'Funnyman' (1994) - Simon Sprackling.

The gifted artiste, Pauline Black, is entirely wonderful as the enigmatic, bazooka-fisted psychic commando in Simon Sprackling's playful, deliciously crude splatter comedy Funnyman. The splashy gore, garish psychedelics, flavoursome flushes of toilet humour and unfiltered absurdity provide, for me, the film's greatest appeal. A luridly ribald 'Carry On Slashing' atmosphere is successfully maintained throughout, and the crass, glibly goring jester remains one of the more memorably mirthsome B-Movie misanthropes. Granted, not for all terror tastes, but for those who can readily appreciate Funnyman's boorish, blood-basted, bargain-binned aesthetic, its rapacious stupidity remains gloriously undiminished!

"You're a funny man, Max, but I've seen funnier!!!"
