Banned in Britain #28
Favorite Movie Quote: "Name's Buck and I'm rarin' to f*ck."
This video nastie is not Robert Englund's first film, but it is close. He is a young buck, named Buck, that jumps on anything he can.
It is director Tobe Hooper's third film, done right after Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He gives us something weird, yet compelling. It was initially banned in Britain, where it went under the name Death Trap (there are a lot of other names). It was released there in 2000 with no cuts.
I imagine they initially objected to the death of Snoopy. It was painful for me to watch also, Funny how you can watch a crocodile/alligator chomp down on a human, but to see a cute little dog in it's jaws can be disturbing.
Neville Brand was Judd, the owner of the Starlight Motel. I really never could figure out his problem. He just went around babbling all the time, making absolutely no sense, and throwing people to the croc.
Oscar-nominee Stuart Whitman was the sheriff; and William Finley, who we will see again in Hooper's Funhouse, was a strange man that was given to delusions and barking.
Fortunately, all those who gave us a view of their chest treasures managed to avoid the croc. Too bad for Snoopy, but I was thankful for that.
