Cannibal! The Musical
This movie has a 70% Approval Rating Based on 1 Reviews Read Reviews
Set in 1873, the film deals with Alferd Packer (Juan Schwartz- AKA Trey Parker), who is accused of cannibalizing members of his six-man party on a trip West. There are comic songs, Japanese people pretending to be Indians, and a cyclops whose eye spurts pus. The film's highlight may be Alferd's saloon kung-fu fight with a cocky fur-trapper named Frenchy over his beloved horse Liane. Cannibal! is surprisingly light on gore for a Troma Team release (save for the prologue and finale) concentrating instead on goofy sight-gags, sex jokes and silly songs like "Shpadoinkle" and "Hang the Bastard".
The cinematography is attractive, evoking all those frontier musicals of yore, and the overall quality is good, if obviously low-budget. A rare winner from Troma, featuring a cameo by underground film maven Stan Brakhage as the father of one of the pioneers.
