by Tasteful Misogyny
When a megalomaniac warlord threatens the world’s resources, a covert strike team is deployed to hunt him down in the frozen Alps.
Outnumbered, outgunned, and facing impossible odds, the unit must push past betrayal, chaos, and the unthinkable truth behind their enemy.
Explosive action and a clash of wills erupt in this outrageous battle for survival.
This reminded me of Bad Taste!
There was such a commitment to going out and being freaks!
The helicopter Toyota joke just kept giving! The sound effects! The vfx!
But more than anything, this film reminded me of Who Killed Captain Alex? In the best way possible!
I think you guys NAILED the cheapo action schlock fest in aesthetic, and narrative execution!
11/10
The best depiction of Osama-ben-Ladin I have ever seen put to screen! I see you also shop at looksharp. The robot twist was INSPIRED! The helicopter car joke is SO FUCKING GOOD and I think im just going to take it. Its MY joke now. I would love to collab with you group of freaks! Please hit me up
Four films in and this heat is still weird as shit. This film is so everything that I don't know what to comment on or how to review it.
We have the Egyptian villain we didn't know we needed in our lives. The vulgar team intro with censor beeps that fail to censor. The exquisite helicopter car. The characters who are unperturbed by a propeller slashing through their head and splashing blood everywhere.
The old-timey newsreel announcer is on point. The actor who dashes out of his own death VFX shot is perfection.
Michael is in hysterics. Joel yells out "Best comeback ever!" (I hope it was him. I'm making a fool of myself if it was someone else.)
Should I be offended by a film that has misogyny in its team name and a bin Laden rip-off as its main character? Fuck knows.
Hell yeah! This is one heck of a movie. Such fun for the whole ride and an excellent way to do the Man Vs Machine genre. I'll be honest I thought or movie would have the most unhinged original song with a jaunty accordion milk drinking anthem but I think "I'm a mother f*ckin' killer robot" is the winner here. Great work team
An utterly ridiculous film in the all the best ways possible. Films like this and 'Substance 1' really captures the spirit of the competition and brings me back to my early days in the competition when I was in high school.
YOU CHEEKY BOYS - YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU'D GET THAT THROWBACK PAST ME DID YOU?
On first viewing, we were sitting there, absolutely fixated on the plot of this masterpiece, when we were completely blindsided by a track that took me back to 2021 - I turned to Rachel and said "oh my God, I thought I recognised these guys!!" and low and behold, the motherfucking killer robot returned!
Seems to me like these commenters need a bit of educating! *ahem*
The year was 2018 - I was merely child, making silly movies about someone ordering too many pizzas. Keen to try go to all the heats of the competition for inspiration, my world would be turned upside down when the team name "Aaron's Anal Lube Vacation" would come across the screen. Their style - bonkers, their not-giving-a-shit attitude - mesmerising, their desire to terrorise their viewers in the theatre was beyond matched - dare I say it, not even the likes of Herms or Carmen Road could haunt us the way Aaron's Anal Lube Vacation had successfully done so. On one hand they bitch about the max length of the titles, and in the other they'll make you sit through credits the same length as their film. I was immediately in love, and wanted to watch their films forever.
We would see their return as "Aaron's Censorship Trial" in 2021, another absolute banger of a film (if you can call it that) and their original song, the motherfucking killer robot, would hit the Tempero charts in a big way. It was in my head for MONTHS after the competition.
and then after that - silence, as if they disappeared off the face of the earth. I was heartbroken, where had Aaron's Anal gone? Why no more Anal Aaron? I was devastated.
But now, out of the shadows, come's Tasteful Misogyny!! The return of Aaron's Anal under a sneaky pseudonym! And you would have got past us all too it seems - if it wasn't for your 48hours addicted city manager knowing the last decade of Christchurch like the back of his hand!
I must admit, it did take me a moment to cotton onto who you were, but I was suspicious the entire time! And then after a few minutes of total insanity, you resurrected our robot lord and saviour, and it all fell into place.
TO BE CLEAR - FOR THOSE THAT DIDN'T REALISE IN THE CINEMA - THESE GUYS TOOK AN ENTIRE SCENE FROM AN OLD ENTRY OF THEIRS AND CRAMMED IT BACK INTO THIS MASTERPIECE! AND THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO WITHOUT BREAKING THE RULES! AND IT WAS AMAZING!
It was by far the absolute highlight of the City Manager role this year - being the one to watch this return before audiences got a chance. What an honour!
Beyond how stoked I am that you're back - I also want to say this is the best film you've made so far hahahahahahahahahaha
THE BEST THING: That you've returned
THE NEXT THING: Never leave me again! And never change who you are!
And I promise from the bottom of my heart I will be looking into the title lengths to see if there is any wiggle room, I will try team! I will!
