![]() Following up their breakthrough film, 2001's Super Troopers, the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, comprised of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske, took aim at the horror genre and delivered Club Dread. Starring the five members of the troupe along with Bill Paxton, the film is set at an anything-goes tropical resort for swingers. When a psychotic killer starts offing the guests with a razor sharp machete, it's up to the staff to hide the carnage, lest they lose the business of the unsuspecting surviving guests. As with Super Troopers and the first Broken Lizard film Puddle Cruiser, Chandrasekhar directs. |

Its VERY cheesy, and yep its a horror-comedy but it's very entertaining with a pretty big bodycount and some pretty good kills. I liked it.

It's not THAT terrible, but yeah, its pretty hokey. What's to be expected from a movie like this though? I had fun with it but idk if I'd ever want to BUY it. |

Showed this to Robby last night. He LOVED it and I'm really happy about that. I still need to watch the 20+ deleted scenes though and listen to all the commentaries. I still can't get over the fact that Jordan Ladd was in this as Penelope. How'd I NOT figure out that that was her?! |

I need to rewatch this. I haven't seen it in like six years. Lol. This is such a strange movie. It's at once a fun slasher, but at the same time a very typical Broken Lizard comedy movie... Is Broken Lizard even still around? |

I think their last movie was in 2010 but they had a fundraiser for another movie last year (not sure how that went) so...sort of?

Haha. And they were planning on making a Super Troopers 2, since that was easily their biggest film, but I guess it never happened. I wish they would make more slashers, though. This was a ridiculous, insane, stupid as all get out movie, but I quite like it. And it has Jordan Ladd showing those sweet Jennifer Love Hewitts for all the world to see. |

Super Troopers 2 was the one they were trying to fund last year, I think.

Haha. Too bad it fell through. Super Troopers was funny. I mean... Not funny enough for me to fund a sequel, but... Funny enough. |

Their Indiegogo didn't fall through. They made their money. Now they only have two more stretch goals they're trying to get funded by people. See here. We will get a Super Troopers 2.

I watched this again recently because of Bill Paxton's death, and because I remember loving it when I was in high school. Sadly, it didn't really hold up all that well, though that's not to say it's totally disposable. Paxton's definitely the best part of the movie by far. They should've made his Jimmy Buffett parody the protagonist instead of the fairly vanilla Jenny and Lars, because he was hysterical and stole the show every time he was on screen. The problems, I felt, were in the horror side of the story. It was pretty mediocre at best as a slasher, there weren't a lot of great kills apart from one of the opening victims and the death of the killer at the end (odd, given how willing they were to embrace the R rating with the sexual humor), and it played everything too straight even with a cast of funny (if fairly one-note) characters. It's one of those movies that works best if you're just a bit too young to be watching it, as while it's got its moments, it doesn't really work all the way through. That said, I'd love to see the extended version, given how much they apparently cut from the film. My full review is here. |

This is what I Still Know What You Did Last Summer wishes it had been All kidding aside, this was disappointing. Especially after Super Troopers. I had such high hopes. Horror-Comedy is hard to pull off. There are some good/great things about this. Number one being Bill Paxton. He truly does steal every scene he's in. I love that Pac-Man scene. I so want to play that. Outside of that, there isn't much else that I like about it. Except, of course, Brittany Daniel. And M.C. Gainey, for different reasons. Spoiler: click to toggle
