A silly little dark comedy with Judd Nelson (Marty Malt) and Bill Paxton (Gus). Oh, and Wayne Newton. Everything about this movie rules. From Marty's big suit, to Gus's accordian, to Gus licking the corpse of a dead woman he finds at the city dump, to the so brilliantly baaaad jokes that Marty Malt comes up with.

Like sooo horribly bad that it takes a superb genius to write them. It looks dark and moody and the third arm brings it all together. If you like twisted dark comedies you'll love DARK BACKWARD. My favorite Bill Paxton role ever! Seriously.
