I had seen this movie before, but I had forgotten its awfullness until me and Henderson decided to watch it last night. It has literally taken me 24 hours and half a bottle of Jack Daniels to fully comprehend (again) how dumb this movie is. It's really not even entertaining as a joke. Here are the absolute movie fails that have been scorched into my brain:
1. No explanation of what the hell this movie is about. Are all clowns evil? Are they really a race of monsters that kill humans with bad party tricks? Is the cotton candy acidic? Do real clowns explode when you shoot them in the nose? Guess we'll never know.
2. The main characters in this movie are so stupid, you actually want them to die.
3. No nude scenes. Even the worst of 80s horror flicks have some sort of female exposure that makes thirteen year old boys sit through these awful ordeals. This would have been the only thing that made this movie enjoyable and they fucked up that too.
4. More unanswered questions. Why did that cop hate college kids (who all looked like they were in their mid 30s) so much? Also what the hell was in that ice cream truck that exploded? Jugs of napalm?
5. No sex scenes. There is some suggestion of sex at one point in the movie when the two main characters are hooking up (in an inflated raft in the trunk of a car). This is of course interrupted by a flying circus tent that just had to be investigated. The only other sexual innuendo in the movie is the two guys who drove the ice cream truck may have been violently raped by two clown chicks with inflatable boobs. It's never really revisited in the movie.
6. At the end of the movie, the day is saved when the super retard gorilla clown is shot in the nose and the whole space ship blows up. Really inefficient engineering on the clowns' part. Then everyone is happy and celebrating, despite the fact that everybody in the town except for three people are dead.
To conclude, the only thing (according to H.C.) that makes this movie better than Hobgoblins, is that there was no five minute long rake fight scene. This movie will make you hate clowns more than you already probably do.
