Review of It Came from Hollywood (1982) by Gary S — 30 May 2011
It Came From Hollywood, but what is 'It'? Could it be Gorillas? Yes, Gorillas rampaging through multiplexes with their fake costumes and bad plots. Or is it Martians? Yes, UFO's destroying countries and using mannequins for speed bumps. What about the Giants and tiny people? Were they the "It" that came from the dreaded Hollywood? I bet it was Edward D. Wood Jr who is the true "It" that Hollywood spat out into the faces of audiences with his epic badness. Or maybe the 'It' is Hollywood itself?
John Candy's Salute to Ed Wood is the best reason to see this fledgling compilation of B-movies hosted by yesteryear comedians who will amuse you with their classic wit as they lampoon clips of films with gorillas, flying saucers, musicals, giants etc. This would be a great film to watch on the big screen because it encompasses a number of nostalgic clips and movie trailers. The DVD to this has been discontinued unfortunately, but if you search on Youtube you'll find it.
