The other night I fell asleep watching a good movie (Eastern Promises) and woke up at 3 AM. I decided to check out what was on TV and came upon a movie so bad I think it permanently affected me.
The movie is called "Rat Pfink A Boo Boo"--I'm not making this up--and it was made in 1966 (www.imdb.com/title/tt0059637/). It was apparently a spoof of Batman and Robin type costume capers. It had senseless editing, little or no plot, bad lighting, no acting so to speak, a gorgeous heroine who walks around in her underwear for no good reason, stupid villains wearing white sneakers, a guy in a gorilla suit, oh and did I mention a hero who carries around a guitar without a strap or case and breaks into musical numbers without warning? The only positive thing is that there is really cool footage of the clothes and cars and hairstyles of LA in the mid-60's.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
And of course the title song sequence featuring bikinis, go go dancing, fat guy with a goatee at the barbecue, and kids jumping into the pool with their clothes on:
It almost makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look professional.
