Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong

What can I say, some days you wake up and start your day like every other but for some reason this one day your life is changed forever for no apparent reason. That was my life today, after my first viewing of Gingerdead man vs Evil Bong the only thing my body was capable of doing was gasping in disbelief that something so masterful could have been created by humanity. Not only is this one of the greatest acting performances of all time it has maybe one of the single most thoughtout, lore dense, creative universes in cinema history. All I can say is, thank you for your lasting impact on cinema.

Released in 2013 after the third Evil Bong film and after the conclusion of the third and final Gingerdead Man film.

After watching the entire series of both franchises, can see how this fits in place. It may not be on the same level of the original Evil Bong films, though it's close enough. It is certainly better than the last few Bong films and the Gingerdead Man films.

The plot isn't exactly deep or original. It's basic, simple yet effective. John Patrick Jordan as Larnell is at his best when he's the lead of the franchise, with Rabbit as the co-lead. Robin Sydney portraying both her characters of Luann and Sarah (mostly Sarah from the Gingerdead Man series) works. Eebee and the Gingerdead Man have some highlights.

This film would more likely be enjoyed by fans of the both franchises, and may be off putting for those who aren't exactly familiar with either franchise.

Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong (2013) is available for free on Tubi and tells the tale of our favorite Gingerdead Man still on the warpath against Sarah for trapping him in the Gingerbread Man. The Gingerdead Man partners with the Evil Bong after she promises to turn him back into a man; meanwhile, Sarah partners with Larnell in hopes of stopping the two killers. This movie is directed by Charles Band (Puppetmaster) and stars John Patrick Jordan (Mad Men), Robin Sydney (The Gingerdead Man), Sonny Carl Davis (Thelma & Louise) and Peter Donald Badalamenti (Bad Boys II). The storyline for this matches the two movies up well together and the two sets of characters naturally match up well together also. The comedic content is consistent with the other pictures in both series (not quiet as good as some of the other films but the content is identical). There isn't really any worthwhile kill scenes to reference. The movie is fun if you're a fan of the series but not particularly good outside of that. I'd give this a 3/10.

The first thing to ask yourself when thinking about watching a movie titled Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong is this: Are you able to switch off your brain and embrace some mildly entertaining, low budget lunacy from the good folks at Full Moon? The titular characters from the Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong series meet in a movie which should, at the very least, satisfy fans of either franchise. The film might service the Evil Bong series slightly more, but there's enough foul mouthed dough-boy Gingerdead man to go around. Larnell is the only one of the stoner quad to return along with Rabbitt, the friend/foil of the series. Larnell and his height-challenged head-shop employee String find themselves in the path of destruction when Gingerdead man decides to take out Sarah Leigh (from the original Gingerdead Man) once and for all! It ain't high art, folk. But if you're in the market for something light and stupid from Full Moon, have at 'er. And at least it isn't as awful as Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys.

GINGERDEAD MAN VS. EVIL BONG is, it has to be said, a disappointing team-up between the two Full Moon franchises. The problem with this one is that the budget is lower than ever and it's all talk in a single set for the most part. The two series villains aren't even enemies, not really, so don't expect any kind of big showdown or anything. For the most part this is made up of the usual quirky, drug-infused comedy, with the novelty of the main actress playing dual roles (which comes from her playing different characters in each series). Some of the humour's not bad and the cast are certainly game for a laugh, but I was expecting a little more from this one.
