It must be depressing to have someone come along and make a superior version of your movie. Zodiac (2007) and Airplane! improved upon these movies just like any episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is better than watching the movie itself.
Which is a double whammy for Tom Hanson, director of The Zodiac Killer and one of the stars of The Hellcats:
He played Mongoose. Come to think of it The Zodiac Killer came out the same year as Dirty Harry, a movie about a serial killer in San Francisco named the "Scorpio Killer". Poor The Zodiac Killer. At least Bleeding Skull liked it:
Last week, I watched The Zodiac Killer. Twice. It still wasn't enough. This is a tier of tabloid-horror that, once discovered, takes an instantaneous position as "one of the good ones".
This is also the second movie in a row we're watching that was put out by Something Weird Video. Previous movies from them include Basket Case, Blood Freak and Godmonster of Indian Flats. They're always great about putting plenty of extras on their discs so maybe we'll see something similar to this thing we watched last week:
Zero Hour! has an exclamation point. I love movies with exclamation points. I'll add this one to my list:
Airplane!
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Top Secret!
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
¡Three Amigos!
Mars Attacks!
That Thing You Do!
Baadasssss!
Saved!
Anvil! The Story of Anvil
The Informant!
SLC Punk!
Viva Knievel!
Zero Hour!
Machete Maidens Unleashed!, you're next!
Here's what happened last week:
Okay, a real one:
What do you know, he does eat hot dogs and doesn't want to share. If you saw him popping out of 3-D you might know he's on 3-D.
