Details

In the desert outside Cactus Gulch, Arizona, Buzzard and Betty Jean Wall live in a trailer decorated in Hawaiian themes. Betty's trying to get pregnant. Buzz wants to market "Cammo," a sun block lotion that looks like camouflage; but financing is tough to find and Betty thinks he should get a real job. Buzz's half-brother Turkey, a murderous psychopath, escapes from jail, comes to the trailer, ties up Buzz, kidnaps Betty, steals $10,000 they've just won from Publisher's Clearing Hut's Lucky Loser drawing, and heads for Mexico. Buzz is untied by Maya, an ex-girlfriend who's now a TV reporter in search of a story. They pick up Turk's trail and set out to rescue Betty.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
fred here I watched this 20 years ago and it still is memorable. Stephen Baldwin is underrated and gives a stellar performance. It actually has a great quirky comedy script and played to the hilt by all actors. I have been trying to find this to watch and it is rare and not at redbox. He is an inventor trying to create a biodegradable sunblock for the army in his backyard in Arizona desert.I watched this 20 years ago and it still is memorable.

merklekranz "Under the Hula Moon" is a very uneasy mixture of violence and dark comedy. Though not totally successful, this edgy combination will no doubt satisfy those with "cult movie" interests. Chris Penn (as Turk ) provides the unpredictable explosive violence, while Stephen Baldwin (as Buzz) and Emily Lloyd provide lighter moments in their "Hawaiianized desert house trailer". The movie contains some very sharp dialog that is absolutely priceless. Turk "You can't turn a pussy into a wildcat". Buzz " Maybe not but where you're going (prison) they can turn an asshole into a pussy". This is a low budget gem just waiting to be discovered by the right audience. - MERK
djinh Unlike another comment here, I did not at all get the idea this movie is a Pulp Fiction rip off. However, I can see that liking this movie is very much a matter of taste.I quite liked watching it though. I caught myself being curious what the next plot twist was going to be a few times, as the development of the plot is a bit strange. I would definitely buy this if it were out on DVD.
rusty-57 Stephen Baldwin is so funny in this colorful comedy. Looks cool and the music was camp. See it.
