Spark Up That Evil Bong Trailer
Filed under: Comedy, Horror, Independent, Cinematical Indie
A few months back I caught wind of Charles Band's next Oh sure, Mr. Band churned out a bunch of fairly entertaining ultra-schlock a few decades ago, but if his latest productions are any indication, the guy's not even trying anymore. All Band seems to need is a silly title, a stupid concept and some colorful DVD cases, and Boom! he's moving on to the next project. (Those who think I'm being a bit harsh need to sit through a triple feature of Decadent Evil, Doll Graveyard and The Gingerdead Man and then get back to me.) Even those who have a huge soft spot for cheapo horror (like, um, me) will find very little to enjoy over the course of that 3+ hour triple feature. (Yeah, Band's movies are that short.)
So now comes Charles Band's next attempt at cult classic-dom, and it's a Tommy Chong-led horror-comedy called, yes, Evil Bong. The DVD doesn't hit until October 10th, but there's a wacky new trailer to check out, just in case you were wondering how silly this concept will actually look onscreen. Hoo boy. (Yes, I'll see the damn thing, and yes, I'll still give it a fair shake, but c'mon ... EVIL BONG??)
After the jump ... a poem.
There once was a pothead called Chong
Whose career had gone all sorts of wrong
He got thrown in jail
For selling pipes through the mail
So after release he does Evil Bong

I have a soft spot for Charles Band. He directed Meridian: Kiss of the Beast, which was the first movie I ever saw Sherilyn Fenn naked in.

I wonder if this is due to Chong's arrest from selling a bong to some snitch in PA... Total entrapment, but par for the DEA course... Anyway, bongs are scary!
Next stop: Bongs on a Plane!
Oh, that's really tired by now, isn't it?

What's best about the trailer is that - unless they just threw in stock footage - someone gets attacked by the Gingerdead Man! And maybe even some Demonic Toys.
Could this be the Charles Band movie to end all Charles Band movies!?
Answer; no.*
*But I'll be seeing it and reviewing it, because that is the burden we bare, Scott.

The evil bong that makes directors produce Uwe Boll level quality films.

Chances of this movie being good? Slim to none, but sitting in a theater full of people at the recent Flashback Weekend watching the trailer with Charles Band on stage made it somehow hilarious.
Maybe it's the fact that in person he revels in the cheese, but he made me want to see Evil Bong, and his road show, that much more.

Someone I knew at college had one like that! It was made out of PVC, the legendary death bong...sheesh, you can send 'em to college but sometimes they'll go out as dumb as they went in. I wonder if Band tried to get any DEA money...isn't there some way that producers can get grants for making anti-drug movies?
