Sometimes you see something that challenges your analytical ability, making you wonder if you can do it justice in a review. The last time this happened was Under the Skin, a film I thought was excellent. Now it has happened again with Eldorado (aka Highway to Hell), a film I thought was, well...
...anyone want a coffee, by the way? No? Right, I'll kick it off.
I had no idea what was happening in Eldorado, or how one scene was meant to connect to the others. I grant you, I may be a simpleton. But I'm willing to bet I wasn't the first person to have this problem, given that the film has two layers of voiceover narration, one of…
It should be noted that this movie only exists as a tax scam and that Writer/Director/Producer Richard Driscoll went to jail for three years for fruad because of it.
Anyway moving on, Eldorado is an incomprehensible mess, a hypnotically bad fever dream, a film so bad it's hard to believe it even exists. Just about every major name in this gets a musical number. Have you ever wanted to see Steve Guttenberg dressed as Steve Martin's character in Looney Tunes: Back in Action singing Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man? Jeff Fahey strutting around a trailer in a Hawaiian shirt while singing a reggae version of Groove Me in a Jamaican accent? Brigitte Nielsen singing Aretha Franklin with a bunch…
WHAT THE FUCKKKKK IS HAPPENING TO MY BRAINPAN RIGHT NOW I'M HAVING SCREAMING TERRORS PLEASE GOD HELP MAKE IT STOP THE AGONY IS UNBEARABLE
Starring Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia).
I watched thirty minutes of this ……”movie” so that you don’t have to spend a single second watching it. Do not be seduced by the cast. This is a crime against film and thankfully I can take solace in the fact that the director served jail time for making it.
So many famous faces I couldn't control myself. This a comedy riot. Best film EU. A Richard Driscoll Classic. Can't wait for the next re-edit to be released. 10/10 would watch again. A must see family film of the century. Should be in Criterion Collection.
I have no clue what, how, why this is. I couldn't describe to anyone with a gun to my head.
This somehow has an impressive cast and yet is clearly sometimes filmed in people's living rooms and occasionally edited with imovie home movie filters. The opera sequence is the only thing that makes sense. The set, the star, the aesthetics all gel for about 45 seconds. Then it goes fuck nuts again.
This is about 15 films cut together. I'm sure anyone who is in it knows that they are in it. The only way this makes sense is if it's a scam a'la The Producers, no exaggeration.
Also I think this was the last thing Peter O'Toole filmed and that is a crime.
I am at a loss for words.
i genuinely believe that this is the worst film ever made. i do not say this lightly. this movie was so bad it sent the director/writer/producer/star to jail cause there’s no way this cost as much as they said it did. this movie is a genuine atrocity and honestly needs to be seen to be believed. i’m really worried that they are holding peter o toole hostage. stop what your doing and watch this baffling masterpiece that even tommy wiseau and ed wood would turn off
Ever wanted to see a cross between The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Blues Brothers, starring lots of cult cinema legends?
Well sadly you can't actually see anything.
Lawrence of Arabia narrates.
I did love the non-copyright infringing* homage to Little Green Bag from Reservoir Dogs. And King Rik Mayall's cannibal chef musical number. Half a star for each of those.
*Oh it's infringing alright
En mi top five de las peores películas que he visto en mi vida.
Una historia sin sentido, contada de manera atroz, con los diálogos más ridículos posibles, actuaciones grotescas, parodias de películas sin ninguna gracia o sentido...
No sé cómo convencieron a tantos actores conocidos a salir en este bodrio. Posiblemente los más honestos sean Peter O'Toole, que muestra a las claras su desinterés ante tanto disparate, y Rik Mayall, que al menos hace lo que puede con su chef de carne humana.
Huid.
This gory and sleazy but idiotic British attempt at an all-star cast horror/comedy(with two musical bits) has(the film's director/writer/co-producer) Richard Driscoll(THE COMIC[1985],NECRONOMICOM[2023]) and Darren Morgan portraying two Blue Brothers-esque musicians who find themselves on the run from Las Vegas criminals as they,along with other assorted motley types(who include the likes of Michael Madsen,Patrick Bergin,Oliver Tobias,and Rebecca Linley),find themselves trapped in a small town(as portrayed by CGI graphic) that is owned by its homicidal citizens who include the likes of Sylvester McCoy,Bill Moseley,Jeff Fahey,and Rik Mayall) conduct a 2000 MANIACS-esque cannibal feast upon its arrived guests.
Featuring Steve Guttenberg(as a sleazy agent),Daryl Hannah(as an angelic figure),and narrated by Peter O'Toole(in his fifth-to-last role),ELDORADO is a complete mess of a film that…
