Chicken Park

This should be the kind of movie I love: zero budget, appalling acting and ridiculous special effects. However, ridiculously unfunny spoofs and lame movie in-jokes manage to completely destroy just about every guilty pleasure this film has to offer.

Not that it is all horrific. Fans of Z-grade cinema will enjoy the scenes set in Chicken Park. The giant chicken effects are hilarious and Bruce, the cross-dressing, giant gay chicken is truly a marvel of our times. Likewise, the randy chicken that rips off Sigourney's top, exposing her breasts. Now, that's just classy film-making!

It's a shame that these moments of poultry flavoured hilarity only account for approximately 10 minutes of the film. The remainder of the movie can only be described as a cinematic car wreck. It's not only poorly made but also excruciatingly boring. I was also genuinely upset to see an actress of the calibre of Rossy De Palma in a film this dire. How has the one time muse of Pedro Almodovar found herself playing a character called Necrophilia, who dresses like Morticia Adams and gets pleasured by "Thing" while watching a video tape of someone undergoing surgery? Someone please rescue this diva from Z-grade movie hell!

In conclusion, this film is nothing but a putrid heap of fresh chicken poo. Fans of trash are advised to simply fast forward to the giant chickens and leave the rest of the film for those with sadomasochistic tendencies.

Think of 'Chicken Park' and 'Kramer vs Kramer'. I would rather watch Chicken Park again, at least it didn't pretend to be anything more than a quick, cheap rip-off. And there were some mildly amusing parts, and a fairly attractive chick (human variety) who bared her breasts. El cheapo and too dependant on tiresome sexual referencing trying unsuccessfully to be funny, but tolerable because it knew it was bad.

You can never be sure what to make of this movie. Yes, it is terrible, but it is terrible in a non-sensical, not-to-be-taken-too-seriously kind of way. The basic idea is a thin satire of Jurassic Park, done with chickens instead of dinosaurs, and the lack of plot seems to help it in whatever it was trying to do. There is a sort of oddball humour value to the whole experience, although I'm not sure why. Perhaps it is funny only because it is so bad; some of the jokes are so incomprehensible that the only thing one can do is laugh, if only then with a fierce grimace overcoming your face. In terms of entertainment, I'd say about a four out of ten, in terms of quality in acting, scripting, directing, a zero would not quite be small enough across the board.

I first saw Chicken Park a few years back, and it was crap. I watched it for about 20 minutes and was disgusted. As far as I can remember, there was a giant chicken chasing people, as you can see it goes to show how stupid it was that I can't hardly remember. Absolutley disgusting scenes in it and really is not funny in any way possible. Like someone said earlier, they have tried to do it like the masterpiece Jurassic Park(because they have put a chicken on the front instead of a dinosaur)But Jurassic Park shouldn't be involved with this slag.

What was Jerry Calà thinking? What a fool!

When it comes down to it, this movie shouldn't be viewed by anyone. What a piece of junk.

This movie isn't bad. It's beyond bad. It is indescribable.

Living in Australia, which seems to be about the only place a copy of this is available, i borrowed a copy as a laugh. What did i think???

I can't really say, because it was impossible to watch.

I Tried 6 times (yes, really 6) to watch the movie from start to finish. The furthest i got was about 20 minutes with it on in the background, and that was still too much. I managed to watch it all in segments of about 5 minutes at a time (i had to keep myself sane) but that was still WAY too much of this crap.

If you read any of my other reviews, you will see that i watch bad movies for fun, and i have an extremely tough stomach for them. I can sit through almost anything. This movie was the first movie which ever defeated me, and the only other two were 'santa with muscles' starring hulk hogan, and an unofficial baywatch movie made in somebody's backyard (its not even on the imdb). But i managed about 40 minutes of them. This movie has NOTHING going for it at all.

I challenge you to sit through it.
