Being a huge Rudy Ray Moore fan has its advantages and
drawbacks. An advantage is that the nice people at Xenon Video
have assembled his greatest (and only) films in a box set. A
drawback is that I don't have any friends left after forcing them to sit
through all the films, the most harrowing of which is the Avenging
Disco Godfather. An initial question must be asked, Did they only have to pay for the
amount of the script that was audible? I love waka-jawaka music
as much as the next extremely funky individual, but I can't help but
think that I missed some vital pieces of exposition because of the
thumping soundtrack. Particularly near the beginning when Bucky
and his girlfriend go outside to have a moist make-out session in
front of the Blueberry Hill. Then the "bad guys" pull up in that car...
oh my god!. Did you see that car? It had a conference table, a wet
bar, a fully operational disco ball - with disco, and a complete
finished basement! How I miss the 70's, when all cars were
bigger than my old dorm room, including the "economy compacts." Anyway... I've used up all my space and didn't even get to mention
Rudy Ray's fantastic costumes. I can't help but believe that the
costume designer funded the film, and that's why the hideous
sequined outfits serve as such important plot devices. The fat old
Elvis would've been embarassed to wear them. Oh, and please don't reveal the secret ending to your friends. You
know, the one that lacks any sense of plot resolution. Yeah... that
one. Oy! Enjoy, and please remember to Attack the Wack. Thank
you.
