Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong

Sure, it's barely March the first, but dear God was this terrible. I mean, just WOW! First of all, you get these annoying flashbacks from both movies, like a complete slap in the face to all the fans out there, and then they try the shortest, most idiotic crossover I've ever laid eyes on.

I rated it 2! Long time since I've done it, but it was all a complete amateur waste of time, money and some actors. Horrible, dreadful, it is just so hard to fully explain it to you. Maybe, just maybe, if you are like HUGE die-hard fan of both series, and still I hold my doubts, there aren't enough "maybes" in the world, but, maybe you can accept this without crying your eyes out.

Sad case where words can't begin to describe this mess. Stay away. Pretend it does not exist. Don't poke it, don't look at it, don't even say its name. Go elsewhere. Watch Freddy vs Jason!

GINGERDEAD MAN VS. EVIL BONG is, it has to be said, a disappointing team-up between the two Full Moon franchises. The problem with this one is that the budget is lower than ever and it's all talk in a single set for the most part. The two series villains aren't even enemies, not really, so don't expect any kind of big showdown or anything. For the most part this is made up of the usual quirky, drug-infused comedy, with the novelty of the main actress playing dual roles (which comes from her playing different characters in each series). Some of the humour's not bad and the cast are certainly game for a laugh, but I was expecting a little more from this one.

The first thing to ask yourself when thinking about watching a movie titled Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong is this: Are you able to switch off your brain and embrace some mildly entertaining, low budget lunacy from the good folks at Full Moon? The titular characters from the Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong series meet in a movie which should, at the very least, satisfy fans of either franchise. The film might service the Evil Bong series slightly more, but there's enough foul mouthed dough-boy Gingerdead man to go around. Larnell is the only one of the stoner quad to return along with Rabbitt, the friend/foil of the series. Larnell and his height-challenged head-shop employee String find themselves in the path of destruction when Gingerdead man decides to take out Sarah Leigh (from the original Gingerdead Man) once and for all! It ain't high art, folk. But if you're in the market for something light and stupid from Full Moon, have at 'er. And at least it isn't as awful as Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys.

What can I say, some days you wake up and start your day like every other but for some reason this one day your life is changed forever for no apparent reason. That was my life today, after my first viewing of Gingerdead man vs Evil Bong the only thing my body was capable of doing was gasping in disbelief that something so masterful could have been created by humanity. Not only is this one of the greatest acting performances of all time it has maybe one of the single most thoughtout, lore dense, creative universes in cinema history. All I can say is, thank you for your lasting impact on cinema.

Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong (2013) is available for free on Tubi and tells the tale of our favorite Gingerdead Man still on the warpath against Sarah for trapping him in the Gingerbread Man. The Gingerdead Man partners with the Evil Bong after she promises to turn him back into a man; meanwhile, Sarah partners with Larnell in hopes of stopping the two killers. This movie is directed by Charles Band (Puppetmaster) and stars John Patrick Jordan (Mad Men), Robin Sydney (The Gingerdead Man), Sonny Carl Davis (Thelma & Louise) and Peter Donald Badalamenti (Bad Boys II). The storyline for this matches the two movies up well together and the two sets of characters naturally match up well together also. The comedic content is consistent with the other pictures in both series (not quiet as good as some of the other films but the content is identical). There isn't really any worthwhile kill scenes to reference. The movie is fun if you're a fan of the series but not particularly good outside of that. I'd give this a 3/10.
