What was with the talking dummy?...


..in the competitor's bar??!?! the one that Gets his hands cut off...was the guy a ventriloquist?!?! Stupid stuff like that brought the enjoyment factor way down for me, and I LOVE me a good horror/comedy.

Though it was hilarious when while he was driving the blood from his stumps was getting all over the windshield

I was wondering the same dang on thang...about that dummy! Really weird...and they were responding to it like it was really a person.

It was his only customer.

Yes, he was a ventriloquist and that was his only customer. And conversely, stupid stuff like that brought the enjoyment factor way up for me. So the universe is balanced.

I'm upset we never got the boys facing off with the cannibal biker gang. That would have rounded the movie up to just about perfect for me.

I always called that character "silly putty man" and told people that the crew ran out of money, so they had to build another character out of putty. Thats how cheap the movie is.

The funniest thing about the dummy is that it looks like Torgo. MST3k fans will understand; for anyone else, Torgo cannot be explained.
