Movie Reviews of Mighty Gorga / One Million AC/DC
Movie Review: One Million AC/DC: Not Up To Ed Wood's Usual Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Often overlooked on the DVD is a little piece of R-rated tripe called 'One Million AC/DC' a very bad and un-erotic sex comedy written by no other than Ed Wood. I actually don't really like this genre too much, and wish Something Weird had put something else on the disc. I do like Ed Wood though, so I watched it. Those were 65 painful minutes. The set of the cave looks like the jungle room and Graceland, as it features green shag carpet extensively. There is no plot to speak of, there's a virgin sacrifice (not what you think), guys fighting with rocks and clubs, and gratuitous hippie references. There is also a romantically involved ape in a very bad monkey suit that makes a sound like a buzz saw. There is a lot of black and white (tinted sepia, so we wouldn't notice...right) stock footage that any B-movie connoisseur will recognize of iguanas and gila monsters fighting. There is, unfortunately, also a tyrannosaurus rex, which, if you can believe this is even lamer than in 'Gorga.' I won't even speculate on what brand of child's toy it is. I especially love the scene when the toy eats a girl. Yum!The film continues the theme on the DVD of annoying background music. Here it is composed for the unlikely quintet of harmonium, zither, bongos, doorbell, and spoons. (I wish it was as soothing as John Cage, but it is not.) There are typical caveman scenes: people lounging and eating grapes and BBQ ribs, cat fights, the old rubber lizard in a loincloth gag, and a chase scene that kind of looks like what would happen if Doris Wishman directed '10.' There are a couple of puns that will make you blanche, for instance "I'm off to see the lizard" (everyone knows that cavemen speak perfect English, occasionally with an Italian accent.) At the end the ape and his girlfriend are welcomed to the community of hominids with warm handshakes all around.
This is really below Ed Wood's normal level of quality and craftsmanship.
There are a lot of extras on the DVD as well, including some great trailers. Trailers of note include 'La Islas De Los Dinosauros" and the abysmal "Sound of Horror", a movie I saw on VHS and is the most pathetic dinosaur movie ever made.
Also featured is an amateur short so bad that I can't even bring myself to discuss it. It is called 'Nightmare', and I will say only that it gives claymation a bad name, and features the lamest prop newspaper ever seen.
There is also a short called 'Prehistoric Daze' featuring comedian Hank Henry (who?) in a hilarious henpecked stone-age romp. It is very embarrassing to everyone involved.
Finally, there is the single stupidest excuse for a short that I have ever seen, 'Diane the Jungle Girl and Jungle Girl and Her Gorilla of Love'. I won't even speculate on why anyone thought this was a good idea to spend money on.
Thanks, Something Weird! Another splendid job bringing us only the finest entertainment!
