Street Trash" isn't just a film—it's a chaotic experience that leaves you questioning reality. Join us on the Dumb Cool Weird Podcast as we dissect this 1987 cult classic with our special guest, Lovely. From scenes that shock to an erratic plot that's all over the place, we tackle "Street Trash" head-on, questioning where it stands between offensive and absurd. You'll hear our raw reactions to its disturbing themes like rape and necrophilia, and our heated debate on whether the film's fragmented storyline and jarring death sequences serve as a twisted form of social commentary or just pure madness.
In the second half, we delve into the film's missed opportunities and moments of sheer ridiculousness. Imagine a junkyard filled with homeless people, a mysterious deadly alcohol from the Prohibition era, and a drunk night guard who couldn't care less. We explore these bizarre elements, laughing at the penis keep-away game and marveling at the creativity behind the tire fort with electricity. Lovely joins us in contemplating the potential of what "Street Trash" could have been with a more coherent narrative. This episode promises a rollercoaster of emotions, from disbelief to amusement, as we unpack the chaos that is "Street Trash.

dumb cool weird podcast.
Okay, welcome to the dumb cool,weird podcast.
This is wes, this is nick andwe have a guest today.
Hello, tell the people yourname oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's my first time hi , I'm lovely nice and I'm
nipples the enchilada.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, and today we watched street trash, street
trash, 1987.
So what can we say about thismovie?
Jesus, if you like to getoffended, so that's literally
why it was created, apparently,according to wikipedia yeah,
honestly, this was like a snufffilm and what did you guys call
it?
Torture, porn and fetish stuffand a melt movie and a melt
(00:43):
movie yes, that's a degradation,torture porn stuff film yep, it
was definitely the.
We couldn't decide what wasworse king kung fu or this.
This is still remotelyentertaining at times, but then
highly traumatizing.
King kung fu just makes me wantto put a handgun to my head.
Sounds about right.
Basically, this is a movie thatI discovered because I saw a
(01:08):
video on Instagram and it wasliterally a guy melting into a
toilet and I was like what thefuck is this?
Yeah, and the caption on it isme, when I have dairy at my age.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And it's.
Yeah, that is true, I do shit alot when I drink some milk.
Then you melt into the toilet.
Yeah, I don't, my genes aresuperior to yours.
Thanks, adolf.
What else would you like totalk about?
Do you want me to go take ashower next?
You would have fit right in onthat movie.
Yeah, there literally was ascene where this homeless guy
was so sad that he had to take ashower.
Hadn't taken a shower in threemonths.
(01:39):
I have a theory on this.
All right, it's all animals inthe wild.
If they don't smell like theother animals, they can get
attacked by their pack.
So he was afraid that his packwould eventually attack him
again.
So you saw he was trying todrink up and trash himself up.
They even gave him new clothes.
Yeah, they cleaned him up andput him back on the street.
Basically, I can some.
(02:00):
I can summarize this entiremovie.
It's just follows a bunch ofhomeless people on the streets
of New York and they'rebasically just trying to rob
people, they're trying to getmoney, they're trying to find
booze, raping people Yep,basically, yes, a lot of rape, a
lot of necrophilia, a lot ofnecrophilia.
There was about to be somepedophilia in the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, that didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
cutting genitals off, I got genital a lot of racial
slurs slung around I like tocall it terminal kinks nice, yes
, like cancer.
Basically this whole movie isthey said it, bet, like these
two said it best.
It's basically no plot.
Basically what's going on inthis movie is homeless guys do
things, the, and then we cops,cops stick their nose in it.
(02:43):
And then all of a sudden we goback to the main plot of the
movie, which is about thispoisonous alcohol from the 1920s
, from prohibition era.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, with a really scummy porn looking liquor store
attendant yes, yeah, but thewhat's weird about it is that
seems to be like the whole pointof the movie but, you only see
it in the very beginning andthen you get five times.
And yeah, it's like thedistance between it's like the
entire middle of the movie hasnone of that alcohol in it, so
(03:14):
it's not really even driving theplot.
It's really strange.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
There's 40 minutes without that alcohol.
Yeah, and I was expecting thereto be some kind of payoff with
the alcohol.
Oh, maybe Al Capone came to NewYork and made this alcohol.
It was a bad batch.
They got mixed in with somefucking retrovirus or something
that makes you turn liquid shit,basically Like a goo monster
that haunts the streets.
Yeah, but no, we got noexplanation on that.
Literally in the beginning ofthe movie, this Jewish guy runs
(03:40):
a liquor store, goes into hisbasement and cracks open
accidentally, cracks open thewall, and he goes oh, what is
this?
And he opens it up and he's oh,this is 60 years old.
And me and Nick did the math.
We're like, oh, 1987, 1927.
Prohibition, Prohibition.
And so it must have been just abad batch of alcohol.
But personally, I've never seenbad alcohol do that to somebody
.
We're not sure yet, though.
(04:01):
I we're not sure yet, though Idon't think we should drink
something that's 60 years oldand been living in a wall.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I thought it was really strange how everybody who
drank it died slightlydifferently.
Ultimately, one guy exploded.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Maybe that was a commentary on his weight,
because he was like a largercharacter.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Could have been.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, his death had me cracking.
I was having a, I was wheezing,I was laughing so hard at that,
but then and that's the thing,though, is most people just
melted he exploded.
Yeah, and then Sorry, no, I wasgoing to say the.
To say is like the liquor storeguy did a melt and explode kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, then that, that one chick who was like the, I
guess the girlfriend, no, shewas.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
She was the junkyard homeless like poor is basically
what I think she was billed as.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, Seriously, she just walked around in a bra.
Well, how she died was likezoomed in on her breasts melting
and she was like putting herhands up under the skin of her
breasts as they like melted intogoo, and maybe that was a
commentary on her whorishness, Idon't know.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Cause when they had the, remember she had the
nipples that lactated the.
The goo too.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Every time we describe it, it just gets worse.
Yeah, and, by the way, a lot ofthese homeless people are world
war or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Vietnam vets.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
World war nom.
Actually, some of them probablywere Korean vets, though.
Yeah, no, but yeah, most ofthem were Nam vets, and it's the
fucking bone knife, the femurbone knife.
Yeah, and, by the way, we getflashbacks to nam and we could
figure out why this guy's such apiece of shit, because he's
just making femur knives frombones of his enemies he was a
piece of shit in all of hisflashbacks.
(05:43):
It's not even we didn't evenwatch the fall of a character,
he was just always a piece ofshit yeah, he never had any arc
of being a good person and evenin the police station, like,
yeah, he was a piece of shit.
He like was dealing drugs andnumb and he was talking about
making the locals parade aroundnaked.
This guy had no redeemingqualities.
No, it's just the junkyardmaster he was.
(06:04):
He couldn't even be the dirtmaster.
He couldn't even be the dirtmaster.
And see, one of the things thatreally bugged me about this
movie is we had to turn on thesubtitles because we could not
understand a word.
Half these people were sayingliterally the beginning of the
movie.
He introduced the nom.
The Vietnam guy who was theleader of the junk people is
like Bronson, the king of thehomeless.
(06:25):
And basically the first thing hesays to him.
It literally came out as andthe translation says I'm going
to tear his liver out of hisasshole.
And then me and Nick looked ateach other and go that is not
what he said.
In fact, 90 of the dialoguewouldn't have been heard.
You didn't have the subtitles,because most of it was her, yeah
(06:46):
, which actually makes sensebecause I've been downtown and
I've I've been around somehomeless people and they do talk
like that yeah, we also watchthe homeless people pee on each
other.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, that was fun.
Yeah, so there was that onescene where the police officer
who Actually did he even have apoint as a character.
He was hunting Bronson down,but then Did his existence move
the plot at all?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
A bit, it did a bit, but it was just just.
There was a lot like there wasa hitman thing, and then he
puked on the hitman and then it,he was just like you know what.
I guess I'm just gonna finallygo after bronson.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm no longer gonna wait for evidence yeah, I think
he existed for the sole reasonto puke on that one guy and also
, but I also think that he alsoexisted because he was just
trying.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I think he was the cop stereotype, right?
Yeah, the rogue cop yeah, therogue cop.
There's a lot of stereotypes inthis movie and I think they
were trying to go for that blackcomedy feel, but honestly,
because of how ridiculous it was, I don't think it really.
One thing that happened in thismovie that really actually
(07:56):
fucking was disturbing to me wasthey raped this girl in the
junkyard and then they dumpedher body on the side of the
riverbank.
And then the big fat guy, whichthe fat guy has been in a lot
of movies he was in a lot ofsimilar movies like this.
He's been in a lot of the traumamovies.
He was the mayor in ToxicAvenger, but in this he's a
fucking slime ball and, yeah, hebasically has sex with a corpse
(08:19):
and then he gets syphilis and,to be fair, that's not
disturbing you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We were all disturbed .
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He got his comeuppance.
Yeah, the third guy Wait, canyou tell who Seaman it is?
Officer, yeah, we could, butit's not going to matter.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The third guy had had syphilis, though, and everyone,
and he just starts scratchinghis dick like oh, okay yeah, um,
let's not forget the reason whyhe fucked a dead body is
because the chick who worked forhim refused to have sex with
him.
So he went outside and was like, oh, how convenient after
trying to also sexually assaulther.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So, yes, yeah, yeah, there was a lot.
There was a lot of sexualassault in this uh film.
Yeah, and was like, oh howconvenient, after trying to also
sexually assault her yes.
Yeah, there was a lot of sexualassault in this film.
Yeah, there was a lot of that.
Overall, it's just it's 80scheese.
I would say it's the mostover-the-top 80s cheese I've
ever seen.
It's like if this was 80scheese, had 80s cheese and then
had a baby, that's what thiswould be.
It'd be super 80s cheese.
(09:16):
And then had a baby, that'swhat this would be.
It'd be super 80s cheese.
And then that baby grew up andheld a gun to its parents head.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
That's 80s cheese to the max solet's talk about the dumb.
Cool and weird, so what?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I feel, like.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
We've gone through this, we need to lay it out.
So what was the dumbest thingabout this movie?
The homeless people that weredoing all the murdering, the
raping and the robbing, justexisting in this junkyard that
everybody knew about.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I feel like there's a lot of missed opportunities.
I would say that's the dumbestpart.
You notice the two brothers.
Even though they were fighting.
They were one of the two thatmade it to the end alive.
They could have done somethingwith that.
They could have made acommentary about how brothers
stick together, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, we're too busy focusing on necrophilia and shit
.
We're not going to have a plot.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, and this is where I need to chime in and say
I think the dumbest thing aboutthis movie is the fact that we
never got any backstory for thisfucking alcohol Pisses me off.
Yeah, that actually is a goodone yeah makes me mad, because
it was a missed opportunity tohave introduced some Prohibition
era background and they justdidn't do it.
I didn't know that.
Why did it only come upconveniently to kill people in
(10:25):
the movie?
But there was nothing more toit.
Like they just never built onthat, like it just shows up,
like you said, without abackstory, and then it just
exists within the realm of thefilm.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
To be fair, everything in this movie just
exists.
There's really no point to anyof it.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
This is true, yep.
And the thing is moving on tothe cool.
I think the coolest thing aboutthis movie is obviously some of
the special effects, especiallywhen they're melting.
That shit was pretty fuckingcool.
That was solid.
I could definitely tell theyput a lot of work and effort
into doing the visual effectsfor this movie, a lot of
practicals.
So if anybody from thepractical effects team, if
you're still alive, if you'restill kicking and you're
(11:02):
listening to this, good job.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I liked their tire fort.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, I'd hang out in there, if not that one
specifically.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I just love how they had electricity ran to that tire
fort too.
You see that was the thing theyhad electricity and candles
yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
They have to light the set somehow, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, but it's just funny because in the background
you didn't.
I don't know if you guys sawthis, but they had practicals
where they had a practical lightset up in the back.
Literally it looked like ahouse lamp that sits outside of
the house.
Where did that come from?
Were they tapping into the fatguy's power source or something?
That's why he's probably sopissed.
His power bill is so high.
He's trying to run a businessand he's just got bums living
(11:44):
within the realm of his businesskilling also killing and raping
his employees.
It is and let's, let's.
Let's get to the weird.
You know what's really weirdabout this movie?
The fact that this guy ownsthis business and the junkyard.
We've seen the junkyard.
It's big, but it's not that big.
How the fuck does he not noticeeight or nine people living in
this fucking junkyard?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
No, I think he noticed.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He just notice eight or nine people living in this
fucking junkyard?
No, I think he noticed he.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Just why didn't he get rid of him?
Yeah, but there was a that gotthat rambo turbo cop got stabbed
in the back.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, but I'm saying like but he didn't know about
that guy.
So he's walking around thejunkyard with his dog and he
sees the fat guy, yeah, and hegoes.
Who the fuck are you?
No like like like he, like hehad never seen that guy before.
So that's what I saying.
It's almost like he didn't knowthose guys were even in there.
How do you not know?
Like he was only aware of thebrother and his like the two
brothers, and that was it, andmaybe the black guy.
(12:35):
And then he was like I don't,it's not like I.
He never figured out that hehad a psychotic ape of a man
controlling the homeless,stabbing and raping people yeah,
I think, I yeah, that dogreally wasn't doing its job.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You really think about it?
That dog was the real bum.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
We also found out that the night guard was just
always strung out drunk.
That's true, he was passed outdrunk on some burnets.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Maybe the homeless people like paid him with the
burnets I doubt it I don know Idon't think the homeless people
would pay anybody in booze.
That's booze they could havefor themselves.
The homeless people in thismovie.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Think about it.
But there's a reason why theywould pay off the guard, though,
because he's the gatekeeper forletting people in and out of
there.
But, like I said, the guy, thefat guy, he was acting like he
was unaware that anything wasgoing on, because he literally
was like who's that guy in thebathroom?
And then, actually, you knowwhat?
We didn't even see him at theend of the movie.
(13:32):
Did you notice that?
He just drove off?
He probably had to go deal withhis syphilis.
Yeah, his wife and his kids too.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, he had a lot of problems man.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He doesn't talk his kids.
He has a gay dog.
Yeah, he's also the mayor oftromaville.
It's a.
It's a hard life for him,probably why he lost all of his
hair and got fat.
Is there any final thoughtsabout this movie?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
oh, I thought the penis keep away was a really
weird scene as, speaking ofweird that's, that was really
weird, that was a really weirdand I the weird office dick and
then they play a game of people.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The weirdest part about that whole situation is
the actor was just nonchalantlyacting about it.
Most of that whole sequence heliterally was just like no,
you're literally bleeding todeath.
Act like you're bleeding todeath, dude.
Yeah, he would have died, no.
But I also thought it was funnywhen the junkyard whore caught
the penis and she almost got herteeth knocked in by the gorilla
(14:27):
bronson.
You better throw that dicksomewhere else.
Yeah, it's just.
Yeah, that was weird, like wetalked about during the movie.
It's also weird that this copwas murdered here and then the
other cops didn't show up.
But that but you know what thatprobably wasn't a part of the
budget so probably probably nota part of the budget, so they
probably couldn't have that.
But we were also supposed to geta dance, like a nice dance in
(14:49):
the junkyard.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
According to Wikipedia, there is a deleted
dance sequence and I feel likethat belongs in this movie.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It wouldn't, be out of place.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No, I want the dance sequence.
They should have left it.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We had unnecessary Vietnam flashbacks to tell us
nothing, so we could have usedthe dance sequence.
Yeah, that was street trash.
We're going to me and Nicktalked about it.
We want to try to see some moremovies with the fat guy in it,
because he's apparently been inlike six or seven of them.
He died suddenly Of a heartattack.
Apparently Shocker, I knowright I would have ever thunk it
(15:24):
.
I know right, I would have everthunk it.
Obesity kills you.
Yeah, I know right.

Cause when they had the, remember she had the
nipples that lactated the.
The goo too.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Every time we describe it, it just gets worse.
Yeah, and, by the way, a lot ofthese homeless people are world
war or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Vietnam vets.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
World war nom.
Actually, some of them probablywere Korean vets, though.
Yeah, no, but yeah, most ofthem were Nam vets, and it's the
fucking bone knife, the femurbone knife.
Yeah, and, by the way, we getflashbacks to nam and we could
figure out why this guy's such apiece of shit, because he's
just making femur knives frombones of his enemies he was a
piece of shit in all of hisflashbacks.
(05:43):
It's not even we didn't evenwatch the fall of a character,
he was just always a piece ofshit yeah, he never had any arc
of being a good person and evenin the police station, like,
yeah, he was a piece of shit.
He like was dealing drugs andnumb and he was talking about
making the locals parade aroundnaked.
This guy had no redeemingqualities.
No, it's just the junkyardmaster he was.
(06:04):
He couldn't even be the dirtmaster.
He couldn't even be the dirtmaster.
And see, one of the things thatreally bugged me about this
movie is we had to turn on thesubtitles because we could not
understand a word.
Half these people were sayingliterally the beginning of the
movie.
He introduced the nom.
The Vietnam guy who was theleader of the junk people is
like Bronson, the king of thehomeless.
(06:25):
And basically the first thing hesays to him.
It literally came out as andthe translation says I'm going
to tear his liver out of hisasshole.
And then me and Nick looked ateach other and go that is not
what he said.
In fact, 90 of the dialoguewouldn't have been heard.
You didn't have the subtitles,because most of it was her, yeah
(06:46):
, which actually makes sensebecause I've been downtown and
I've I've been around somehomeless people and they do talk
like that yeah, we also watchthe homeless people pee on each
other.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, that was fun.
Yeah, so there was that onescene where the police officer
who Actually did he even have apoint as a character.
He was hunting Bronson down,but then Did his existence move
the plot at all?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
A bit, it did a bit, but it was just just.
There was a lot like there wasa hitman thing, and then he
puked on the hitman and then it,he was just like you know what.
I guess I'm just gonna finallygo after bronson.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm no longer gonna wait for evidence yeah, I think
he existed for the sole reasonto puke on that one guy and also
, but I also think that he alsoexisted because he was just
trying.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I think he was the cop stereotype, right?
Yeah, the rogue cop yeah, therogue cop.
There's a lot of stereotypes inthis movie and I think they
were trying to go for that blackcomedy feel, but honestly,
because of how ridiculous it was, I don't think it really.
One thing that happened in thismovie that really actually
(07:56):
fucking was disturbing to me wasthey raped this girl in the
junkyard and then they dumpedher body on the side of the
riverbank.
And then the big fat guy, whichthe fat guy has been in a lot
of movies he was in a lot ofsimilar movies like this.
He's been in a lot of the traumamovies.
He was the mayor in ToxicAvenger, but in this he's a
fucking slime ball and, yeah, hebasically has sex with a corpse
(08:19):
and then he gets syphilis and,to be fair, that's not
disturbing you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We were all disturbed .
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He got his comeuppance.
Yeah, the third guy Wait, canyou tell who Seaman it is?
Officer, yeah, we could, butit's not going to matter.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The third guy had had syphilis, though, and everyone,
and he just starts scratchinghis dick like oh, okay yeah, um,
let's not forget the reason whyhe fucked a dead body is
because the chick who worked forhim refused to have sex with
him.
So he went outside and was like, oh, how convenient after
trying to also sexually assaulther.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So, yes, yeah, yeah, there was a lot.
There was a lot of sexualassault in this uh film.
Yeah, and was like, oh howconvenient, after trying to also
sexually assault her yes.
Yeah, there was a lot of sexualassault in this film.
Yeah, there was a lot of that.
Overall, it's just it's 80scheese.
I would say it's the mostover-the-top 80s cheese I've
ever seen.
It's like if this was 80scheese, had 80s cheese and then
had a baby, that's what thiswould be.
It'd be super 80s cheese.
(09:16):
And then had a baby, that'swhat this would be.
It'd be super 80s cheese.
And then that baby grew up andheld a gun to its parents head.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
That's 80s cheese to the max solet's talk about the dumb.
Cool and weird, so what?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I feel, like.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
We've gone through this, we need to lay it out.
So what was the dumbest thingabout this movie?
The homeless people that weredoing all the murdering, the
raping and the robbing, justexisting in this junkyard that
everybody knew about.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I feel like there's a lot of missed opportunities.
I would say that's the dumbestpart.
You notice the two brothers.
Even though they were fighting.
They were one of the two thatmade it to the end alive.
They could have done somethingwith that.
They could have made acommentary about how brothers
stick together, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, we're too busy focusing on necrophilia and shit
.
We're not going to have a plot.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, and this is where I need to chime in and say
I think the dumbest thing aboutthis movie is the fact that we
never got any backstory for thisfucking alcohol Pisses me off.
Yeah, that actually is a goodone yeah makes me mad, because
it was a missed opportunity tohave introduced some Prohibition
era background and they justdidn't do it.
I didn't know that.
Why did it only come upconveniently to kill people in
(10:25):
the movie?
But there was nothing more toit.
Like they just never built onthat, like it just shows up,
like you said, without abackstory, and then it just
exists within the realm of thefilm.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
To be fair, everything in this movie just
exists.
There's really no point to anyof it.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
This is true, yep.
And the thing is moving on tothe cool.
I think the coolest thing aboutthis movie is obviously some of
the special effects, especiallywhen they're melting.
That shit was pretty fuckingcool.
That was solid.
I could definitely tell theyput a lot of work and effort
into doing the visual effectsfor this movie, a lot of
practicals.
So if anybody from thepractical effects team, if
you're still alive, if you'restill kicking and you're
(11:02):
listening to this, good job.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I liked their tire fort.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, I'd hang out in there, if not that one
specifically.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I just love how they had electricity ran to that tire
fort too.
You see that was the thing theyhad electricity and candles
yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
They have to light the set somehow, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, but it's just funny because in the background
you didn't.
I don't know if you guys sawthis, but they had practicals
where they had a practical lightset up in the back.
Literally it looked like ahouse lamp that sits outside of
the house.
Where did that come from?
Were they tapping into the fatguy's power source or something?
That's why he's probably sopissed.
His power bill is so high.
He's trying to run a businessand he's just got bums living
(11:44):
within the realm of his businesskilling also killing and raping
his employees.
It is and let's, let's.
Let's get to the weird.
You know what's really weirdabout this movie?
The fact that this guy ownsthis business and the junkyard.
We've seen the junkyard.
It's big, but it's not that big.
How the fuck does he not noticeeight or nine people living in
this fucking junkyard?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
No, I think he noticed.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He just notice eight or nine people living in this
fucking junkyard?
No, I think he noticed he.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Just why didn't he get rid of him?
Yeah, but there was a that gotthat rambo turbo cop got stabbed
in the back.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, but I'm saying like but he didn't know about
that guy.
So he's walking around thejunkyard with his dog and he
sees the fat guy, yeah, and hegoes.
Who the fuck are you?
No like like like he, like hehad never seen that guy before.
So that's what I saying.
It's almost like he didn't knowthose guys were even in there.
How do you not know?
Like he was only aware of thebrother and his like the two
brothers, and that was it, andmaybe the black guy.
(12:35):
And then he was like I don't,it's not like I.
He never figured out that hehad a psychotic ape of a man
controlling the homeless,stabbing and raping people yeah,
I think, I yeah, that dogreally wasn't doing its job.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You really think about it?
That dog was the real bum.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
We also found out that the night guard was just
always strung out drunk.
That's true, he was passed outdrunk on some burnets.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Maybe the homeless people like paid him with the
burnets I doubt it I don know Idon't think the homeless people
would pay anybody in booze.
That's booze they could havefor themselves.
The homeless people in thismovie.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Think about it.
But there's a reason why theywould pay off the guard, though,
because he's the gatekeeper forletting people in and out of
there.
But, like I said, the guy, thefat guy, he was acting like he
was unaware that anything wasgoing on, because he literally
was like who's that guy in thebathroom?
And then, actually, you knowwhat?
We didn't even see him at theend of the movie.
(13:32):
Did you notice that?
He just drove off?
He probably had to go deal withhis syphilis.
Yeah, his wife and his kids too.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, he had a lot of problems man.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He doesn't talk his kids.
He has a gay dog.
Yeah, he's also the mayor oftromaville.
It's a.
It's a hard life for him,probably why he lost all of his
hair and got fat.
Is there any final thoughtsabout this movie?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
oh, I thought the penis keep away was a really
weird scene as, speaking ofweird that's, that was really
weird, that was a really weirdand I the weird office dick and
then they play a game of people.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The weirdest part about that whole situation is
the actor was just nonchalantlyacting about it.
Most of that whole sequence heliterally was just like no,
you're literally bleeding todeath.
Act like you're bleeding todeath, dude.
Yeah, he would have died, no.
But I also thought it was funnywhen the junkyard whore caught
the penis and she almost got herteeth knocked in by the gorilla
(14:27):
bronson.
You better throw that dicksomewhere else.
Yeah, it's just.
Yeah, that was weird, like wetalked about during the movie.
It's also weird that this copwas murdered here and then the
other cops didn't show up.
But that but you know what thatprobably wasn't a part of the
budget so probably probably nota part of the budget, so they
probably couldn't have that.
But we were also supposed to geta dance, like a nice dance in
(14:49):
the junkyard.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
According to Wikipedia, there is a deleted
dance sequence and I feel likethat belongs in this movie.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It wouldn't, be out of place.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No, I want the dance sequence.
They should have left it.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We had unnecessary Vietnam flashbacks to tell us
nothing, so we could have usedthe dance sequence.
Yeah, that was street trash.
We're going to me and Nicktalked about it.
We want to try to see some moremovies with the fat guy in it,
because he's apparently been inlike six or seven of them.
He died suddenly Of a heartattack.
Apparently Shocker, I knowright I would have ever thunk it
(15:24):
.
I know right, I would have everthunk it.
Obesity kills you.
Yeah, I know right.
