Review of Killer Condom

Killer Condom (1996)
7/10
Better than a B-movie; a B-movie with subtitles!
3 June 1999
This movie is destined to be a cult classic. It has the outrageous and almost totally unbelievable plot, the bad acting, shifty camera work, horrible special effects, a gay love story, and subtitles. In spite of all this (or maybe because of it) the movie is fun.

The action takes place mostly at a brothel called "Hotel Quickie" and is set in NYC. The hotel-provided condoms pack a bit of a bite and after four men lose their bits, the police call in Detective Macaroni; enter the well hung hero.

While investigating the scene of the crime, Macaroni catches the eye of Billy, a cute young hooker who falls deeply in love with "Cop"'s considerable... nightstick, shall we say. Unfortunately, before they are able to consummate their relationship, the condom strikes again and leaves Macaroni one nut shy of a full sack. Now the fight is personal, so Macaroni is determined to bring the condoms and whoever unleashed them on society to justice.

The movie is full of strange and quicky characters that bring to mind the early works of David Lynch. There is a transvestite ex-cop (Bob/Babette) who has a crush on Macaroni and even a Republican Candidate for President with a thing for hookers. The best thing about the characters, however, is that they all have something called "character development" throughout the film which is something even most Hollywood Blockbusters don't have anymore.

This movie is definitely not for everyone but if you enjoy cheesy horror films, can endure the subtitles, and if the gay "love" story doesn't offend you, you might really like it. I'm already planning to rent it again.
