Mad Cow

This is the 1st movie i can remember where virtually every scene and dialogue has a pun, joke, or some sort of sarcasm. Some of the cheeziest acting and sound effects {reminds me alot of Troma films), and just like the comedy "Airplane", it needs to watched several times (including the backgrounds) to catch every joke (even if some of them are really bad)..

If i had to give the best line...that would be almost impossible because there are at least 50 i can find (some originals and some copies of famous movies). Here's just one of my favorite lines.... "We contacted the department of special enforcement backup units for backup..."LOL! All of the actors (especially the lead undercover officer) are brilliant, whether over acting, underacting, or (in one scene), reading a script (done on purpose). Even though there are some terrible jokes, they are just as many good ones and i would reccommend this (whether you like cheap low budget comedies or not). Oh, i almost forgot...it's also a horror film.

MAD COW is a South African horror / comedy released through Troma. It's overflowing with idiot characters, absurd sight gags, awful jokes, and gushy, gory yuck.

Two factors raise it above the sum of its schlocky, cheeeze-filled parts: #1- Tanya van Graan. She's so very good at being so very bad, as the muddleheaded Charlize! She's funny and ties the whole mess together. #2- It's not typical of a Troma movie. At all. It's actually quite humorous in places, unlike the vast majority of Troma's sub-sludge output.

Is it a magnificent, classic masterpiece? Of course not! That would be silly! However, it is tolerable, even enjoyable, and, all things considered, that's a miracle!

Now, don't misunderstand. There are some stretches of dullness that boggle the mind. It's just that in spite of this, it somehow works!

The plot is best described as FRANKENSTEIN meets THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, mixed with dollops of AIRPLANE!, NAKED GUN, etc., all pickled in some unholy, bovine solution.

A killer cow-man is created through mad science, resulting in bloody mayhem, and sophomoric stupidity on a grand scale.

So, if you're in the mooood for udder nonsense, here you go!

WARNING: This movie contains a musical number, sausage bombs, and a full-on human / cow hybrid, zombie assault!...

Mad Cow was only somewhat entertaining. Aside from the 2 minutes of suspense, it was ridiculously stupid and poorly written.

It reminds me of the American film Mad Cow released in 2008 which was equally as poorly made.

I think it reaches out to only a very specific and very small population. you have to be alright with fake looking gore and borderline gore porn. And even then, it leaves quite a lot to be desired.

The filmmakers should have invested in cg rather than poor actors who were paid more than their lack of talent warranted.

The whole movie was very awkward as though it was deliberately trying to be bad. Anybody who would waste time and money to make (and moviegoers-to watch) something like this is clearly mental.

This is probably the worst idea ever. The movie has no story, terrible acting, and looks like it was written by 10 year olds. Don't waste your time.
