Is it weird that I have never seen this before? Either way, I bought it for $5 from Amazon on blu ray. Fingers crossed that I enjoy this.
The opening song is fantastic. The teens are all at this make-out point type place, and here’s the ice cream truck. The 2 guys in the ice cream have picked up 2 bigger gals and gave them all the ice cream that they wanted, but they ain’t putting out. The teens see a flying comet, and some old coot sees it and it lands on his property, and he is pumped, and he’s telling his hound dog that he’s gonna be rich. He goes and checks it out and there’s a big circus tent set up in the middle of the woods. Fair ’nuff. Farmer Gene walks on and his dog, Pooh Bear, gets captured by a clown with a net. Now Gene is mad. He electrocutes himself a bit on the ship. Then he sees a clown, it laughs and then uses some beam on him.
2 guys get brought into the police station for drinking. Dave is the young cop and Curt is the old guy and Curt is being a total hardass and Paul doesn’t like it. Mike and Deb, 2 of the young people making out find the tent. They go inside the tent and Mike is trying to be funny. Mike opens a door by pushing buttons. She acts like he tripped while standing still, I shit you not. Mike wonders if this is a nuclear power plant, a missile silo, and some other really dumb things. The next room is what Mike rationalizes is a cotton candy machine room. It looks like pink cocoons. And it is. A Klown comes in and hangs another cocoon. They go to make their escape, and the Klown grabs his popcorn popper gun. The Klowns are aliens and this may be one of the most ingenious things ever, and as I typed that, one Klown made a balloon animal dog that then comes to life and acts as their hunting dog. Mike runs over the poor dog. 5 Klowns take off walking to Crescent Cove.
Mike and Debbie go to the police and tell Dave about the cocoons and the Klowns. Mooney overhears this conversation and says “Killer Klowns From Outer Space………holy shit!” Oh man, I love Mooney. Mooney mocks them, Dave is going to check it out.
Some dude sees a puppet show and just watches. He is entertained. The one puppet shoots the other with the ray gun, and the guy laughs. The Klown comes up and shoots him and vaporizes him. It was great. One Klown is a drug store and has 2 cocoons in there and is just knocking shit over and the owner is a spineless bitch.
80’s hot chick opens a door, with a see-through nightgown, so pair of boobs, and, and the Klowns have pizza boxes. They shoot her. This middle-aged lady opens the door to a heart-shaped something, a box of chocolates, she gets it. Debbie brought home. Dave and Debbie used to date. The drug store stuff is classic. Mike and Dave go to where the tent was, and there’s a big crater. Dave is pissed, so time to arrest him.
Holy shit, sweet 80’s biker gang hanging out in an alley. A Klown pulls up his tricycle. You can imagine how these bullies are. This one dude breaks the bike. The Klown jumps in the air, comes back wearing boxing gloves. He uppercut the biker’s head off. That was some Mike Tyson shit. At Big Top Burger, this little girl plays peekaboo with a Klown and he lures her over., and he has a big ass mallet behind his back. Her mom wants her to finish her food. Damnit.
Dave is investigating where all the teens were, but nobody is there. He finds a jeep that was cotton candy cocooned and a pair of busted glasses. Mike says that is the cocoon material and jumps to conclusions that his buddy is dead. Mooney gets a bunch of calls and he dismisses them all. Oh lord, a Klown is driving an imaginary vehicle, races, and bumps a guy who was driving into a fiery crash. Kudos.
Debbie strips for a bath, no tits, and we see the excess popcorn on the floor and the popcorn moves by itself. A Klown is putting some popcorn in the Big Top Burger dumpster. An employee tosses out 2 bags of garbage, hears noises, he checks and gets dragged into the dumpster. Old people are at a bus stop, and a Klown shows up. Old lady is pleased, he does some shadow puppets. He did a bunny, then an elephant, then a bunch of soldiers, then a dancing lady. Dave and Mike show up, and Mike wants to shoot him. Klown does a shadow T-Rex and eats them, and puts the “bodies” into the bag of popcorn. Mike tries to run over the Klown, but the Klown jumps away. Dave calls Mooney, and Mooney says Fuck You.
Mike sees the Ice Cream Truck dudes running to get their truck, so Mike goes to get them. The brothers are Rick and Paul. He needs them to drive him to Debbie’s. The brothers are fabulous. Mooney responding to all the phones ringing “Frig you alls!!”. A Klown comes to see Mooney. Mooney is amused. Mooney has a big cigar in his mouth. The Klown squirts him with flowers. Mooney is livid. Mooney handcuffs the Klown, but then his hands come off. The Klown taunts Mooney, and Mooney has him get in the cell with the 2 earlier degenerates. The Klown blows into one of those things that unroll at kid’s parties. Well, that gets blown out, grabs Mooney by the throat and knocks his head against the cell.
Dave comes to the station, and there are greats red clown footprints. This brings him to the cell area, and the prints are all over, even on the walls, there’s a cocoon in the cell. He checks the cocoons. He goes back out to the office and the Klown is there using Mooney as a dummy on his lap, with makeup. Fucking great. Dave fires his gun as the Klown gets closer, he eventually shoots the nose and causes it to spin in a green diamond and explode. Dave calls in for back up help.
The brothers are mocking mike for this lame Klown story. They turn down a street, and there are at least 5 Klowns marching with this vacuum to suck up the various cocoons on the street. Oh man.
Debbie has mismatched earrings and is getting attacked by a bunch of odd baby Klowns. Klowns are at every exit of the house. One breaks in and lifts her up. She is doing the scream. She gets put in a yellow see-through cocoon, which has red spots. How interesting. The guys make it there as the Klowns drive off. Now it’s a high-speed chase. Dave sees this show now he is participating. The brothers stop, causing Dave to rear-end them. Dumbasses. Time to travel to the amusement park.
The Klowns show up and the security guy asks them to leave, but they keep piling out of the car, as Klowns do. There’s 5 and they all have pies and they pelt him with like 20, so he falls to the ground, and little clown adds a giant novelty cherry on top for laughs. The guys show up, and the pies dissolved the security guard. The guys go into the tent and search around. Lots of theories about the Klowns.
One of the brothers sees a button and naturally pushes it, which causes some smoke to come up. The 2 brothers just got put in a pit of balls. There are 2 female Klowns to appear. Dave and Mike don’t even worry about the brothers disappearing. Mike finally recognizes the place and they find the cocoon area. They are looking for Debbie. Fuck everybody else. Fat Klown comes into the room and they try to hide. Fat Klown puts a crazy straw into the cocoon and is drinking some red fluid from it. Nice. The Klown leaves and they find the Debbie cocoon, so Dave has to shoot it to pop it. That was a good way to draw attention. The Klowns are hunting them. Dave kills one. Now they have to slide down a pole in hopes of escaping. This is like a big funhouse. They have to open a comical series of 4 doors. The Klowns have their dog.
They are now in another huge room, and they are surrounded by 15 Klowns. this is like the fight in Anchorman. So they climb up and the Klowns climb. Just in time, the ice cream truck comes flying in. They use their clown loudspeaker to distract the Klowns. Now the truck won’t start. A Klown lowers from the ceiling. Oh boy. He’s a big boy. The big boy comes to the truck, and the brothers refuse to leave it. This clown is about 12-15 feet tall, just tossed the truck and caused a big explosion. Brothers are probably dead. Dave is going to draw the attention while Mike and Debbie run away. The tent support lines outside are coming up. Dave gets picked up by the big boy. The tent is spinning like a big top. The cops are just showing up. It’s like a giant glowing dreidel. Dave used his badge to bop the big boy in the nose, kill it, cause a huge explosion and Klown car to drop from the sky with the brothers and Dave. Pies fall from the sky.
End film
This was so much fun. This was a horror-comedy done right. It was cheesy but funny as hell. It had some sweet kills, lots of fun visuals. Mooney stole the show. I truly enjoyed just about everything about this. I will definitely re-watch this down the road and laugh with girlish glee. Highly recommended for a movie to watch with friends.
