The greatest movie ever made..!

hyped garbage

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

MY BLOODY BANJO is a trashy, gruesome little tribute to Troma, made in the UK but managing to slip a Lloyd Kaufman cameo in there just for the sake of it. The best thing I can say about this is that it's better than the films made by Chris Seaver, such as FILTHY MCNASTY, but only just. The story is about a bored office worker whose abusive girlfriend drives him over the edge and into some very dark places. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE's Laurence R. Harvey plays an abused co-worker and there's a stand-out gore scene on a toilet of all places, which will have any male viewer wincing in empathy with the main character's plight. The rest is dumb, trashy, and lowbrow.

Picture the scene. 2015 and the very first Horror Convention in the UK, a group of people fill a room with guests to premiere their Trailer for Banjo.Loosely based on real life events; I shall let you think about that, Liam Regan talked us through his ideas that came to be one of the most original nods to the Troma Universe mixed with pure British Grit that makes our movies so fantastic.The best way to explain this film?It's Drop Dead Fred on Acid.Enjoy

My Bloody Banjo- my bloody nightmare! Managed to get through 30 minutes and it's 30 minutes of my life I will never get back. I'd start with the plot, but I don't think there was one. Instead we are treated with a nostalgic trip back to the days of A Level media. Digi cams in hand thinking we are the next Tarantino. It's all well and good when school is paying for the time and equipment. But to think someone put pen to paper, frames to film, to spend valuable time and money on this is beyond any form of comprehension. In the human centipede two, Laurence pleasures himself with sandpaper, and quite frankly that would be more pleasurable than watching this bird turd again. I can hand on heart say I would rather snap my own banjo and the acting would be superior. Real tears, real blood. Not the bullied at school wet your pants give me your dinner money that Laurence portrays here. Avoid! Go to bed with a partner of your choosing, try not to snap your banjo and have fun. Life is too short!

Banjo's cool poster strongly got my attention when I had read someone's review from freightfest UK last year. I had learned Laurence R. Harvey and Vito Trigo are casted in it back then. Both are my favorite actors. I thought I should check it once released.My biggest question was.. what's Banjo? Why is it called Banjo in the first place? I know banjo is one of the musical instruments. But what's all about this film? I've been wondering about it. I had to wait until I could see it.I admit that I couldn't get the meaning of Banjo in my first watching. I was a bit confused. I mumbled like, "Yeah, it's a fun flick but I still don't get it. Why Banjo? hmm... the director seems like a big fan of 80s. There should be the hidden meaning which should be cool. I need to find out. Okay. Let's watch it again!"I am a good English learner who always try hard! After seeing it twice and learned what "banjo string" is, OHHHH! I finally figured! Everything totally makes sense to me! Hahahahahaha! Liam is crazy! Someone once said, "Knowledge is power". It's very true. Knowledge makes your life fun.Banjo became my favorite film. It is one of the 80s homage kind of film but definitely it's not only that. In some part, it's very Tromatic. In some part, it has the comedic feeling of Dunder Mifflin. I woudn't be surprised if Dwight Schrute shows up on the screen and starts to make conversation with those fun actors.Yes, those actors did amazing job. I wish Laurence could have had more time to play. How could he act like that? I thought Kate (his lovely girl friend) can't see it without crying because the guy he's acting is so miserable. I thought she might not like it. How could she keep watching her boyfriend being bullied awfully like that? I said what I felt to my buddy Daiju just after seeing it. He hasn't seen the film but replied me like, "Here's my guess. She would laugh a lot if Laurence is chuckling next to her when they watch it together." I hope he's right.And Vito! I became a fan of him since I watched Scicene Team. His acting is always funny. Very strong and funny. All other actors are vividly playing their roles.I once heard that all crazy people are calm and peace in their mind. Peltzer Arbuckle's case seems different. He is forced to deal with tons of mess in his life - job, romance and the troublesome imaginary friend Ronnie. Things are getting complicated/upside down. His mind goes insane. Is Ronnie a savior for Peltzer? Or devil? Or just a friend? I can't tell. But anyway, on the ending, Peltzer became happy - completely calm and peace. So I'd say it's a happy ending.
