Backyard Dogs

What a horrible, awful movie. I saw it at Blockbuster and thought 'Wow, a movie about backyard wrestling! Excellent!' And it went downhill from there. Words alone can't describe my disappointment. How appropriate that it stars a Power Ranger, because it makes it feel even more like an episode gone awry. I just don't understand....the guys who do this for real do more painful-looking stuff than in this movie. Why couldn't the actors/stuntmen at least make SOME of the offense look somewhat dangerous? I won't even get into the awful love triangle, because it's not even worth talking about. Save the only film appearance by Hayabusa that I'm aware of, this movie is a complete throwaway. Not even worth a rental. If you get it offered to you for free, ask if you can have something else instead. >

I just saw this movie a week or so ago and I must admit that I am a changed man because of it. I have been struggling to be a nudist painter for the last eight years, and I was beginning to lose hope. After seeing this breath-taking film, I have recaptured that passion by which by which my original dream was guided. I thank the makers of this film for what they have done in my life.

I remember seeing this when it came out, back in the days of VHS tapes and video stores. It looked horrible, so of course I felt the need to rent it. I was not disappointed, as it was terrible. Terrible in all the right ways, especially the acting. What do you expect when there's a former Power Ranger in one of the lead roles. It was non-stop laughter all the way through. The "wrestling" was bad, even by backyard wrestling standards, which says a lot. I'd love to know how much they had to pay Hayabusa to be in this piece of crap. When I happened to notice it on Amazon last week for $1.99, I decided to revisit the past on DVD. So happy that I bought it, since it was just as I remembered it.

It will make a fine addition to the "so bad it's good" section of my DVD collection.

I just watched this movie to see how it compares to "Manos".... This movie was he scariest movie I've ever seen, it made me slit my wrists, the movie had so many SH*TTY moments that it makes you want to end your life. This movie also made me laugh, I laughed while i was on my couch with my wrists bleeding going "yes the pain will be over soon". I cried when the movie started, I was crying because My eyes were being raped by the scary images that this movie made. I was also crying because this was the only thing on TV, and i couldn't find this remote, and it was edited for TV, if your going to make a movie that is as bad as this, you should not edit it for TV, you should let America see this movie to know how many dumb people actually live in LA

The movie can pretty much be summed up with a paradox: its so bad that its good. Kept me laughing throughout, and how bout that voodoo guy who always seemed to be showing up. The casting is impeccable, wouldn't have changed a thing. Loved the shooting locations, and whenever I watch this I always get in a good mood---go figure. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up... oh wait the fine Bree Turner was in it-- THREE THUMBS UP!!!
