Rat Pfink A Boo Boo (1966)

Review:

First half of the movie: a woman is stalked and threatened by three thugs. Her boyfriend sings a song. When she is kidnapped, her gardener is hit with a hammer. Her boyfriend sings another song. Then boyfriend and gardener hide in the closet.

Second half of the movie: boyfriend and gardener come out of the closet, dressed up as the crime fighters Rat Pfink and Boo Boo.

On imdb you will find many reviews that pretend that this is one of the best movies ever, but that’s just not true. Indeed this movie is done with love and dedication, it’s true that this movie is better than, say, Fantastic Four 2 or Superman 4 or Spiderman 5, but then, most movies are, and in the end director Ray Dennis Steckler is not very much better than Edward D. Wood. This movie is fun to watch, it’s refreshingly original, and it’s so much better than those movies that are just made for the money, but…..

Well, it’s just not a good movie. It’s two halfmovies that don’t fit together really well. I tried to give it 4* but it didn’t feel right.

By the way: it’s true that this won a Golden Turkey Award, but the category was only Worst Title Of All Time. And before you ask: I’ve read a trivia that claimed that the N and the D were lost in animation.
