THE CAINE MUTINY LOSE YOUR MARBLES SERIES
Apparently he is also familiar with the victims in the current series occurring in Pittsburgh. And we learn that Joe knew each one of the victims there. Part of the background is that Joe was a former detective in Las Vegas where a similar series of bizarre murders occurred. The murders have a bizarre twist as each one involves removing certain body parts (brains, intestines, etc.) Sweeney and the rest of the the police ridicule Joe because he has a weak stomach and has to step aside and puke every time he sees one of the victims (part of the aforementioned humor). You'll thank me later.)ĭetectives Sweeney Birdwell (Jake Dengel) and Joe Blocker (Joe Sharkey) are called to the scene of a bizarre murder. (Note: I'll spare you any graphic pictures from the film. The only name that is likely to trigger a memory is Tom Savini, a makeup artist who has his name in the credits of such movies as Creepshow.īloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh (1991): With the exception of Veronica Hart (credited as Jane Esther Hamilton here), who was a fairly prolific porn star, most of them only had a handful of credits outside this movie. Most of the actors you probably will have never heard of. But you can watch it on YouTube if this review piques your interest. I originally rented it on VHS from Hastings when they acquired a copy.
THE CAINE MUTINY LOSE YOUR MARBLES MOVIE
I know I never saw an ad for it and I avidly read the counterculture magazine "The Austin Chronicle" which usually had ads for any movie that is currently showing (even if they don't review it). I think this movie was "straight to video". At least it was funny to me.)Ī short background. (Just for example: During one scene where the cops are investigating a murder the background music becomes very intense and loud, until one of the cops yells "Turn that stuff down!" at which point one of the cops turns off the radio in his cruiser. It has the added effect that humor is used throughout, although you may be so disgusted by the gore you may miss some of the funnier parts. While not nearly as sick as, say, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Saw, or The Evil Dead, it is pretty bloody. Well, apparently, Tschetter's version had way more blood and gore. After finishing watching the Smithee version, you may wonder just why it was deemed so far from the original. It is used when the finished product is so far gone from the original, due to outside influences, that the director feels he has the right to remove his name from the credits. It was directed by Dean Tschetter who, after the snippers got through with the original cut, decided to use the Alan Smithee clause to credit the movie.Īlan Smithee, for those of you who don't know, is a legal loophole for directors. It requires a pretty jaded sense of movie style. (and if you know me, you know how much I dislike that phrase). This movie is one that requires more than just an "acquired taste". It doesn't even take place in Pittsburgh. There are no pharaohs in Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh.

There are no bloodsuckers in Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh. Of course, this movie was made long after most drive-ins had been paved over to make way for condominiums, but it still has the essence of the themes intact. That of highlighting the obscure, quirky or sometimes even downright insane movies that were the meat and potatoes of the drive-in movie theater in it's heyday. I thought it was high time to get back to the original intent of this blog, though. Hell, even if you do know me, you may be asking that. If you don't know me by now, that's what you're probably asking yourself.
