Review of Fireballs

Fireballs (1989)
7/10
4 small town losers become firemen and bring along a pet parrot that likes to party. They get the job, then women, then get fired.

It may be an exercise in bad film making but the bad taste takes on a life of it's own. It is so bad it is funny at times in that very fact. It surely is not boring and will elicit an emotion of some sort. As far as b movie fodder goes, it funny because it is obvious the film makers were serious about the endeavour but clueless about film making rules and standards. In one scene they race to what you think is a fire but end up at a surprise birthday party for their pet parrot that drinks, sings dirty limericks and snatches women's clothing away from them when they least expect it. Of course there is plenty of gratuitous nudity and the continuity is atrocious. In one sequence a truck travels to the scene of a fire and you see three different trucks in shots edited together. Bad but funny. A little bit anyway.
