This film is un-ironically on of my favorites of all time. I love pretty much all of Gorge Millers filmography. E.T. 2 was the first one I saw of his but I'd say that this one left the bigger impression on me. I get why some people wouldn't like this kind of film at all, but I really think there's something to learn from films like this.
The style in which this film is made suites the story perfectly well. It's a comedy filmed in a comedic way. Its technical aspects are so bad but it fits so well. Unrefined audio, sudden cut and the changes in color tempters. It's all "bad" but it is obviously done on purpose.
The fight scenes are beautifully simple and armature. It's pretty obvious that this film inspired other films like "Comedyception 2" to do similar things in its fight scenes. (Not just fight scenes, but the way sustain characters are introduced as well, and how they leave the film. Like Racist Santa at the end of his fight with Broke Lee in this film, and Blind Jesus after he fights the Man In the hat in Comedyception 2)
The use of sudden cut in and out of music really gives the film that comedic flair. The blocking is usually pretty stander and nothing special but on occasion they are some shots that look pretty good.
Gorge's performance is absolutely perfect, Dr. Sack was also nice. Broke Lee and Pookey did their job well enough but I would have like to see more from them. Dade stole the show in every scene he was in. Shaman also did a great job and I couldn't see anyone else in the role. My only complaint is Pink Guy. He did real get to do anything really. And Last but not least, Gorge as Chin Chin was again perfect. You can really feel all the emotions in the room when Frank and Chin Chin are going at it.
Overall this film was great. My only real problem with it was the ending, it's rather abrupt, and we don't really get any closure. Even when the sequel to this film came out I didn't feel like it matched the tone of this film. I would say that this film is probably the best of the "Filthy Frank" films, maybe only behind "FILTHY FRANK VS CHIN CHIN" It's kinda hard to stay objective when it comes to comparing the older Frank with the newer one. These films are classics in the Filthy Frank universe. I would have loved to have seen a feature film in this style and with more emphasis on the plot and a bit less on just being funny.
This film is great and you should all go watch it.
