Review:
The plot is loosely based on the famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, but is probably best described as The Nutty Professor with Class-A drugs: while carrying out research into harnessing the power of man's animal instincts for survival, Dr. Jeckyll accidentally snorts one of his experimental powders and transforms into wild-haired sex-machine Hyde, packing a big bulge in his pants, a hairy chest, a coke nail, a gold tooth and tacky jewellery. Thereon, it's total madness, as Hyde gets it on with hookersongstress Ivy, regretting his actions when he reverts back to Jeckyll, but continuing to snort his powder even though it might cost his career and his relationship (a madcap comedy about drug addiction - don't get many of those!).
The un-PC humour might not suit everyone (there's gay and racial stereotypes, a bestiality gag, and sexist quips aplenty), but with punks in Devo hats, random dwarfs, a testicle donor ($1m for the pair), Elvira's nipple, chicken sushi, a non-stop train service from L.A. to London, a foggy street called Foggy Street, an impromptu musical number with.three backing singers, a black and white rooftop chase, and a final shot of Robert Louis Stevenson literally spinning in his grave, this one's just too silly to get upset about.
710. Much more enjoyable than I thought it would be.
