Review of Twister's Revenge!

While watching this movie flop across my television screen, I imagined this was the product of a movie-maker who'd drunk too many six-packs of cheap beer and gorged on too many bags of chips and onion-flavored dip. It's a delirious experience watching this non-stop train-wreck of non-stop racing cars and motorcycles and monster vehicles plowing through homes and outhouses and trying to figure out whose driving what and to what purpose. The summary says that this is the story of three bumbling idiots who want to get their hands on a computerized tank. So the movie is stuffed full of insane scenes of these three stooges falling over each other in trying to win the prize. Actually, the male characters are not bad. They do what they do convincingly and throw themselves into the action, performing their own stunts. But the one big saving grace for me and for any other gay reviewer or for any woman looking out for beefcake, the character of "Bear"--played by big, brawney, handsome, muscular R. Richardson Luka--was the focus of my attention in every scene he was in. He played the idiot, the bumbling bozo who seemed more than retarded. Yet, one kept hoping he'd have his shirt torn off or the rest of the clothes because he was so damned cute. He had a marvelous, sexy way of moving around in his tee shirt and jeans. Instead, director Bill Rebane has him wearing a tee shirt through most of the movie until the final scene where he FINALLY bears most of his manly chest. The other male performers make good eye candy and the scene in the bar with customers wearing animal masks as they enjoy a huge Divine looking woman and her two partners shake and bump and grind is still jaw-dropping. And there's another bizarre character of a woman in a short dress who keeps racing away on foot in cowboy boots and we see streaking across fields, railroad tracks, through downtown and we have to ask Why? What is she running from? Filmed in Wisconsin, on probably a budget that would barely buy you a six-pack at the Piggly-Wiggly, "Twister's Revenge" has a bizarre fascination that would make a good second feature to John Water's "Pink Flamingos."
