Ooga Booga

Ooga Booga is a little doll with a spear who kills bad, racist white guys. It starts off with a kids TV show where a drunken clown named Hambo is backstage drinking while a young woman in daisy dukes and tied shirt cheers the little monsters on. They chant "Hambo" "Hambo" until we see the man sitting in a chair boozing it up and getting off while reading a Playboy magazine. When he finally appears on stage, he insults the tykes while almost molesting his nubile co-host. Unfortunately, it is the only funny moment in this film. A young black medical student is Hambo's best friend, and he is given the Ooga Booga doll as a gift. The doll comes to life when the med student is killed by a redneck cop. The victims beautiful girlfriend, Donna, teams up with the doll to seek revenge on the bad guys. The strangest part is when Karen Black pops up in a trailer playing a recluse who lives for her TV shows. Stacy Keach is cast as a corrupt judge, also dislikes black people. Ciarra Carter, as Donna, has what may be the most bizarre shower scene in the history of cinema, as the horny devil doll watches her washing up while he performs a solo sex act. Instead of this, look for "Trilogy of Terror" from 1975, where Karen Black also shared the screen with a small, violent doll.

Did not expect much from this film. The story is relatively different yet unoriginal to a degree. The Ooga Booga doll and several characters have been crossed over in some of the Evil Bong films (films 4-8).

The plot regarding a young medical student being unexpectedly killed by a cop then his soul being transferred into the Ooga Booga doll, thus having the doll come to life. This film isn't exactly a comedy, as it's more quite dark and has some gruesome horror-like kills (by the Ooga Booga doll).

The plot line is relatively straightforward and is as expected. Overall this is quite a bizarre film and isn't for everyone. Some decent moments but overall it is lacking.

There is nobody better at bringing the fun of horror and puppets together than Charles Band and Full Moon Horror. With greats like the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys series he they have cornered the market for this genre. Band's latest isn't so much of a puppet, but still could easily live in that same universe with Ooga Booga, but does it deliver the same fun as the films of this genre or will it be the one that should have been left in the jungle?

Ooga Booga follows an innocent African American boy who is brutally murdered by dirty cops, but his soul is magically transferred into an action figure named Ooga Booga. With on his tribal spear and old girlfriend to help he takes to the streets and trailer parks to find the men that ended his once bright future. There is no doubt Band is great at what he does. He somehow takes these silly little characters and turns them into something that should never work. Of course these films are ridiculous, but they still work great. While Ooga Booga doesn't deliver as much of the gore or horror as some of the previous films of its kind it still delivers the fun and cheese nature fans have come to love. The obvious real star is Ooga Booga himself and is made that much greater watching him deliver his tribal yell and glowing red eyes before making his kill that is so brilliantly ridiculous that it works on every level. The film also sports a couple of greats in Stacey Keach and Karen Black who chew up the screen and look like they are having a great time.

There is no doubt that the Full Moon films have a pretty specific audience and those are the same people that will love this movie. Those outsiders that somehow do not grasp the fun that these films deliver will not only get it, but most likely stay away anyway. Let's hope this is not the last time we get to see Ooga Booga, but maybe we can get some fun team ups alongside Gingerdead Man or Puppet Master.

I know you maybe thing this sounds just like "He Who Kills" one of stories in Trilogy of Terror.

This is doll not were near as scary at all , I found the doll a little to nice to be scary and Kill were just dull as it same kill thought the movie.

The whole movie felt empty but thing nice about this was Karen Black started in this movie, which was only funny think about, as it not her first with doll like this.

2 out of 10

Sure, this isnt Citizen Kane, but it's reasonably funny.

he Ooga Booga puppet is pretty cool.

Some if tge acting is pretty bad but come on, this is not going to be a great film. How they got Stacy Keech and Karen Black is beyond me.

Maybe they needed the money. The black girlfriend is pretty toned and does a nude scene in the shower that's is so hot you'll do what Ooga Booga does.

One big problem witht he movie is that there isnt really any great storyline and not enough Ooga Booga,
