Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

HeadlinesExotic Boring

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Flexholly The year 2000 might have avoided the Y2K virus, but it got something much worse: Backyard Dogs, which was one of many attempts in the late- 90s/early-2000s of people trying to cash in on the fad known as "backyard wrestling." I had heard of this movie many years ago, and I heard how awful it is, and I was looking through Netflix's wrestling category and saw this movie was streaming so I decided to watch. If you like really terrible, low budget movies and also like pro wrestling I say watch it and see how bad it is for yourself, but other than that don't waste your time. If you really want to see what backyard wrestling was all about back then, see the documentary "The Backyard," which shows actual kids running their own promotions, and is funnier than whatever this was trying to be.

cfanning_tempe I saw this movie on sale for a buck and figured it was just a bunch of clips from backyard wrestling. You know, something funny to show at parties and goof on. But to my dismay it's an actual film about a couple of guys who want to become legendary wrestlers by working their way through the backyard circuit.... a fake circuit that receives no attention from actual wrestling promotions throughout the world. Despite the fact that this movie was written by a total mark who has no real understanding or appreciation from the business of wrestling, and despite the fact that they throw in this ridiculous love triangle side plot, and despite the fact that the biggest star in the movie is only known for being the black Power Ranger, the most ridiculous part of this movie is that they actually make it last for an hour and a half. The producers ignore the fact that all wrestling is staged and there is no place for shoot fighting in professional wrestling. They pretend that there is an actual grudge match happening in this film. Why do they ignore what is so genius about wrestling and attempt to mix it with mixed martial arts type fighting. The Backyard Dogs get their name when their manager steps in a pile of dogshit.... I think that's pretty appropriate considering the quality of this script, the acting and the production.

netzombie63 Bob Boris came up with a challenging movie based on Kids going to town to town and wrestling unknown people and the places the ring was. The other challenge was that there were a lot of speaking role of which most of them where actors. SO to do the movie we had to have them join SAG as there are very few people that are Actors that know AA little about wrestling. Another problem we ran into is that the script takes place in a deferent location almost every night. The Director and the co- Producer were at constant odds with each other to make the Director's vision for very little money. From what I was told they shot this movie on various consumer as well as pro-sumer video cameras. This was shot on cameras that were not HD so the initial quality isn't great. This was all done before it was technically possible to have the video look like film. They got a top Lab Engineer at Fotokem Labs in Burbank to oversee the transfer from video to film at the end of the process. Everyone was very happy with the result. I think the film has a very interesting look because of that. When it comes to the acting it wasn't easy as they had people that had not been in a movie before, wrestling pros (including one from Japan that didn't speak English) and Actors who had never wrestled before. The nail talent had to go to school for a week ( all the budget could afford) to train really hard to become the best wrestlers we could afford. I can't tell you what the budget was on this movie but it was well under $XXX,.xxx.00! All the money went into the movie including the cool having on board an Editor who had to help solve many problems that arose making this 1st low budget video2film entertainment. They should have turned this around and made this an MTV TV series. It would be a lot of fun!

flamable221 I just watched this movie to see how it compares to "Manos".... This movie was he scariest movie I've ever seen, it made me slit my wrists, the movie had so many SH*TTY moments that it makes you want to end your life. This movie also made me laugh, I laughed while i was on my couch with my wrists bleeding going "yes the pain will be over soon". I cried when the movie started, I was crying because My eyes were being raped by the scary images that this movie made. I was also crying because this was the only thing on TV, and i couldn't find this remote, and it was edited for TV, if your going to make a movie that is as bad as this, you should not edit it for TV, you should let America see this movie to know how many dumb people actually live in LA
