Summary
The Gingerdead Man travels back in time in 1976 where he carries out an epic disco killing spree.
Why It Got Cleaved on a Saturday Night
- Just plain awful effects throughout the entire movie.
- The Gingerdead Man’s new look is hideous and looks absolutely nothing like it did in the first or second film. His look is also less menacing than the previous ones.
- The film completely takes away the real-world environment the first film has and adds things like time machines, telekinesis and an institute for homicidal baked goods.
- The Gingerdead Man in this movie is neither intimidating nor funny, he's just annoying, doofy, and eats up too much screentime.
- All of the characters are portrayed as nothing more than unlikable and/or poorly developed stereotypes, some of them are knock-offs of characters from other films.
- The voice of the Gingerdead Man is also terrible as Gary Busey doesn’t return to play the character, and the new voice actor, William Butler, sounds nothing like him.
- The fact that the new voice actor for him is also the creator of this film does not help at all.
- The humor is incredibly forced, immature, and most of the time falls flat.
- Literally more than half the film is nothing but pure filler and completely unnecessary to the already barely developed plot of the film.
- The idea of making a scientific research institution for the study of homicidal baked goods is just plain stupid and childish.
- William Butler not only shows terrible skills as a director and writer but also as a voice actor for the Gingerdead Man.
- Extremely bad acting and performances.
- Unlike the first two films where the Gingerdead Man had a reason and goal to kill people, here he just has no reason to kill anyone and just pointlessly kills for the sake of killing.
- All of the elements in this film are beyond ridiculous, such as how they rip off The Silence of the Lambs, Porky’s, and Carrie very terribly, even down to the point where they steal/parody the famous “They’re all gonna laugh at you” quote from 1976 Brian de Palma’s Carrie.
- The film also believes that the Pearl Harbor Attack was caused because World War II sailors were distracted at the time by a performing skater, which is very insulting to all lives that were actually lost in the tragedy!
- On that topic, the film can’t decide whether it’s supposed to be the parody of another movie or be its own kind.
- Many moments in the film are poorly executed and incredibly cringeworthy, even for a horror-comedy’s standards, such as the infamous scene where the Gingerdeadman masturbates on-screen.
- Far too many continuity errors.
- Horribly bad pacing.
- Godawful CGI, especially the shots of the Gingerdead Man moving around and running.
- Errors that are incredibly noticeable:
- One shot shows there's an arcade game of The Simpsons in 1976.
- Another moment shows one of the characters clearly banging on an open door.
- One of the easiest to notice is the fact that the Gingerdead Man is using a plastic gun.
- Adolf Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, Lizzie Borden and Charles Manson, whom are all real-life notorious and evil people, are not only characters in this movie but are also portrayed as good guys in this film and rescue everyone, which is just insulting, unrealistic and insanely idiotic.
Reception
It has a score of 3.7/10 on IMDb as well as a score of 17% on the Popcornmeter based on over 500 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
