" and Willard's creation of his artificial girl.

Yeah, I get it. This movie is supposed to be offensive and cheap or whatever and that's the beauty of it but come on. This movie would not be acceptable if they tried to release it today. It's easy to say that this is easily one of the most homophobic, racist, and sexist cartoons ever made. And the said jokes involving that content aren't even funny. On top of that, the animation was very crudely done and was never easy to look at. Only watch this hippy crap if you're wasted.

D-

The soundtrack is fun and the movie feels self aware for the most part, but there is an underlying sense that it may not be smart enough for that. Add to that the deeply unsatisfying ending and it's difficult to tell what this movie wants to be.

I stumbled across this movie in a mom & pop 80's movie rental place. It was on the bottom shelf and being the crazy 20 something I picked it up. My girl and friends loved it so much that when the mom & pop closed and they sold off all their titles, I bought it (VHS). Still have it and every once in a while I'll pop it in for a chuckle. A buddy of mine and I still joke around quoting lines from it. The cop/lesbian(s)/duck scene is one of the all time favorites and is probably the cause for an earlier than normal demise of the late great John Wayne. I'm not much of a movie critic but I will say that this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. "You've been on my s$%t list for so long that I had to make a new s$%t list, you know, like private stock." "Duck's don't love America, they fly over it and leave big green kaka all over it. Why just the other day I was havin a drink of java and a duck flew over and left a duck terd in my coffee cup. Ducks love America." Crazzzzzzy!!

I first saw this movie in high school when one of my friends rented it from an independent video store (VHS) in the late 80's. We all loved it, and I have always tried to spread the gospel of Dirty Duck since. It is the only movie that I ever owned both on VHS and now on DVD. The director of this movie, Charles Swenson, also made a little-seen kids movie called Twice Upon a Time, which is also recommended viewing for fans of subversive animated movies. That film has no gratuitous nudity or profanity, but has a very similar animation style (hand-drawn/cut animated scenes over collages). I watch it a few times a year now and always recommend it to friends. The songs are fantastic, I would love to see a soundtrack at some point. Unique animation style, wildly offensive dialog, and a rambling story make for a very entertaining 75 minutes!! It also pays to pay very close attention to the screen, because there are several throw-away gags that appear for only a few seconds scattered throughout.
