TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
annabeutlere This is great for late night hang outs with your friends.
animupizza My mum often picks up cheap horror movies she finds at yard sales for me, and sometimes she brings home those DVDs with a handful of horror movies on them that generally suck. But I was looking over one of them and noticed the title "Evil Bong." It's the only movie I've ever watched on the disc, and probably the only movie I've ever watched on ant of those DVDs. It's one of those movies were the plot is just so ridiculous, and the budget so low, that you laugh through the entire thing. A great movie to watch with a group of friends. If you enjoy the type of movies that are so bad they're good, I would recommend this to you. I've seen it about a dozen times and still put it on when I'm with friends. I can't believe there's more of them!
NightOfTheLivingDon Usually I enjoy Charles Band's brand of incredibly cheesy comedy/horror/sci-fi schlock. I thoroughly enjoyed his earlier work with HIDEOUS!, HEAD OF THE FAMILY, THE CREEPS, and even have a soft spot in my heart for THE DUNGEONMASTER (even it's poster cameo in TROLL). Surely he has dropped off a little with THE GINGERDEAD MAN, PUPPET MASTER LEGACY, and DOLL GRAVEYARD but the films aren't without the Full Moon Charm. EVIL BONG, too, is not without all that makes a Full Moon movie a Full Moon movie, but I could not give it the usual 5 or 6 star rating for a number of reasons. First though, I can say that parts of this movie were some of the funniest Charles Band has turned out in years. The entire Grandpa in the wheelchair scene had me in stitches. Luann's "I'm horny!" dance was really funny considering my girl has done a similar routine before. Bachman's character, too, provided a chuckle or two. Also, Tommy Chong makes me laugh, and anything he does will make me laugh. I can't accredit that to Band or even the film, though. Really, if it wasn't for grandpa I would have given this one a 3 regardless of Tommy Chong's always funny presence. The rest of the movie basically served as a lame cameo-fest (no character beside the Gingerdead Man has anything memorable or funny to say) and shamelessly plugged Band's completely impractical chain of bras. Plus, the only character that provided a source of interest in the first part of the movie dies first. I've gotten used to Band's credits lasting way too long, but to also put in, as one person stated, THAT 70'S SHOW-esquire pot leaf graphics throughout the film frustrated me. The fact that there are plenty of boobs doesn't save it either. Boobs don't make movies, they only enhance them. Maybe I would have enjoyed it better if I was still in college, if you know what I mean. Maybe I should have been in that special state of mind to truly enjoy the film, but it's too late now. After last night, I doubt I'll ever waste that much time to watch it again.If you're one of those "professional stoners" and must have anything to do with weed (or Tommy Chong) than this will certainly make a nice addition to your collection. I'm pretty sure that's why Band made it in the first place. For anyone else, even for people who enjoy Full Moon, you might want to pass on EVIL BONG.
gavin6942 After recently accepting a new room mate, three potheads order a bong from New Orleans. It comes with a warning about dangerous effects. And this warning is real: toking up will take the marijuana enthusiast to Bong World, where they encounter strippers who want nothing more than to take your soul.Charles Band is a strange man. He apparently sits around, looks at random objects in a room, and decades they could be a monster. R. L. Stine had a similar method, I think. In this case, after puffing and passing, Band saw his bong and knew he had struck Acapulco Gold. Except that this film turns out to be completely schwag.The writing is pretty good, as far as the one-liners and conversations go. But there is no plot (unless women grinding on poles is a plot) and the execution is just awful by the main characters. The only actor who was at all convincing was Tommy Chong, who was more or less playing himself (an aged stoner who has become immune to the powers of the weed). The directing? Nothing special.We are given a glimpse of upcoming starlet Kristyn Green, who did alright as the main character's love interest. Michelle Mais does the voice of the Evil Bong, which looks mysteriously like the mushroom from "Troll" (another Band-Buechler film). There's Phil Fondacaro, who you probably just know as "the bearded midget" (another "Troll" actor). He convinced me that he was a bearded midget. The most unusual cameo is from none other than that jerk Bill Moseley as a strip club patron. He appears for about thirty seconds, makes a crack about being in the wrong place (I assume he means this movie) and leaves.One appearance I can't even begin to understand is that of the Gingerdead Man (voiced by John Carl Buechler). Why do we need to have him in this film pleasuring himself in a world full of strippers? An evil bong and satanic strippers weren't enough, so we had to cross the line with a demonic cookie. Thanks, Charles Band. You're either a genius or nearly retarded.I guess I found the film somewhat enjoyable as far as it being one of those "so bad it's almost good" movies. With no plot, poor acting and nothing but naked women, it's not going to be one of those horror films that end up on t-shirts at the next Fangoria convention with quotes we all love. Unless they use a line like "He destroyed the bong, but perished in the attempt." For some reason, that struck me as funny. But please don't watch this film unless you're familiar with Band and need his kind of pathetic film-making to make you happy.
