Microwave Massacre

[Cannibal_Zombie]

just wondering if any one seen this,i got to watch it last night,classic cheese that deserves a DVD release

[RickMoe]

Yeah, this flick's hilarious. Even though the guy's eating (and killing) all these prostitutes, he's like a stand-up comedian. Does anyone here remember the over-sized VHS box that had a microwave on the front? There was a button you could press and then the lights on the microwave would light up!! CLASSIC!!

[zombi3]

Good movie. I rented the tape when I was like 8 years old, but my old man didn't approve so he yanked it from the VCR somewhere around the half way mark. A while later I got to see it in its entirety. I'd definitely pick up the dvd.

CLASSIC!!I never even saw that box.I had the talking Frankenhooker box and the Dead Pit box where the eyes lit up.Wish I had seem that one.:)

[Azrael55]

Unfortunately mine doesn't light up, but oh well it's still an awesome movie. I mean who wouldn't like a film where the voice of Frosty the Snowman goes around eating young girls?

[VideoViolence]

I def want to see this movie! Read so much about it.

[satanservant]

I have always loved this film. I bought a dvd-r of it at a convention but it really needs a good release with some cool special features.

[Semerrill]

is this movie on dvd.

[Wez4555]

is this movie on dvd. no.

[Night Goat]

I saw this movie a long, long time ago (late-80s). I recently had a disagreement with my brother over this film. He said the main character was played by Jackie Mason. I know this isn't true. Who is the star and why is he semi-famous?

[Cannibal_Zombie]

The Star was Jackie Vernon,a stand up comedian,i also think he was the voice for frosty the Snowman

[Severn]

"Bones, bones! Nothing but bones!"

I remember seeing that at a drive-in when I was a wee lad in the early 80's. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. It's been over 20 years since I've seen it.

DVD Pacific (http://www.dvdpacific.com/item.asp?ID=714001) is listing it for a March 14th release to DVD.


It looks like Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EBGFP4/) and CD Universe (http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7037876) are listing it as well.


Anthem Pictures? Hmm...never heard of 'em, but they do have a webpage about it, and even a trailer: http://www.anthemdvd.com/catalog/microwave_massacre/synopsis.htm


Supposedly it will be Uncut.

I hope that's not the cover art :nervous:

Here's a very small review about the movie:

[Myron Breck]

I hope that's not the cover art :nervous:

Yeah, it's pretty bad. But what do you want for $10, right? :p

[slayerfan]

Holy shit! I can't believe this is coming out. I am all over this. I know the cover sucks but I don't care. This is sooo mine!

[razorbackattack]

It makes a great double feature with DRIVE-IN MASSACRE!

[HAEMORRHAGE]

Haha, nice! I've been waiting for this!

[Katatonia]

I hope that's not the cover art :nervous:

:lol: I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it. But, at least it's coming out!!! ;)

[ReelFear]

One of the most enjoyable "Bad" movies ever! HAHA!
I first saw this in the Mid-80's and I always remember the sandwich with the crab on a huge bun that his wife makes him! For some reason that's the only part I can really remember. Should be fun to take a trip down memory lane with the upcoming DVD.

[Evil Dead Guy]

I cannot wait to get this, thanks for the great news. Check out the opening sequence here - http://www.badmovies.org/movies/microwavem/index.html

[gunner]

The absolute best news I've heard all day!! Thank You!!

[DrHerbertWest]

That's the cover art. I looked it up at work and it's the same. Yikes. I want to see this but it's not in our system for ordering yet.

[Franco]

I suppose this is the original cover/poster for the movie:

And here's the cover of an old VHS tape in high-res:

Is it so expensive to acquire the rights to use the original cover/poster art in the DVD ??? :mad:

[bwana the clown]

Ah yes, that was the art on the Aussie video cover. I for one can't wait for this DVD.

[henrychinaski]

I'll second that Bwana. This movie's always had a very fond place in my heart. Definitely one of the best bad movies ever. Funny in almost every scene. I love the constrtuction worker buddies.

[gunner]

I remember (on this board) the guy from Code Red DVD said that he had observed that someone was doing an all-new video transfer from the original negative...could this be it? Crappy cover or not, the transfer could really shine.

Trivia: What was the priceless name of the street band?

[gunner]

Wow, old thread. "Le Fried Pipers" is the trivia answer (who cares).
Anyway, I was fully expecting a delay, but, I just got shipping confirmation on the new dvd of Microwave Massacre from Amazon!! I don't want to fully let the cat out of the bag but this new digital transfer should indeed be most pleasing. Honestly, it's been far too long since I've been this excited about a dvd release. I can remember years and years ago praying for a laserdisc.

[gunner]

Franco, Uncanny. That vhs cover looks nothing like jackie vernon...with your avatar right beside the scan for reference...it looks kinda like you looking into that microwave!! Seriously. lol

[gunner]

Got the disc yesterday. A little disappointed. I'm happy to report that it is the uncut "midnight video" version. And the new colorful full-frame transfer is quite a jump over anything ever seen on home video for this title...but it seems a tad green around the gills to be sourced from an original negative.
The big downer for me is (quote from packaging) "Special Features: Absolutely None. Nada. Zip. Zilch." Now, that's not entirely true...there is a newly cut trailer included (!). But Anthem recorded two seperate commentary tracks. One from director Wayne Berwick, and the other from co-producer Craig Muckler. These were apparently not completed in time and wound up off this release to avoid a date delay #*&@%. Anthem says a new special edition might be in the horizon. But who knows how reliable that is.

[henrychinaski]

Bullshit!

[gunner]

?!

[killnstalk]

is this a slasher film?

[gunner]

Uh, more a slice and dice you laugh at I guess. I didn't put it here.

[Numania]

I just watched this for the first time last night. Man, I think this was the best movie I've ever seen in my entire life. No, but it was AWESOME! I loved it. hahha Funny and there were some excellent titters on display. Wow. What a great time.
