There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The idea of rude humor and purposefully sexist comedy is fine--but you have to actually be funny. And you have to make something that holds together as a movie--I mean to sit through a feature length mess is not a good time.The standards for this series as far as something that looks like a movie are low but this one is a new low. A Lousy sound job with obvious and much post production dubbing of voices is probably the shoddiest element. The sound dubbing is no bad it almost sounds like a commentary track playing over the actual film sound--and mostly sounds are just missing.Director Butler doesn't show an understanding of how to shoot a movie it almost looks like it's shot and edited live--frequently the shots jump from one to another from a real location to poor sets.The editing struggles to cut from one camera angle to another without it looking like each show was done at a different location. The original footage is badly shot so I'll give the editor a bit of a break--one of these "you can't make chicken soup from chicken sh**, still there is no pace to the movie.The movie boast out of focus shots right in the first couple of minutes during a shoddy Silence of the Lambs parody--the kind of bad sketch comedy that would be editing out of any other movie.There are also ,crappy Digital and practical effects and acting that is elementary school talent show rejection level. Most of this can be blamed on Butler and, I'm sure, a super short shooting schedule. Then again this was made in Los Angeles where there are more actors than anywhere else on the planet so why you'd pick these people? Even for no money there are so many to choose from.Only possible note is that unlike the totally lazy films that Charlie Band directs himself, Butler actually has some ambition--to actually shoot in a real roller rink for a day or two and actually have some digital effects.If you liked the previous films I guess you can add one star to my review but still not something worth your time.Full Moon films seem stuck in many ways to what wasn't so great in the 1990's. Only back then they had, per film, budgets that now represent an entire years worth of movies. Sad.

Escaping capture and traveling through time, the dangerous killer cookie finds himself stranded at a 1970's roller disco about to close and gets up to his old tricks which puts their final dance contest in jeopardy and forces them to battle him off in order to escape the night.This one was quite easily the funniest and goofiest entry in the series. This starts almost immediately here with the cheesy antics as the film goes for that atmosphere here with the manner of how the creature gets free and the manner of it going through makes for a great goofy start that continues throughout the film. By going for the time-travel route and setting the entire film in the roller- disco it creates an atmosphere of sheer utter cheese with the film getting the opportunity to showcase all the rather over-the-top dancing routines set to blaring disco songs with their garish colors and fun-filled times here with the way this one focuses on these scenes generating all the fantastic cheese it can provide. Beyond this setting, it continues that fun with the backstage drama following up on the queen of the dance and all the backstabbing going on that leaves this one with plenty of melodrama that gives this one the type of atmosphere here with the works these here into the depraved way it spoofs the main film around that time with the similar name, powers and storyline that plays right into the actions of the finale which is so cheesy and so much fun inverting the expectations into being for good rather than destruction as it was in the original. All of this goofy action gives the film the type of set-up here for some great action scenes here with some rather fun and over-the-top killings to go alongside these set-ups, with the first assault on the car-washers who spray themselves with acid instead of water, the nail-gun massacre in the supply closet and the exceptionally gruesome sequence in the bathroom where the last victim gets slashed up in a long, gruesome death. Alongside the great make- up effects displayed whenever the creature-puppet is on- screen, there's a lot of great points here to like over the few minor flaws here. The biggest facet to overcome here is the cheese which might come at the expense of this one on the whole not being enjoyable as there's so much present here that it does hold a big part against this one. Still, while that might be an individual part the one other facet to overcome is the weak CGI which looks quite cheap and distracting which is used for such things as the bloodshed and scenes of the killer in action rather than letting the puppet get centerstage. Otherwise, there's not a lot to dislike here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a sex scene and drug use.

This movie was terrible, but not in the "awful" sense. Filled with puns, plays on words, and enough disco nomenclature to satisfy even the most die hard. I just happened on this film, and thought, "What the Hell?". It was worth it. Its silly, its campy, and horribly lame, but a totally delightful romp with the Ginger Dead man. This movie promises nothing, and it delivers in spades!! I watched it 4 times back to back, just because I was laughing so hard. This movie is worth a watch if you just want to laugh at out of date humor, or if you are one of the 8 people who remained sober through the '70's and just want to take a, "roll" down memory lane. I saw there are other "Ginger Dead" movies, I am going to have to hunt them down!! KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!!!

I received this in the mail on Halloween, just in time. It's still better than the original, but very silly. It spoofs Saturday Night Fever, Silence of the Lambs, Carrie, Porky's, Tootsie, and more. The little Gingerdead man is back and more brutal and foul-mouthed than ever. When he's sent back to 1976, he decides to kill the contestants of a roller-disco contest. Cherry Wright (Carrie spoof) is the new girl that everyone picks on, but she's given a makeover and becomes more popular. She falls in love, but tries to kill the evil Gingerdead man before time runs out. This will probably be the last in the trilogy. If you want a silly horror flick, you might enjoy GINGERDEAD MAN 3: Saturday NIGHT CLEAVER!!!
