Monster of the Day #3298

We finished Friday night with The Oily Maniac, which was basically What if the Shaw Brothers made Toxic Avenger as a straight horror/revenge/superheroish sort of movie. Here a guy who’s been wronged by many people (especially the women, who he focuses his wrath upon) gains the power to become a sentient oil slick and murders everybody and exposes all the boob in China. Which is a lot of boobs. I think it was Mason (if not, I apologize) who quite late in finally made the inevitable Tasha Yar reference, which I hadn’t even thought of because I’m old and even more dumb now. Anyway, pretty good if you’re looking for a gonzo movie.

    I’m trying to think of some sort of pun involving the use of ‘oily’ in a sentence (‘The oily bird catches the worms’?) and failing miserably. Surely someone reading this can do better, right?

    A silly monster suit and lots of boobs- what else do you need for a great B-movie?

    That wasn’t my intent, but yeah, it is sitting there, isn’t it?

    It moves, the bad guys are super sleazy, there’s a tragic love story, etc. It’s pretty great.
