Nasty Rabbits

Greetings, teenage tuba tooters!

That's not my own, but comes from Rodney Anonymous, former lead singer of the Dead Milkmen and perhaps America's greatest poet. I recommend the Beelzebubba album, particularly "Stuart" as evidence of this claim.

One of his other greetings was "Greetings, teenage thrill-killers" which reminded me of a teenage thrill killer movie called "The Sadist" that actually is considered good. The remarkable part of that is it invovled a lot of the same people who were involved in "The Nasty Rabbit" which makes "Plan 9 from Outer Space" look like "Citizen Kane".

This is truly the worst film ever made. I found it in the Blockbuster "Le Bad Cinema" aisle amidst a population predominated by the 1950's girls-in-reform-school genre. It seemed like a combination of "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" and "Mad, Mad, Mad World" with lamer humor and less continuity. The basic plot is as follows. A nuclear device is smuggled by Russian sub into the US. It heads for a dude ranch on the continental divide as a variety of spies try to track it down.

It is most notable as one of the first roles for Richard Kiel, noted for his role as "Jaws" from the James Bond movies. He plays a ranch hand who does little but guffaw and slap a Russian diplomat on back repeatedly and forcefully.

See it if you dare!
