This movie should've won an academy award for BEST picture. The performances were outstanding, the effects were great and the story was amazingly done. I highly recommend this movie to any kid who's had Garbage Pail Kids cards. The plot was outstanding and it was well acted. Valerie Vomit was amazing in this film. I wish they would bring this back to theatres once again. Best movie ever made.

2 good points to this movie.1.The movie poster was well done fantasy art. 2. The end title song kicked behind.
They were originally conceived as a parody of the Cabbage Patch Kids. They were collectible cards and stickers with gross gags and punny names. ...and natch, kids loved that. It was that simple.
I actually still have 1 Garbage Pail Card/Sticker...Grim Jim. It belonged to my little sister; when she passed away, I was going through her things and found it. She got her love of the odd from yours truly...neither of us cared much for this film, though lol R.I.P. Misty Nicole ❤
Yeeeees I was one of the people who suggested this movie!! 😄 I'm impressed you tried so hard to find some deeper meaning to it 😂 So Garbage Pail Kids was a line of trading cards that parodied the Cabbage Patch Kids doll craze that was going on at the time. There were 100s of gross-out characters, all with names that were similar to what was portrayed here. The characters in the movie were actual characters from the cards but otherwise there was no established lore or story, kids just loved the cards because they were gross (parents and teachers hated them tho, and tried hard to ban them from schoolyards). The movie was just a cash grab, and there was a short-lived animated series (a US/Canadian coproduction) but never shown in the US because of the controversy. Thanks for this reaction and review, it was fun watching you try to make sense of it all 😂 😂 😂
They were basically disgustingly cute trading cards, but I don't think they ever released a CCG version of them. They were kinda like baseball cards with a different character portrait on the front, and a little backstory on the back of the card. Pet Rocks, Chia Pets, Tomagotchi (I think they're called), Pogs, Beanie Babies, Trolls, Furbies, Mr Bucket, all kinds of weird things kids collected in the 90s.
LOL Topps corporation were the ones that made the card packs (with 4-5 cards inside and a piece of gum). Another famous collector's card/gum company was Fleer. The Garbage Pail Kids were gross-out parody versions of the Cabbage Patch Kids doll craze of the '80s. They were also stickers, so you could peel them off the backing and decorate your school notebooks or whatever.
Garbage Pail Kids were trading cards, no game involved, pack of cards came with 5 cards, 1 sticker, and a stick of gum. They were made just to make fun of the cuteness of Cabbage Patch Kids. Sort of like they looked at a Cabbage Patch Kid and thought they're so cute it's sickening, and the idea for Garbage Pail Kids was born. Edit: All the GPK characters were actual cards that you could collect. Last I knew there were over 15 series of cards, And they now have a Funko Pop line. There was a 1 season short cartoon that was canceled after 1 or 2 episodes because it was deemed to gross for kids.
I found out that the actors that played Dodger and Tangerine actually dated and broke up when this movie was halfway done. Turns out she was only a year older than him. He was 14 and she was 15. Which is even more disturbing with the way they portrayed her character. Especially when she was 13 to 14 when this abomination was being filmed. 😖🤢
The game was "hide these cards from your parents and teachers while attempting to collect them all from the ice cream truck". A direct response to the Cabbage Patch Kids, these were the gross out parody version. Plus each pack came with gum. Bonus. There's no real deep meanings to be found here, just Hollywood trying to cash in on a fad. ;)
Some company actually put out a Garbage Pail Kids cereal! I couldn't imagine eating this for breakfast while looking at those gross out pictures on the box!
Fun Fact: The actor who plays Dodger is Mackenzie Astin, son of actors John Astin(The Addams Family) and Patty Duke(The Patty Duke Show), and the younger brother of Sean Astin(The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings). Mackenzie also appeared on the 80s TV show, The Facts of Life.
Yes! The ultimate bad movie! The Garbage Pail Kids collectable cards was indeed a parody of The Cabbage Patch Kids toy line. The cards were very successful with kids. I'm sure that you can find many videos on the subject. Fun Fact: Mackenzie Astin (brother of Sean Astin) auditioned and signed onto the movie without telling his father, legendary actor John Astin. When he was informed and given the script by his son, John thought the script was so bad he looked into getting Mackenzie out of the film. Thankfully, MacKenzie has had a very successful career and is still acting to this very day.
I collected the cards as a kid, just because they were so off-color. I remember watching this movie at my buddy's house, and we both were like, "What is this s***?"
Garbage Pail Kids were part of the gross-out pop culture trend that was popular among pre-teens in the 1980s, Jen, along with Truly Tasteless Jokes books. lol 😂 Did I not tell you that the 80s were a golden era? 😆
The Garbage Pail Kids weren't a card game, like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, or Dungeons and Dragons, Jen. They're just meant to be funny and disgusting, and a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls from the 80s. lol 😆 Each kid has some humorous deformity, abnormality, or suffers some terrible fate. They were banned in many schools because teachers considered them a distraction. lol 😂
Agreed they were but a boy in my class when I was 7 in1991 had the cards he got them from a family member and his friends use to keep lookout for any teachers from pawtucket ri 🙃
_Garbage Pail Kids_ is one of only two movies based on TOPPS trading cards, the other being Tim Burton's _Mars Attacks!_ which was much better and more successful. It was just announced 3 days ago that an animated series of _GPK_ is coming to HBO Max.
Personally, I look back on my childhood when I used to watch this movie and I think it hit for me because the cards where such a big thing and all the parents thought they were gross, which made them all the more awesome when we got them! And it was also a much more adult oriented than most other kids movies at the time and since my mom never cared to watch it me and my friends got away with watching it! So it was kinda getting away with something to have the cards and watch this movie growing up
Hey Jen! In Mystery Men (one of my fav movies) It's not the Sphincter it's the Spleen! The Spleen was played by Paul Ruebens ( Pee Wee Herman). Now there was the Sphinx in that movie. You must be like the wolfpack not the sixpack!
Mystery Men is one of my favorite movies! And it looks like you’re mixing up two characters: the Sphinx, who was terribly mysterious, and the Spleen, who was cursed with terrible flatulence.
Yes! The spleen! That’s it! I haven’t watched it in too long but I remember his skills! Oh and that part where they have auditions, “I’m pencil head! And I’m son of pencil head! We erase crime!” Haha
I should have known if you were willing to tackle Killer Tomatoes, this would have come up eventually. Topps was the maker of trading cards back in the day. You got a stick of gum in most packs of cards (dam that was a stiff stale piece of gum). I believe these people were a very messed up parody to Cabbage Patch Kids which of course were popular dolls in those days.
I turned 10 in 1985, so guess I was around the age that the dolls were marketed to. But I thought they were UGLY, and never asked my mother for any of them. I got a My Child doll, cute period.
Haha! Was it worse gum than Big League Chew? That stuff broke your teeth lol yeah that was the impression I got for sure, trying to capitalize on the success of Cabbage Patch Kids. Thanks for watching!
You said a pet peeve for you is "not locking doors in movies"...one of mine is no screens on windows usually! Maybe it's a regional thing, but bugs, especially mosquitoes, are a problem if you don't have window screens.
Mackenzie Astin was hoping this would be a great career move, his first feature film lead, after playing the kid on "The Facts Of Life" tv show for a couple years. I don't recall seeing him star in anything else, ever.
I was a huge collector of GPK as a kid, and even I couldn´t stand this film. I help run a Bad Movie Festival in Spain. If you ever need titles to suffer through, let me know! PS: Your confusion is hilarious!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen As far as this film is concerned, the answer is mainly "cos it sucks". I´ve had a look at all your past reactions, and it´s crazy how many of the people behind them I´ve now met and/or have actually become friends with through the festival! You seem to have got through most of the big names in bad films. I´ve been digging deeper of late, and, if you dare, Alien Beasts and Fun in Balloonland are certainly among the worst I´ve ever witnessed. I actually have a less than stellar reputation among the Festival fans for even making it through Balloonland. Most disturbing kids´ film ever.
What...?? How did they rope Anthony Newley (Captain Manzini) into this? Half the kids look like Tattoo from Fantasy Island. I don't think I've seen so many 1/10 scores on imdb. I think it's safe to say Jen, that this movie meets your bad movie criteria hands down!
My hero, Jim Cummings! Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Black Pete, Razoul from Aladdin, Doctor Robotnik, the Tasmanian Devil, Cat, Zummi Gummi, Afterburner, Ray the Firefly, Don Karnage, the Shocker, Lord Boxman, .... ..... Greaser Gregg. :(
I had a few cards when I was in the 7th grade back then 😅 My friend who is the same age as me, she has a good sized collection of GPK cards in a photo album to this day 🙂 The actress who played Tangerine and McKenzie Astin (Dodger) were the same age when this was filmed, age 14 I think? I joke and say this movie was so bad that the actress who played Tangerine had to move to Mexico where she became a famous daytime soap opera star 😂 She's bilingual and famous in Mexico 🙂👍
The garbage Pail Kids set out to be the offset of the Cabbage Patch Kids who were in turn cutesy and cuddly, so I can see how some didn't click with this. I remember collecting the cards and you would get a stick of gum in the packet. The film wasn't brilliant but it's not the worst film ever, just popcorn fun, with a good message and that is just because you are different doesn't mean you are a bad person, it's a general message to all, where these days people prefer more durected or specific messages in films these days, so again I can see how people these day don't like it.
When these cards released in the 80s, you would find them in stores next to Tops sports card packs and anytime I ended up in a store that had the GPK cards I'd get my parents buy me some. They had absolutely no value or use outside of wanting the whole card collection...
Interesting, I wish they had powers or something lol seems like collecting sports cards where you collect them just to have them or because you like a player / character.
Another suggestion for you, Jen. 1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, with Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, and Christopher Lloyd. It's not necessarily a bad movie, as it has a respectable 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is a cult classic, but it was a box office flop when it hit theaters. It's right up there with Lifeforce as one of the most bizarre and unabashedly 80s movies of the 1980s. lol If you create more watchlist categories, this would be a good addition.
The kids were just the most awful things the artists could create and slap on a trading card which, hard as it is to believe, were very popular. Right alongside baseball cards there were the Garbage Pail Kids cards, gum and all. Why anyone thought they could make a movie out of this I do not know. Although in some ways they were pioneers. Nobody can say a film based on emojis was a good idea. They were right of course as it sucked but it's no more ridiculous than taking the most hideous creatures ever committed to print and forming a film around them.
It was not a card game just collectible cards there are hundreds of original 80s characters and these were not the best ones by any means. Nasty Nick and Adam Bomb are the top characters and they aren’t even in the movie. I’m watching this movie as we speak with my daughter it’s sooo bad I haven’t seen it since the 80s
It's pun intended with the words to the character on cards It wasn't a game it's just cards that looked what the words imply and that's it from Topps Chewing Gum component low they do with baseball cards. Movie is because they are popular cards and movie is cash grab. Some guy out there hada garage filled with these cards as a collector.
Like you Jen, I love bad movies but this is one of the few I really hate. I 've just never understood it's appeal, even as a must watch bad flick. Troll 2, The Room, Birdemic, etc all have something to entertain in one way or another, this is just so boring. At least you've done it now so we can all move on, Lol.
I hope you continue to watch all kinds of bad movies and not just do bad sci-fi movies, Jen, because I've recommended several of the films of Andy Sidaris and Jim Wynorski that I'd love to see your reactions to, and they're not all sci-fi stuff. lol
I really only have one question: How the hell did they pitch this movie to convince somebody to actually invest money into making it, and who was the idiot who wrote this shit? Okay, TWO questions, I just have too many questions about the making of this movie....
If you're looking for a really terrible movie, then I suggest Never Too Young to Die. It's got John Stamos and Gene Simmons, who plays a hermaphroditic terrorist hell bent on poisoning the water supply. It's epic...
Yeah its funny I was watching Captain America first avenger on tv got done with that now I'm watching overlord on fx both occurs in ww2. Both got people jumping from planes while being shot at lol. Crazy thought but duh they happen at same time period lol
the cards were just cards to collect..no game i have two of this card i want one of those cards you have two off. thats is, not like pokemon or anything else
@@ReelReviewsWithJen yes it was the 80's we had nothing else no internet 3 channels on uk tv.. . footballer cards i collected them hated football, but loved the trading.. this rare for that rare..
I had a good majority of the cards but I think I've thrown them away now - haven't seen them in at least 15 years. I was the one that said I turned it off after about 5 mins of the movie. You certainly are a brave soul for watching all these bad movies. I haven't checked your catalog but The Langoliers is, in my opinion, the worst Stephen King movie out there. I still watch it over and over but the acting is not great and the CGI is bad.
This is horribly funny lol. Heard of this before definitely the cards and I think they dud do dolls lol back in day . they've Bern doing funky pops for them lately lol. I know I've seem reactions to this before lol
Terrible but watchable movie watch the comedy classic little monsters it's a great 80s movie originally this movie was going to be a horror movie but was changed into a kids movie 😊

I hope you continue to watch all kinds of bad movies and not just do bad sci-fi movies, Jen, because I've recommended several of the films of Andy Sidaris and Jim Wynorski that I'd love to see your reactions to, and they're not all sci-fi stuff. lol
I really only have one question:
How the hell did they pitch this movie to convince somebody to actually invest money into making it, and who was the idiot who wrote this shit? Okay, TWO questions, I just have too many questions about the making of this movie....
If you're looking for a really terrible movie, then I suggest Never Too Young to Die. It's got John Stamos and Gene Simmons, who plays a hermaphroditic terrorist hell bent on poisoning the water supply. It's epic...
NOTHING is worse than Gymkata.
Yeah its funny I was watching Captain America first avenger on tv got done with that now I'm watching overlord on fx both occurs in ww2. Both got people jumping from planes while being shot at lol. Crazy thought but duh they happen at same time period lol
Three things you should never base movies on: toys, video games, and trading cards.
Probably great advice lol
The cards were collectable cards. All the characters were dirty rhymed names. No point to it, just insulting common names.
Yeah I was really hoping they had powers or something cool. Thanks for watching!
im surprised this Rated PG
Agreed should have been rated r🤗
@@mikesilva3868 There making a kids movie why would it be R rated what's so r rated about it
I’m surprised it was about a kids game! I can only imagine the kid wanting to be Greasy Greg when he grows up asking his parents for a 🔪😬😬😬
@@mikebarratt4802 it would be now 🙃
@@mikesilva3868That's because everthing has gone so pc PG films where different 30 40 years ago
the cards were just cards to collect..no game i have two of this card i want one of those cards you have two off. thats is, not like pokemon or anything else
So like sports cards? You just collected them? That seems way less fun lol I was secretly hoping they had powers or something
@@ReelReviewsWithJen yes it was the 80's we had nothing else no internet 3 channels on uk tv.. . footballer cards i collected them hated football, but loved the trading.. this rare for that rare..
fun weird movie...lol
weird yes, fun? no
Agreed pinkie😊
Thanks for watching!
Like subscribed and commented.
Thank you thank you and thank you!
Ouch This one is a bad film. Never saw it till now and glad it was an edited highlights
Yeah I think it’s best viewed in a condensed format lol thanks for watching!
I had a good majority of the cards but I think I've thrown them away now - haven't seen them in at least 15 years. I was the one that said I turned it off after about 5 mins of the movie. You certainly are a brave soul for watching all these bad movies.
I haven't checked your catalog but The Langoliers is, in my opinion, the worst Stephen King movie out there. I still watch it over and over but the acting is not great and the CGI is bad.
I had 100s of these cards, I loved them. I was so excited to see thr film as a kid....and then I did, and my god it was awful.
Yeah I can imagine it would be disappointing if you were a fan of the cards :/ thanks for watching!
This is horribly funny lol. Heard of this before definitely the cards and I think they dud do dolls lol back in day . they've Bern doing funky pops for them lately lol. I know I've seem reactions to this before lol
there is a special hell for whoever made this, this is the WORST horror film of all time
Not a horror film it's more of a ranchy comedy
Terrible but watchable movie watch the comedy classic little monsters it's a great 80s movie originally this movie was going to be a horror movie but was changed into a kids movie 😊
Oh that sounds like a mess lol I’ll add it to the list!
@@ReelReviewsWithJen 😊
Too Much Sexual Stuff in this Movie
Every aspect of this movie is pure ass.
This movie was so unbelievably bad that they pulled it from the theaters in the first week.
I’m surprised it lasted a week! Thanks for watching 🎬
