Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver

Having watched both Gingerdead Man films in the series, and found less interest in the second film.

This third instalment once again features a different voice actor for the Gingerdead Man, as well as a new cast of characters. Now this film is better than the second film. It has a more fun and a silly entertainment factor. The look of the gingerbread looks more realistic at times and he seems to show more range.

Still this movie is quite cringe and off putting at times. Some gruesome kills by him with overloads of cgi. The ending was bizarre and made little sense, yet they seemed to make it as over the top as possible.

Noting that this film was ultimately the final film of the series (although there is a crossover film with the Evil Bong released after), we wonder if this third film was meant to end of the franchise.

The third part of the GINGERDEAD MAN franchise from Full Moon, and surprisingly the best yet; you'd expect the quality to drop as the series goes on, as is the case with mainstream cinema, but this one's gone from being awful to being not awful for a very low budget production. This time around the story involves time travel, with the antihero fleeing the authorities and ending up at a roller disco in 1976. The acting is pretty awful, as ever, but the writing has improved and there are fun spoofs of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and CARRIE along the way, alongside the cheesy gore. A sequel, which combines this franchise with the EVIL BONG franchise, followed.

After escaping from jail, The Gingerdead Man finds himself in a time machine destined for killing and roller disco.

Opening with a highly amusing Silence of the Lambs paradox including a muffin throwing his cream over Clarissa Darling stating he can smell her Muff-in, you know what in for - or do you? The previous Gingerdead instalments were B-average at best and this is no exception.

Once Ginger goes back to the 70's it's a series of some Porky's gags mixed with scene on scenes of roller skating linked by some t & a and few and far between kill scenes including gun play, acid attack and a nail gun assault. By the end it all crumbles apart with annoying kids and time travelling history figures cameos.

While no one expects Oscar material from Full Moon you always hope for some-kind of return to former glory. You could spend 80 minutes watching Puppet Master or Blood Dolls but if your a fan of Gingerdead and 1976 this one will roller Boogie you to death.

No pun intended - the movie starts off with a nod to ... well Silence of the lambs ... instead of lambs ... I mean humans (prisoners) we get ... well puppets of sorts. Clarice (or whatever her name is) is not holding a candle to the real one ... but I reckon if you like the joke you may not care.

This is not the only nod to other classic movies we get here. You either think this is hillarious ... or you'll have issues with it ... and find it annoying. This has a better (bigger) budget than the original ... and it has a really cringeworthy love scene ... and there are many things that you may find offensive ... but that is what you get with a movie like that ... I am almost surprised they didn't do another one (if you do not count the crossover with Evil Bong - not seen that one yet) ... be aware of what this is ... and if it is something you want to watch.

The Gingerdead Man is back once again! This time, he's in jail (insert terrible Silence of the Lambs parody here), he manages to break out, only to conveniently find a time machine to take him back to a 70s skating rink (cue terrible Carrie parody here). And those aren't even spoilers; that's the very beginning of the movie. With another terrible cover/parody of Bad Reputation to add cringe to the crap.

Gingerdead Man 1 was mediocre, offering little of value or interest to the viewer. Gingerdead Man 2 was a massive improvement, honing in on the comedy with jokes that worked well. Gingerdead Man 3 undoes everything that happened between the first two. This is a shallow shell of a franchise that wasn't all that much to begin with.

The humour of this film falls completely flat. This is the Leprechaun: Origins or Halloween: Resurrection of the series; it's just terrible. The jokes aren't funny, the Gingerdead Man isn't charismatic in the slightest, and the movie fails to maintain anything of interest. For the longest film of the trilogy (albeit not by much), it's by far the weakest and the biggest disappointment as a follow-up to the second one, which was just so much fun.

Consensus: If you watch one Gingerdead film in your entire life, watch PASSION OF THE CRUST. Give this one a big, fat, triple-sugar-dipped SKIP. Don't give this stale cookie your time.
