also known as "Killer Condom" this film takes place in New York,but all the characters are German.it is after all,German film.i'm not sure if it's a good film.it's a spoof film,but it's also a commentary on society,in my opinion at least.it's deliberately absurd,that's certain.if you are a conservative fundamentalist Christian, you might find this one offensive(which may be the whole point of the movie)as a lot of its subject matter is quite...i'm not sure how to describe it.let's just say this film is very liberal in its portrayal of certain activities.i didn't really like it,but i think it's one of those movies that either works for you or doesn't,with not much grey area.i could be out to lunch with this one.all i know is,i haven't see anything like it so far.anyway,for me,this movie is too hard to rate.all i can say,is prepare yourself before watching it.
Expecting this to be bad cult film in the vein of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", I was pleasantly surprised to find this a delight. New Yorkers and Oklahomans speaking German started me tittering. (It was also rather creepy--as though Hitler had won the war.) A little further, however, my tittering escalated into full-throated laughter. This is a clever parody of film noir, sci-fi, and soft-core porn films rolled into one. Top-notch performances by an excellent cast, a clever script, and talented direction make this one to see. Watch it with a group of unprudish friends for its full effect. Better still, watch it with a gay audience.
A brilliant piece of tongue-in-cheek work. Played with magnificent straightness and forthrightness. This movie has so many things lacking in modern film. It has mad scientists, deranged religious maniacs, New York City, Italian detectives, hard-bitten police chiefs, loves lost, loves found, loves misplaced and never looked for. We get to see the deranged work of genius put to the evil task of eliminating the impure before the second coming of the Messiah. Major bummer that He's a regular patron of the 'Hotel Quicky." Watch it, laugh at it, enjoy it. It's worth your time.
No, not necessarily...as KILLER CONDOM goes on to prove, that the fine line dividing mainstream comedy and good old-fashioned tasteless exploitation, has all but vanished.
At the "Hotel Quickie," a New York City hotel/brothel, mostly male hookers and tricks are falling prey to a slew of razor-fanged prophylactics. Yes, castrating "carnivorous condoms," which, actually turn out to be man-made creatures concocted by a man-hating, ultra-conservative, religious fanatic psycho to wipe out homosexuals, hookers and other unsavory "perverts!" A grizzled, gruff and gay cop, who loses his "right nut" to one, is on the case.
Other than running the gamut of penis and testicle synonyms, this vulgar, often side-splitting, deadpan horror/comedy does an fairly decent job satirizing politics, religion and sexual taboos and serves as a focused, pointed and blunt look at the gay lifestyle (and the stereotypes it creates) from a refreshingly pro-gay agenda--a first in the world of horror. It's surprisingly well made, directed and acted, too, with big time cult movie potential. The video is subtitled and unrated. Very much recommended (if you're open-minded)!

Definitly one of Troma's strangest and with a message. Killer Condom is definitly not for the homophobic or conservative as it is a pro homosexual movie that deals with society's issue's with homosexuality and morality and is an attack on the gay bashing conservative religious right community. The Killer Condoms of the title was created by the government( i think i can't remember) to murder homosexuals and sexual deviants proving a roller coaster ride of cheesy low bro humor and gags. Definitly for the open minded people out there to check out

- TriviaAlthough the movie's American release under the Troma brand indicates a low budget and a home made quality, its 5 million DM budget was very high for a German comedy at that time, the cast includes well known character actors and comedians, iconic surrealist H.R. Giger was hired to do some design work and because of the popularity of Ralf König's comics and the commercial success of the earlier König adaptation Maybe... Maybe Not (1994), it was expected to be the smash hit of 1996. Unfortunately the opposite was the case and although it achieved cult classic status later on, it was disliked by critics and disappeared from movie theaters within less than a month.
