My god, I went and rented this on your guys recommendation and I want my money back. After renting and watching "Last House on the Left" last night, and this nugget today, I almost wanted to mail bomb Wes Craven.So, an already racist couple, stuck in the 50's live in the ghetto, and have to bar themselves in. They are rumored to have some rare coinage, which becomes the draw for 2 black people so they can pay their rent. I guess being the stereotypical stool pigeon for robbing liquor stores wasn't enough.
They have an attack dog that's trained to sic black people, the mom is a Mommy Dearest clone, the Dad runs around in a gimp suit, shooting his rifle at some kids in their walls and cellar, that hollar as if they we're afflicted with downs syndrome, or worse yet, Tourette's, and they never explain where they came from?
Where the hell did all the "un-normal" kids come from? On top of all that, the acting was hoooooooorrrrrribllllleee..as were the racial jokes the poor black kid was made to recite. So early 90's.
I don't know how you kids could watch this once, much less 30 times. It was a huge waste of my time, and I probably should have known better.
Hell, "Tales from the Hood" and "Bones" were better "Urban Horrors" than this! And I guarantee, there was alot less racism, and atleast the plots were distinguishable.
WOW arent u stuck on the racial issue. one its movie bro calm down. i couldnt imagine you watching american jistroy x. but ne way this movie is for specific tastes i think i luved it. and it wasnt about rasicim. at what point did they say the dog was trained to sic black people didnt you notice it went after the people's "adopted daughter" and also everyone in the walls and cellar were white. i mean it was just about two sick in the head people that wanted a so called "perfect child" it was just a comedic "horror flick" dont know why you took so much offens to it.
I didn't take offense at all, and I love love love "American History X". There were just a few too many racially motivated sight gags and jokes for my liking. Kind of like in "National Security". One looooong racial equality joke by a failure of a comic in Martin Lawrence.
It's plot points were just too scrambled and hard to follow to enjoy.

dont ever say that ****ing title again...wanna talk bout a waste of time.
No shit. I was looking for good Steve Zahn movies, and gave this one a try. Thankfully, it was only a $1 DVD rental.
Romper Stomper, eh? I'll have to check it out, because I've seen Higher Learning a few times, and should own it. I wanted to see "Architecture of Doom", a documentary on Adolf Hitler, but I think Queenie, black chick at Hollywood may get the wrong idea. 😕
We're "down" though, so she'd understand. 😛

yea hi agree with romper stomper, great movie. i was lucky enought to find that in the flea market for 5 bucks.
Well, no one has it for rent around here of course, so I found it on Half.com for $7.50/shipped?
What do you kids think? If it's anything like AHX, then I am all for it. Looks like it's "unrated" too, which is good, Heh.
BTW, I looked for Cannibal Holocaust on eBay and Amazon. Seem to be plenty.
Romper stomper takes place in like europe or around there its not in America. And it is also about japanses people/ chiense what ever they were in the movie. not about black people. Also it is alot differnt from American History X in many ways but still holds its own in a differnt kind of skinhead movie
