My friend and I once flipped to HBO to find Nothing But Trouble playing. I think we vegged in front of it for about 40 minutes before shutting off the TV.
For months after, we talked about how there was something about that movie that made us physically ill. I'm not exaggerating, either, we felt sick, and we called it a night right then and there. I've never experienced anything quite like it with any other movie.
I forgot about this one.
Yes, it made me physically Ill as well, and Tupac/Digital Underground couldn't save this movie eve though they had a cameo in the beginning. I've loved everything Ackroyd did until this horrid movie. I was trying to think of the title when I was making my original post but I thought it was just a bad dream.
"The film's working title was Valkenvania and it was promoted under this title in a December 1990 Starlog article.
According to one biography, Chase "knew that the film was going to be the worst film he would ever make", but because of his friendship with Aykroyd, he accepted the role of Chris Thorne. Reflecting on the film some years later, it was noted as an "unfortunate turning point" in Aykroyd's career that, as the director, writer and star, left "only (Aykroyd) to blame for the film's spectacular failure".
At first I didn't know what you two were talking about.
I SAW THIS IN THE THEATER.
I couldn't even watch the entire thing.
My friends and I rarely left the movies (we paid, after all)...
But this, and Harry and the Hendersons... we walked out of those.
I can't actually remember anything about Harry and the Hendersons, so I reserve judgement until I can see it again.
WHAT IS SAD is that now I have a morbid desire to watch both Nothing But Trouble and Harry and the Hendersons, DOUBLE FEATURE.
I am serious.
OH GOD, the Coneheads movie was atrocious. Horrible.
