I was cast Riff-Raff at our theater for awhile. I would
love to see it in the theater these days with updated lines, I could imagine,
Criminologist: "Brad and Janet had both tasted..."
1/2 of audience: "Frank's cock!"
Other half of audience: "It's a weapon of mass destruction!"
Heh, I wasn't knocking Hairspray by saying any JW film prior to it, Hairspray was great! (but the thread was about movies that are so bad they're good
) I have the Pink Flamingos DVD that was a double feature with Female Trouble. John Waters director commentaries are my favorite DVD extra ever. The man truly is demented but he
is hilarious. He was always a perfect throw into the mix when they would have him on Politically Incorrect. I could listen to him for hours.
Speaking of Pink Flamingos, back when JW made it he basically used his record collection to cull the soundtrack (often complete with pops and crackles). When they released the 25th Anniversary video and the DVD much of the music was changed because of copyright holders not wanting the songs included. JW did a good job of negotiating replacement music but to me it changed the feel of some scenes and the digital quality music takes away from the trashiness of the movie. I lucked up ages ago on a copy of the long out of print VHS of the original version and for that movie the occasional scratchy from the transfer print and the original rough mono soundtrack was part of the film's character, afterall they
were the filthiest people alive!
