Flush

This is a movie which seems to be based on its a mad mad mad mad world, but the plot centers around a septic tank cleaner, and the gold is not under two palm trees, its in a septic tank in Mexico. Numerous half-wit characters are involved in this, and they are sent to many different places (including a strip-club, a funeral home and a place known for having the largest avocado in the U.S. I don't know how I ended up seeing this, but I wouldn't wish this film on my worst enemy.

This was titled in some countries as It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Part 2 and never seemed to get a theatrical release in the U. S. and went straight to video in Canada. The film borrows a lot of elements from the 1963 film. The plot has a group of characters chasing after a septic tanker truck driver who apparently has cash hidden somewhere. The truck is shaped and colored like an actual bumblebee. The acting and slapstick comedy is passable, but if you want real laughs, check out the original '63 version.

"Flush", the 1977 (or '82) comedy film, is yet another ripoff of "it's a mad mad mad mad world", in the same vein of films like "Million Dollar Mystery", "Rat Race", etc. But out of all of those films with that money chase plot, I think "Flush" is the worst.

It is an example of comic ineptitude, with nearly every joke being unfunny. It's characters come under the same problem with "Mad Mad World"'s characters, in that their unlikeable, but "Mad Mad World" was not only to a much lesser extent, but the characters were also much funnier.

But let's move on from the comedy. Like I said above, It has a used plot, and the film looks incredibly ugly, and sounds uglier with its sound effects, that for a while did a very poor job at censoring any swear words, but at some point the editors just stopped adding them. But the sound effects weren't the only thing displeasing to the ears. It's terrible soundtrack was as well. The soundtrack might be terrible, but the acting is even worse.

Funnily enough, It was incredibly hard to find one redeeming thing about, but the best parts are merely average. 1.5/10.

Has anyone else, out there (besides me), seen this film? Is one of those rare-gems, b-movie type of stuff ... but it's hilarious. It features this actor, who looks a lot like that 'Doctor Who' guy, Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor) ... and he drives around in this overloaded-septic tank cleaning truck, shaped like a giant bumble bee. The trucks is mainly used for extracting all kinds of contaminants inside of septic tanks. The driver (and main-character)has the kinda annoying good olé'boy style of voice. He's main weapon to use, while driving around in this pile o junk (truck), is triggering this air-pressured hose (located int eh back of the truck). Remember what's stored in the back of the truck. That's exactly what the vehicle, and driver in the rear, gets hosed down with.
