Famous Italian Director: Welcome to the screening ladies and gentlemen. I'm the director, I'd like to make, uh, just a few brief comments before we start. While we're watching the film I DON'T want you thinking about the 40 million dollars that were spent and the millions and millions of feet of film that were shot over a period of four *agonizing* years - just put that stuff right outta your mind.

"Never get out of the car. Mertz got out of the car. Then he got out of the car business..."
Did you like "Apocalypse Now" ? Then you should love "Porklips Now," probably the greatest no-budget amateur film (the indy hadn't yet been invented) of the '80s. Spot-on parody fantastically directed with truly bizarre performances. Skewers its target in less than 30 minutes with the best Brando impression of all time.
Why the heck isn't this available on DVD (along with director Ernie Fosselius' "Hardware Wars") ? And why didn't Fosselius end up directing feature comedies ?? Your mission is to find this film. And you're not borrowing my raggedy VHS copy.
