So what exactly is the fuss over 'Big Gus'? Why does Lloyd call this the
worst movie ever and why does he not want anyone to see it? I have no
freakin' clue!
'Big Gus' is in no way a terrible movie. I really liked this movie. It was
funny, it wasn't slow moving, it was a good time at the movies. The best way
to describe 'Big Gus' is like calling it 'Cry Uncle!' without the sex and
nudity. So now what is the story of this actually good (in my opinion)
movie?
Well Gus and his partner Harry are two detectives on a case. They are trying
to get proof for their friend Irwin Mitchell's mother that her son's ex-wife
is cheating on him. Talk about a paranoid mother! So Gus and Harry are
trying to get photographs of them kissing. So far they've had no luck and
Mrs. Mitchell is geting pissed. And if they don't have the proof by the end
of the night, they won't get paid. One problem is, is that Dr. Theodore Lux
and Ethel now that Gus and Harry are after them, so Dr. Lux hires a mob boss
named Don Flowers and his two henchmen Marshmellow and Potato Head to help
him get rid of the detectives. Now this is were it gets hillarious, in one
scene in the hospital Gus and Harry run into Don Flowers and the two goons,
and Don Flowers is wearing a corsaige and he waters it. Comic brilliance
right there. So the goons catch them and they the Don orders them to beat
Gus and Harry up. So how do they beat 'em up? Why in Three Stooges fashion.
Funny stuff. So now Gus and Harry get the help of their friends Hard-Luck
Herman and Cindy to help get some dirt on Dr. Lux and Ethel. They go and bug
a hotel room where the two 'Assignments' are supposedly staying. Will Gus
and Harry solve the case? Will they get the proof? Will someone squeal on
them? Will they make the deadline? You'll have to see 'Big Gus, What's The
Fuss?' to find out!
'Big Gus' is a great comedy. I don't know why Lloyd hates it so much? It's
got good acting, some super funny scenes, great music (including a
hillarious rendition of Quincy J's 'Ironside' theme), and it's just a romp
to watch. I think every Troma fan should see this, it's not the most
Troma-type movie, but it's damn good. The funny thing too about it, is in
the ad on the site it says it is in Hebrew with English subs and has a
timecode. Well, it's in English and has no timecode! In my opinion there is
no fuss with 'Big Gus'!
