    Unwatchable vermin.

    This can't be considered one of the worst movies of all time, because that would be a compliment. I typically enjoy these stupid, trashy, redneck movies, but I couldn't even muster up the courage to finish watching this mess. Without doubt, this is the worst pile of garbage I have ever seen.

    I paid 2 bucks for this movie...and got ripped off

    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.

    GOTTA LOVE LESTER BOGGS THE BEST GOOD IL BOY AROUND

    I can't believe that other reviewer hated this movie I love it.It so cool and was a surprisingly big hit in the south.Although extremely rare today this is one movie worth finding.It basically a man goes off to find himself meets a new friend along the way then a cute girl and then he gets saved by Lester Boggs in his areoplane.Lester is the happy drunk of the town and his brother T.T.Boggs is the mayor.The rest of the movie is lester and his new friends annoying the town and T.T..Getting arrested and along the way there are some great chases and 2 huge crashes one in a truck and the other in a plane.If you don't like b'movies don't bother with this one but this is one great cult classic sour mash good time flick

    I have seen it all the way through!

    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...

    poor excuse for a movie

    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.
