How I missed this in my reader on Wednesday is anyone’s guess. It probably has something to do with the fact that Todd’s post has an incredibly long title and I’m too lazy and have far too much to get through, so I just skipped over it. But how would you like to see David Carradine again in what is surely his last on-screen hoorah? Me too.
Add to Carradine some Rodriguez/Tarantino regulars, Darryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, Tom Savini, Lapidus, Ivan Drago’s wife and about three “holy shit” casting decisions: Sylvester McCoy (the seventh doctor for you kids), Peter O’Toole (yes, Peter fucking O’Toole) and the icing on this proverbial cake? Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Guttenberg. Drop all this amazingness into a movie musical about wild west hillbillies, Nazi strippers, zombies, the “Jews” brothers and whole slew of carnage violence, comedy and mayhem and I’m actually surprised that this film actually exists. But apparently it does!
This is a live action 3D comedy/horror/musical/road movie and is the first ever British movie to be shot in 3D.
After wrongly being sent to a Neo Nazi fund raiser instead of the stripper, Blues Brothers tribute band ‘The Jews Brothers’, Stan and Ollie get offered a gig in El Dorado to make amends for a gig gone sour.
At the very same time Jessica a beautiful but despondent wife is on the run with a million dollars from her cheating husband’s night club.
All roads lead to Eldorado, these lives intersect and at this point it means trouble. While these small lives revolve around each other a bigger power is controlling the action to make their visit to this town one they will never forget.
It’s Eldorado’s 200th anniversary, the townsfolk are hungry to celebrate, which does prove unfortunate to the tourists who come to visit and find that they are the dish of the day.
A parody of films including THE BLUES BROTHERS, SWEENEY TODD and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, ELDORADO is more than just bad table manners and a little light music, it becomes a way of life.
I think I’m willing to break my no 3D rule for this one. Check out the trailer under the seats and thank again to Twitch for the linkage.
I like how the title has been shortened to just one word, rather than El Dorado. heh.
Awful looking, jawdroppingly awful looking. Star Wars Holiday Special Awful looking. It doesn’t even look fun. The 3D is just salt in the wounds, I’m betting that the 3D look will be as bad as the film. I doubt more than 200 people will bother to see this film.
Peter O’Toole + Steve Guttenberg = sold. Certainly low budget Troma-esque stuff, but still fun I think.
I think I might need to be on a substance to enjoy this one. Seems like this one might dance along the edge of fun bad and just bad bad.
Wow that makes some of the stuff I watch in my VHS marathons look classy. Could be an enjoyable ‘six pack and buddies’ movie hopefully, but it looks like it’s trying too hard.
How the hell did they get that cast together on what looks to be zero money and zero talent though? I know none of them are particularly big draws anymore, but come on!?
Also, Daryl Hannah looks tired in that shot of the trailer. *just sayin’*
Not that I expected it to be as bad as above, but did anyone see that Russel Mulcahey gangster picture, “GIVE ‘EM HELL, MALONE” that came out that also had an interesting cast of B- and C-Listers (Thomas Jane, Ving Rhames, Leland Orser, French Stewart)
I watched part of it on Netflix Instant while I was getting ready for work and it was pretty solid. I want to sit and watch the whole thing at some point.
But I am also one of the few Mulcahy fanboys in existence.
You’re losing my trust there Andrew…Yikes, this looked awful. “South Of Heaven” awful. Worse actually. Except for Michael Madsen’s reading of “Sure do like that shirt” – that was mildly amusing.
“I like how the title has been shortened to just one word, rather than El Dorado. heh.”
Based on that horrible trailer, I’m guessing they just spelled it wrong.
Looks a hell of a lot better than the trailer for The Fighter. Inside joke for Kurt.
