I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Escaping capture and traveling through time, the dangerous killer cookie finds himself stranded at a 1970's roller disco about to close and gets up to his old tricks which puts their final dance contest in jeopardy and forces them to battle him off in order to escape the night.This one was quite easily the funniest and goofiest entry in the series. This starts almost immediately here with the cheesy antics as the film goes for that atmosphere here with the manner of how the creature gets free and the manner of it going through makes for a great goofy start that continues throughout the film. By going for the time-travel route and setting the entire film in the roller- disco it creates an atmosphere of sheer utter cheese with the film getting the opportunity to showcase all the rather over-the-top dancing routines set to blaring disco songs with their garish colors and fun-filled times here with the way this one focuses on these scenes generating all the fantastic cheese it can provide. Beyond this setting, it continues that fun with the backstage drama following up on the queen of the dance and all the backstabbing going on that leaves this one with plenty of melodrama that gives this one the type of atmosphere here with the works these here into the depraved way it spoofs the main film around that time with the similar name, powers and storyline that plays right into the actions of the finale which is so cheesy and so much fun inverting the expectations into being for good rather than destruction as it was in the original. All of this goofy action gives the film the type of set-up here for some great action scenes here with some rather fun and over-the-top killings to go alongside these set-ups, with the first assault on the car-washers who spray themselves with acid instead of water, the nail-gun massacre in the supply closet and the exceptionally gruesome sequence in the bathroom where the last victim gets slashed up in a long, gruesome death. Alongside the great make- up effects displayed whenever the creature-puppet is on- screen, there's a lot of great points here to like over the few minor flaws here. The biggest facet to overcome here is the cheese which might come at the expense of this one on the whole not being enjoyable as there's so much present here that it does hold a big part against this one. Still, while that might be an individual part the one other facet to overcome is the weak CGI which looks quite cheap and distracting which is used for such things as the bloodshed and scenes of the killer in action rather than letting the puppet get centerstage. Otherwise, there's not a lot to dislike here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a sex scene and drug use.

1.for starters it supposed to be set in 1976, why the heck are there so many modern looking arcade games, Including the simpsons arcade game(considering it was released in the 90s and the show did not even debut until the late 80s), little to no real effort was made to make this a period piece for the 70s, save for clearly costume style clothing and a disco ball, they were too freaking lazy to unplug everything and move it somewhere else for their shots.2. the gingerdead man himself never resembled how he looked in the poster from the first or second film, ironically now the puppet is modeled (at least up close) to look like the one from the posters but now they use a different puppet for the poster for this one3. it has lost all of the seriousity(or seriousness) the first one had I have not seen the second one but judging by the trailer there was more effort, this is just garbage, straight up rotten month old garbage mixed with the stench of dead animals and fecal matter4. no explanation for anything in this film why does a maximum security prison have a time machine? how did the gingerdead man end up there? why does he share a cell with other killer baked goods and pastries? where did they come from? why would you keep acid at a roller skating rink? why didn't they even try to take this seriously? you can make this concept work and make it sort of scary, but they didn't they went the route that made this a bad movie, its not even a so bad its good kind of movie, its terrible, this could compete with oogieloves or return of the killer tomatoes(that was so bad I quit watching halfway through)I wouldn't recommend this to anyone save for someone on That guy with the glasses or channel awesome. I had to leave a lot of stuff out for due to the 1000 word limit final verdict: atrocious

Gingerdead Man with Gary Busey was solid fun. Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust was a riot. Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver follows a similar formula that GDM 2 had and is yet another entertaining entry in the on-going series. A fun movie with a tremendously well done opening scene! Lots of dirty humor again and lots of deaths. I also get killed in this movie (I wear #80 in the background on some scenes and get electrocuted). Only gripes with this film are the CGI was a little bad at times, and I don't remember it acknowledging the first 2. However, those don't factor into the overall movie too much as this is another fun film. Long live the Gingerdead Man and I hope there is a part 4!

This film shocked me. I am usually criticizing Bill Butler for his awful directing, but this may just be his best film... despite being a low budget Full Moon picture, and the third in a series, it was legitimately funny and a well-made film. (Unlike "Evil Bong 3", which is a waste of time.) Without Gary Busey, you need a good voice to be the homicidal gingerbread man. John Carl Buechler? Good choice. We also have Robin Sydney here (in a very small role) and some great parodies of "Silence of the Lambs" and "Carrie".I will not say this is a "great" film, but it is a fun film. I enjoyed it more than I expected, and I was not even drunk. It looks like a part four may be coming sooner or later, but that might not be the worst thing if done right...
