Street Trash (1987)
1/10
Watch with judicious use of fast-forward, if you must
17 July 1999
Warning: Spoilers
I first came across this film late at night, as one is probably wont to. It was the infamous scene of two guys playing keep-away with another man's severed...er...male member. Certainly unforgettable, I was dumb-struck. The other "gross-out" scenes are more amusing than disgusting, they're either too arty (street-people melting into designer-pastel coloured puddles of goo), too cartoonish (a man getting decapitated by a flying gas-tank) or both (a fat man inflating like a balloon and exploding in a splash of what looks like fruit punch). If you dare to watch the film, you'll be sure to want to fast forward to the "good" stuff, as the acting and writing is so inept, any scene with any sort of dialogue is like painful dentistry to endure. When a mob subplot is haphazardly inserted for no good reason, you know you're in trouble. In spite of the amusing visual style, a pretty awful film, all things considered.
