Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Oh my goodness! Mulva awakens from a five-year coma and looks just like Debbie Rochon! In a parody of Kill Bill, she is now out to seek revenge on all those who stole her candy in Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker.Yes, it is cheesy and ridiculous, but there are some really funny lines (I'm a porn star, for Gibson's sake.) and, hey, it's Debbie Rochon. She is fantastic and really shows her great range as she hams it up in this farce. It's worth the price of admission, just to see her beauty again.Lots of blood (some of it looked suspiciously like water) and gore, but what kind of movie has lesbians and no lesbian action? Disappointing.But, what is this John Stamos fetish?

Mulva is put in a sugercoma by Teen Ape. When she awakens she's considerably hotter (the parts played by Debbie Rochon in this sequel), and out for revenge on those that did her wrong. As the sub-title and box art implies this is indeed a take off on the "Kill Bill" films, but this being a Chris Seaver's film, it's a wildly incompetent satire (and I use that last term extremely loosely) I'd love to say this is better than the first film, but truth be told I was so impossibly drunk off my ass when I saw the previous film that I can't even hope to compare the two at this point in time. But I must have enjoyed it since I bought the sequel (see when I'm drunk I like, for lack of a better word, complete and total crappy movies) There are a few laugh out loud moments (very few) but I do remember Bonejack being funnier though. Well at least at slightly over an hour, it IS over mighty quickly for what it's worth.My Grade: D+ DVD Extras: Audio commentary by Director Chris Seaver, actress Debbie Rochon, and the Lbp gang; Second commentary by Seaver; 31 minute Making of featurette; Lloyd Kaufman's 6 minute tribute to low budget pictures; Fake 2 minute syrup commercial; stills gallery; Promo trailer; and trailers for :Mulva", 'Quest for the Egg Salad", "Fiilthy McNasty"1, 2, & 3; "the Feral Man", "the Bonesetter", "Midnight Skater", "Demon Summer" & "Splatter Rampage Wrestling"

The bad news is it's still really dreadful. I gave it a 2 because occasionally some of this kitchy slapstick parody actually seems funny.It's supposed to be better than "Mulva, Zombie Ass Kicker", and progress should be rewarded. Or maybe I was drinking heavily when I watched it and felt generous. Whatever, "2" it is.Maybe the best thing about this movie is that it's over pretty quick. It takes elements from most of Kill Bill I & II's key themes and fight scenes, hacks them up, dumbs them way down, dirties up the dialog, and squishes the whole mess into about an hour of truly awful amateur video.You'd best smoke a lot of something powerful if you want to enjoy this one. And get this DVD back to the video store on time! You'll really hate yourself if you have to pay a late fee.

This is a very funny, often witty, always crude parody of the breaking Quentin Tarantino duology Kill Bill. Debbie Rochon is perfectly cast as Mulva, the woman in search of vengeance after a 5 years coma inducted by a gang of special characters, lead by the eponymous Teen Ape. The movie is of course a really low budget one, but it is full of clever ideas on how to make a good satire of such a couple of blockbuster movies and repeat several sequences made famous by Tarantino and his wonderful cast. Here we have a mostly amatorial cast, but Debbie Rochon is a really fun, fine, beautiful actress, able to tie you to the screen even without baring her really big assets, if you know what i mean. And for her fans out there - and we are many scores, perhaps hundreds of thousands - seeing her in this new part of her career - and she has a full schedule as you can see here on IMDb - is still good and i'm really very happy for her demonstrating that a good actress may emerge even without resorting to her last weapon: baring her breasts (even if a part of me is crying saying this words... o my Debbie...) All in all, a really good effort, short and still full of surprises. Thanks to all the people involved in the project for a good hour of fun.
