There are 10 episodes currently available and more to come in the coming weeks The Garbage Pail Kids Movie The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Official Trailer 1 - Phil Fondacaro Movie (1987) HD Watch on. When a movie this universally loathed gets a Collector’s Edition treatment with tons of bonus features, including cast interviews, there is no way to pass on such a release. Today, it has a 0 rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Times in 1987 stated that They should have kept a lid on the Garbage Pail Kids movie. To me it is one of the worst films of the 1980’s without question. Critics trashed the movie with many calling it one of the worst movies ever made. Even at such a young age, I knew “The Garbage Pail Kids Movie” was complete and utter crap. Not only was I disappointed, but I was also pretty creeped out by it. Upon its release it didn’t make it to any theater in my neighborhood, so I had to wait till it was released on video to see it for myself. When it was time for them to get their own movie, I was all in. As a child of the 80’s, I was a fan/collector of the “Garbage Pail Kids” trading cards. If you are wondering why this film is being released under Shout! Factory’s “Scream” banner, then you have clearly never seen this truly horrific piece of 80’s cinema. We probably watch it once every other month.Arriving on Collector’s Edition Blu-ray this week is 1987’s “The Garbage Pail Kids Movie”, courtesy of Scream Factory. It is the last film to be directed by Amateau before his retirement in 1989 and death in 2003. Not many people in my orbit have the nostalgia or love for this one, not even in a "so bad it's good" way, but my kid has latched onto the Garbage Pail Kids, so he loves it too. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a 1987 American live-action film adaptation of the then-popular childrens trading cards series of the same name produced, directed, and co-written by Rod Amateau. Here we are, years later, and I've got every physical copy of the film, including a mint copy on VHS gifted to me from a friend about a decade ago. Made a copy of it, finally gaining my holy grail on VHS. It was a Suncoast employee who clued me in as to what Out of Print meant (we're in the early 90's at this point, so I'm 12) and it couldn't even be ordered.įinally, we hit the late 90's and I hit the jackpot: a local video store has a copy! I rush over there, dragging my grandfather with me (I was a few months shy of turning 18 and needed his credit card to open an account), and shot home to watch. I looked at flea markets, yard sales, giant FYE and Suncoast video stores, nothing. I called around to every video store around me looking for this movie. The only other time I ever saw the film on TV was on a Saturday morning a month or so later, but it was midway through (right after they hijack the Pepsi truck), so taping it from there would do me no good. The Zero (Photo by Atlantic Releasing) The Garbage Pail Kids Movie follows the travails of Dodger (Mackenzie Astin), a relentlessly bullied, seemingly parentless 14-year-old whose only joy in life comes from working at a cozy little antiques shop run by kindly, life lesson-dispensing magician Captain Manzini (pop star and actor Anthony Newley, in his final performance). I pop it in, and much to my dismay, my other cousin thought that someone left the TV on when they went out (my other cousin wasn't home) and turned the tape and the TV off. I get to my aunt's house that week and there's the tape, sitting on top of the VCR. It finally comes on cable, and my older cousin offers to tape it for me. Of course, my parents had no interest in seeing this in the theater, so I had to wait for television. Legit.Īs a kid, I collected all the cards, so when I saw the ad (in Masters of the Universe magazine!) for the film, I was psyched.
