ThiefHott Too much of everything
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
oscar-35 I can usually watch anything and I have often enjoyed films that most people agree really stank. BUT this is a major change in my film enjoyment. This film is not only bad, but BORING too! IT STINKS.... On the box, there are 4 stars awarded to this show saying, "One of the BEST drive-in movie of 1989. Check it out twice!" by Joe Bobb Briggs of Host of Drive-In Theater on the Movie Channel. The box also says, "In the grand tradition of Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" comes this sci-fi comedy guaranteed to provide light-years of laughs. Things are fairly dull for the crew of the space research vessel the USS BOunty until Max (Kyle T. Heffner of 'Flashdance' 'Young Doctors in Love' and 'Women in Red', a stranded musician in space, is accidentally mutilated when he is beamed aboard. He's soon followed by two additional strangers who have been following Max across the universe, but aren't saying why. The journey is long, the crew is crazy, and you'l laugh until your out of control." BEWARE: This is a complete load of steaming bull!@#$. It is not anything like a Brooks film...the film is too long, the plot makes little sense, and I didn't even smile through this one. Give film to someone you dislike.
Brett_Buck There's bad, and there's bad. "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is bad but at least it's so consistently awful that it's entertaining in a slow-motion-train-wreck sort of way. "Mutant" is bad and exceptionally boring to boot. I've seen better writing and acting in old Ultraman episodes. Absolutely dreadful.
Scott Andrew Hutchins Flush a guy down the toilet? That's really funny. (Yeah, right!) This film starts out looking serious, despite its title, with nice production design. Idiotically, a jazz musician gets a phone receiver pulled through his face, which is enough to give the overweight but otherwise in good health captain a fatal heart attack (This is supposed to be funny?) The scarred-up guy is hunted down, has sex in the shower with one of the crew, and deals with a transsexually-minded android who likes to put on women's clothing. As wild as that might sound, it is bogged down in tedium, and succeeds neither as a comedy or as science fiction.
emm Reviving B-movies is one thing, and unfortunately, MUTANT ON THE BOUNTY doesn't fit well in the modern, contemporary year of 1989 when movies were made to really attract viewers' tastes. This would have been a fairly decent film thirty years prior to this release, without the lame jokes and terrible acting performances. Even the sets are poorly designed, too! Who on Earth would let the actors wear their original garments in a spaceship anyway? It's also unbelievable that I counted 13 "F" words spoken, making it the highest number for a movie rated PG-13 by the M.P.A.A.! Here is yet another lame-brained comedy that gets tossed out of the window. Ranks right up there with LEONARD, PART 6!
