Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust

He's been a baaad boy!

Super awesome movie. They just don't stop here. I've played on ordering the next part. Thanks seller for the great price.

People may think I may be weird, but I find b-rated movies like this very entertaining. This movie spoofed a couple of blockbusters, while keeping true to it's own identity of being a horror comedy.

This is my favorite out of all the gingerdead movies, delightfull from beginning to end. Also like gingerdead man vs evil bong

Great DVD and shape as described. Good deal

What does it look like when a movie studio has given up? It looks like THE GINGERDEAD MAN 2: Passion of the Crust.Millard Findlemeyer has, somehow, returned. Never mind the recap at the beginning of this sequel shows his gingerbread body being eaten, and then the human body he had taken over being burned up, somehow he’s back in his gingerbread body and has been delivered from Texas to LA along with a box of donuts to the Cheatum movie studio where production is under way on TINY TERRORS 9: Purgatory of the Petite.Findlemeyer is desperate to find a new host body, and he uses a prop spell book to figure out how to do that. First he needs to kill five people, then one more, a virgin, in order to transfer his soul into a new host. Since he’s only just now learning how to perform this spell, it can safely be assumed this isn’t the method he used to come back in the first place, so it’s still unexplained how he went from eaten to burned to back in his gingerbread body, but whatever.So Findlemeyer sets about offing his victims. Meanwhile, studio head Kelvin Cheatum, a young man with big dreams and no talent, who is just trying to keep the studio his father created afloat, is giving a tour of the place to Tommy as part of the End of the Rainbow Foundation. Tommy doesn’t have much time left and his dying wish was to see the Cheatum lot.This is the gist of THE GINGERDEAD MAN 2. There is little actual plot, the kills are lame--especially the second one, that was just pathetic--and the whole thing is played as a joke. Well, that makes sense, since this is billed a horror comedy. The problem is, it’s neither scary nor funny. I said it was played as a joke, I never said it was a good joke.The whole Cheatum Studios thing is nothing more than a play on the Full Moon Entertainment roster of movies, playing up how low their budgets are and how ill-received their movies are by critics. The Cheatum aspect of the plot is sort of a middle finger from Full Moon to all the people who say they make bad movies. The thing is, the DO make bad movies. But we still watch them because, for the most part, they seem--or SEEMED--to take what they did seriously. That was part of the fun, the punch line to the joke, because the movies were bad, but they had passion behind them. This one, however, it’s just sad.Self-referential stories are fun, that’s why SCREAM was so popular, and being in on the joke is cool, too. But the in-joke has to have something of substance behind it. The gingerdead man masturbating while an up-and-comer nails a desperate has-been before killing them both is not funny. It’s just a show of how far the once-decent Full Moon has fallen if THIS passes for entertainment.The cast is decent, I suppose, all things considered. Writer Muffy Bolding and director Silvia St. Croix have opted for the ridiculous when it comes to humor, and there’s not even an attempt at horror, so the whole movie plays like bad slapstick, and the cast are just trying to get through the shoot, grab a sandwich from the craft services table, and get back to their apartments so they can cry themselves to sleep. The main star, K-Von (Kelvin Cheatum) went on to play various roles in MTV’s “Disaster Date” while Tommy (Joseph Porter) was Ensign Filbert in MEGA PIRANHA. Kelsey Sanders, who played Heather from the End of the Rainbow Foundation and Tommy’s chaperone, went on to play “Ann Margaret Type” on an episode of “Mad Men” and “Redhead” on “Nashville”.These aren’t big names, but they gave it their all and it wasn’t terrible. In fact, I suspect with a better script and a director who wanted to make a horror movie, they might have done pretty well indeed.Too bad they were hobbled from the beginning by a production company that just didn’t care. The very fact there is a movie called THE GINGERDEAD MAN 2: Passion of the Crust is already a sure sign the end is near, but man, at least TRY to make it not suck. They owed their fans at least that much.

Great show!
