3.0 out of 5 stars SORE LOSERS....Not for long!, March 27, 2002

This review is from: The Sore Losers (DVD)

Like the other reviewers I too had problems with my copy of SORE LOSERS. As I had only seen the film via a poor grade video dub I was greatly disappointed that the DVD (which is soon to be rare) was defective.

A gawdy looking DVD set caught my eye recently. The colorful packaging boasted that it was a 2-DVD set with four films. Shockingly, one of those films is SORE LOSERS. The DVD package is called HOTTER THAN HELL ... The set includes such cinematic trash as Witchcraft X and XI and a shot on video werewolf picture called The Strangers. How SORE LOSERS wound up with these films is anyone's guess.
I picked up the fine priced set and I am pleased to report that not only is SORE LOSERS now defect free but that the picture quality is a bit stronger. For such a price I thought that the film would start as soon as I popped the disc in but to my surprise the DVD sports an attractive menu and chapter marks.
As for the other films, they are not my cup of tea. While I enjoy a good trashy flick with naked women as much as the next guy I like the films to be at least interesting and fairly well done, not one of the other three even comes close.

SORE LOSERS is one of the few seriously low budget films that I have seen over the last 10 years that I have really enjoyed. It's a side of trash culture outside of John Waters. The energetic film is full of old school Kozikish pop culture and fetish queens. The (often nude) women are are not your standard Hollywood fare (thank you), they're more akin to Richard Kern and Eric Kroll fetish models (I'm pretty sure at least one of them is).
I prefer to not say more about the film as I believe it is one best seen without knowing quite what to expect. Just know that if you love beautiful fetish models, old comic books, a bizarre story, and dark humor that you'll probably dig SORE LOSERS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of Hunter Thompson, December 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sore Losers (DVD)

With a tag line of "Hot rod juvenile delinquents and amazona from outer space have come to Memphis to kill hippies", I just couldn't say no. Lots of 60's/70's nudity, rock-n-roll, & violence with sequences and transitions that make the whole thing seem like an acid trip. Best advice I can give is to have 3 beers before starting the movie and keep going as you watch it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great PART of a movie, February 10, 2002

This review is from: The Sore Losers (DVD)

My DVD stopped halfway through the movie. It's a really great movie so it's too bad the DVD is a mess. I also have it on tape and that does have the entire film on it. You may as well get the VHS version because even if the DVD did work it has nothing extra on it that would make it any different from a video.
