Any more Basket Case fans out there?

Hey man! right here. Big fan. And vsmith, you're right, that scene is great, That is such a great shot, as said on the commentary. But my favorite part has got to be when we first get the first good look at Belial's face. When he is stuck to the wall. Ohhh, that was great. Not too fond of the sequels though, Basket Case 2 does have a few good scenes. the beggining of BC2 was great, when Duane and Belial were making a "daring" escape. Lol. Didn't know it could be THAT easy. The film would have been great if it just had Belial and Duane on their own, and none of those VERY unrealistic freak people. I've actually never seen number 3, not even henenlotter likes Basket Case 3. Judging from the crap i saw on the trailer, ohhhh no....no way, not even going to bother.

Turns evil? He seems evil the whole movie if you ask me.

Looks pretty Terrible. They pushed the whole "freak" thing way too far. I saw in the trailer, the kid with 11 arms. Ohhhh my god...so stupid.

Some people moan about how bad this film is. It isn't. It's different and nothing like it has ever been produced after it(I'm not counting the sequels).



21st century Hollywood stinks!!!!!!!!

Great movie! I like the sequels as well.

Yea, the opening scene where the scared old fart goes "Who's there? Oh no, GOD no!" - is too funny for words. I love 'Casey', the hot prostitute who tries to befriend Duane (or is it Dwayne?). Of course, Belyle winds up stealing her panties & trying to grope her in her bed!!
Then Duane hooks up with that easy chick he meets at the Dr's office & takes her home (when Belyle gets jealous) and has her in bed....he then throws her out of his room and she screams out "Duaaaaayynne!" - I F'ing love that part too.
And lastly, when that old bastard tries to steal his wad of cash (that he LEAVES LYING AROUND THE ROOM!) & almost gets away with it....but he HAS to look inside that damn Basket! Last mistake he ever makes - Belyle jumps on his head & claws his face apart!!! CLASSIC!!!!!

BASKET CASE - It's Alive in a Basket!


"The Film in which you are about to see is an
account of a tragedy that befell a group of 5 youths."

I live in the uk and recently went on a tour of New york film spots and one of them happened to be Where basket case was filmed.Now the actual Hotel Broslin isn't in time square the main lobby parts was filmed in Franklin street in an open service elevator door that was proped open and dressed up to look like a hotel lobby.The actual building now has been modernised and the lift now doesn't face the door exit it has been turned sideways and the staircase has been knocked down......but is still recognisable,i did speak to the buildings owner whilst i was there and he said he bought it back in 97...so i am guessing that the documentery on the "something weird dvd" was filmed about this time......but the door number is still the same.The other location i went to is the exterior shots of the sign where duane & belial was hanging from at the end of the movie.....this was actually shot on hubert st two or 3 streets up from franklin st but the building next door was having scaffolding put up and maybe soon un-recognisable.(sidenote when in the area also check out hook and ladder company 8 fire station just round the corner from franklin street---this is home of the ghostbusters which hasn't changed....please the people are really cool there)
I took loads of pictures of all the locations just simply for film/historical knowledge as New York changes every time i visit there.......

I'm a fan. I saw it late last night and wondered how it would hold up since the first time I saw it, many years ago. I thought it was terrific, in that cheapo-shlock kind of way. I had no idea there were any sequels.

Every video version I've seen includes the rape scene...rent the DVD for a couple bucks, or buy it used for a couple dollars more at half.com ...if you have DVD decryptor you can rip the rape scene and watch it over and over ... but to tell the truth it isn't very sexy watching Belial inject his disease into poor Terri Susan...who is actually very nice looking when she's not wearing that crazy wig she's got on in the movie...
