Evil Bong 2: King Bong – DVD Review
The Film:
Evil Bong 2: King Bong is the sequel to Evil Bong, and having not seen the first film, I think its safe to assume that it was as bad the sequel, for the beginning of Evil Bong 2 shows a “re-cap” of “key” scenes from the original. The original looked like it may have had some cool scenes, nice tits in it, and Tommy Chong. What more would one want? Oh yeah, a plot. I don’t know how solid that plot was, but thank God Charles Band made a sequel for us all to get high too!
The characters of the first film are back, Brett (Brian Lloyd), Luann (Robin Sydney), Bachmann (Mitch Eakins), Allistair (Brett Chuckerman), Larnell (John Patrick Jordan), and they are battling the effects of the “evil bong”, as Bachman has memory loss and is narcoleptic, Larnell is as big as a Goodyear Blimp, and Larnell is paranoid and tweaking out all the time. Aren’t these just traits that are gained when one smokes pot all the time? I guess not.
So our group of pothead idiots jump on a plane after quizzing a delivery service guy about where the evil bong was delivered from. They jump on a plane and go in search for the origins of the bong, and how to solve their problems. Along the way they run into a scientist and her partner, get some food, and drag her into the quest to fix all their problems caused by this bong. They run into Larnell’s grandfather and the plot thickens like a dark cloud of marijuana smoke exhaled after a major toke! The film’s plot and quality of production seems quite on par with SyFy network films, and is intellectually as stimulating as the direct-to-video T&A flicks that are repeatedly played late-nights on Comedy Central. This film was barely tolerable to watch sober, and I imagine if I was sitting around with my buddies pulling bongs this would be the greatest film ever, for it crude humor, sexual innuendos, and pot-influenced lyrically assaulting barrage of reggae, rasta, and Mary Jane tunes this film would be quite a hoot.
Some of the classic lines of dialogue, such as “Dude- you gave me a black eye with your boner!” or the bong that is incessantly chatting her ghetto slang every time it comes in contact with a whiff of cannabis sativa. In one scene, the group is eating what looks to be Spaghetti O’s out of wooden bowls, an exotic meal out in the middle of the jungle??? The Poon-Tang tribe did give the guys a bit of eye-candy, running around half-naked and sporting Tarzan jungle garb. The group of potheads and mess-ups find out that the Poon-Tang tribe is involved in the guys figuring out a way out of their dilemmas. The fact that the film tries to integrate a plot amongst all this nonsense blows my mind. One can only enjoy this film if they have lost all abilities to think or have a clue what a decent movie looks like.
Once the group encounters the bigger and badder bong, King Bong, the film really gets better, and by better I mean that there is more vulgar half-witted jokes, one-liners, and a voice coming from the bong that sounds like a dirty and foul-mouthed comedian that lacks a sense of humor. I really could not wait for this mess to be done and over-with.
The DVD:
Audio/Video: The sound on the DVD was really good. It was extremely crisp and clear, about the only thing that was clear in this film because the plot was pretty foggy. The sound was excellent and had very high production values. Go figure.
King Bong: Behind the Scenes: Footage of what the title suggests: behind the scenes. This portion takes you through with some of the cast getting make-up done, clowning around, and childish antics, all footage on par with the theme of the movie. Footage of the actors and actresses talking about their characters and parts of the film. It includes Amy Paffrath, Mitch Eakins, Brett Chuckerman, John Patrick Jordan, Brian Lloyd, Jacob Whitkin, and Sonny Davis. It is about 12 ½ minutes long.
Stan Lee Interview: I have no idea why there is an interview with Stan Lee that is conducted by William Shatner. It is a great interview and I love Stan Lee and William Shatner, so this was a plus for me. Lee talks about the origins of comic books and how his books were turned into movies. It was very interesting and had nothing what-so-ever to do with Evil Bong 2: King Bong. Shatner is sporting a tux in it. It runs a little bit shy of 12 minutes.
King Bong, Evil Bong, Gingerdeadman 2, and Dangerous Worry Dolls Trailers.
Conclusion: The movie’s only value would have to be the crude humor, the numerous pothead references and the topless women of the Poon-Tang tribe running around naked, there to distract one from realizing how damn awful this brainless sequel is. Stay away from this movie unless you are stoned, are brain-dead, and don’t plan on having a solid thought for a good hour and twenty minutes.
