Missing from 'Apocalypse Now -The Complete Dossier' boxset,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Porklips Now (DVD)
Fatigued and PDSD'd from trying to get through 'Redux' in one go? Then what you need is 'Porklips Now'. A piece of sheer brilliance by Ernie Fosselius, who decided to make one of the best spoofs you'll ever likely to see. The lead character, Dullard, is played wonderfully deadpan by William "Billy" Gray who finds himself on a mission to Chinatown to take care of 'business' with rogue butcher Fred "Madman" Mertz (Fosselius). A great deal of the hilarity of this short movie comes from the way it parodies scenes from 'Apocalypse Now' perfectly by substituting suburban San Francisco on a near zero budget. Acting is painfully spot on at times - Fosselius as 'Mertz' or Tom Bullock's 'Shutterbug', making this film the perfect antidote to Coppola's original.
One word of advice, don't watch this before 'Redux' or you'll never keep a straight face.

One of the funniest satires I've ever seen!,

If you love satires, or are a fan of the movie "Apocalypse Now" and just need a 'lighter moment', this movie is for you. I saw it first many, many years ago, and we loved it then as we love it now - it's SO DAMN CLEVER! If you are too serious about your love of "Apocalypse Now", don't get this - it's a take-off, and it is silly, and it's a wonderful laugh. It's kinda pricey at 19.95, but I've been waiting all these years, hanging onto my old VHS version, so I'm glad it finally came out in DVD. I haven't watched the DVD yet as I just received it, but it can't be any worse than my VHS home recorded tape. Recommended for fans of satire and SNL skits.
