The Great Lester Boggs

It seems like I am one of the few people to actually finish the movie! Yes, I am from THE redneck county. I recognize many of the places in the film. My friends and I almost killed it when the incessant talking began, but we were well-rewarded. Yes, the funniest thing in all movie history happened. We saw not only the boom mike but the BOOM-MAN complete with boom mike. Wonderful stuff. Worst movie ever. And I make it a point to see bad movies...

...otherwise, it would get enough votes to take its proper place in the bottom #100 list. Hootch County Boys is the ONLY movie I have not been able to finish because of its badness. Boring, illogical, and horrendous sound. You can see the microphone in Lester Boggs' first scene (which is an hour or so of incomprehensible monologue).

I cannot bring myself to watch past the first 25 minutes. In the opening motorcycle chase, the "bad-ass biker gang" members fall off their bikes for no reason. And there's some lame joke about a tree. And Lester Boggs flies a bi-plane. Then talks. And talks. And talks. And talks. Or something. Unwatchable nonsense.

From the start I couldn't help but see the words "Go West, Young Man." in my mind. This movie is probably the hardest you will ever have a problem with watching all the way through. So even if you are the avid B-movie fan, when you finally do get to the end you will be glad you did. It is worth it to see all the nonsense that ensues in this film. Lots of bad editing and corny music makes it completely nostalgic and captures the movies of it's type from that time. The acting and plot kind of drag at times. But there are some scenes where you are like "Whoah, I'm glad I got to see that!" Once again, another classic B movie. I'm glad I already own this much sought after collectible in all it's absurdity!! Please remake this film. That would be great to see. Thanks for reading my Review!!

There are a few wrecks here, not the least of which is this film in general. Malcolm's purposeless crotch-rocket tour stops near Mountain Glen, AR, after rescuing LeRoy and meeting trick-flier Lester and his bi-plane. Next, Malcolm gets smitten with Susan. Much of the action includes stuff which just wouldn't happen: hell, the most accident-prone of all blue-hairs drives better than this. The acting ain't all that great, either. Add to that, lousy sound and shallow plot, and there's little positive to hang your hat on. So be forewarned: sparse results should dictate sparse investment.

Hootch County Boys starts out promising enough...that is, promising in a bad-movie kind of way. The cross-country biker gang chase is fun and cheezy enough to actually bear watching a couple times. However, the movie 'boggs' down into garbage with the entry of the loathsome Lester Boggs, whose dialogue makes little to no sense whatsoever. And he simply will not stop talking. I still haven't had the intestinal fortitude to completely sit through this movie, I confess. It just makes me too sad.
