Hiya, true believers! It’s Dr. Terrible here with another terribly trepidatious Troma movie review! It’s a really funny stink bomb of a flick... and I loved every minute of it. Let’s begin!
Coons! Night of the Bandits of the Night is about a couple college kids who go to a campground on spring break to have a nice relaxing week away from school. They run into hippies, Bible students, and slightly retarded jocks. The coons (raccoons) come, infect the campers with their scat (poop!) and the chaos and hilarity ensues.
This flick is actually meant to be funny rather than trying to make serious art out of a $5,000 budget. The actors remind me of the cast of The Whitest Kids U Know. I laughed my self into a coma the whole way.
This being a Troma movie, you’d expect copious amounts of both bush and blood, but you’d be wrong! I was wrong!. There’s some occasional blood here and there, but no guts or anything like that. There are no boobs, minus a few nude raccoons.
The acting is really average. The cast perform their roles as well as they can but, due the budget, they're forced to use one actor more than once; this is another funny part.
The raccoons that are used are freeze dried dead specimens, which is sort of gross, really, but what are you gonna do? They're really old looking and one of the few good props in the movie. They're creepy; all stuffed and frees dried and staring at you with their dead eyes. The rest of the props came from the dollar section of a costume store: Big fake mustaches, plastic doodie... you get the idea.
Over all, I’d give this movie 7 out of 10 on my poop scale. The humor and songs were dead on, but the gore and lack of boobs or raunch left me wanting.
That’s all for now, friends, I’ll see you guys soon for another titillating edition of Dr. Terrible’s Bad Movie Reviews!
