There are thousands of new and old B-movies out there that often force the viewer to ask themselves "what could that director possibly have been thinking?" Well, Super Badass is definitely one of them. But aside from that, upon viewing, you'll most likely be asking yourself "what white trash underachiever got off the bottle long enough to conjure up something so unambitious, something so meaningless, something so lifeless?" Yet, at the same time, it's awfully nice to see something so shamelessly (and randomly) mean-spirited, and blatantly inept just stagger along with not a care in the world.
I guess you could say I actually kinda liked Super Badass. I'm not proud of that fact, but I just find it incredibly odd, mainly because I don't think I've ever seen anything so weird and surreal that wasn't of the Horror genre. Super Badass is more crime/action. But also a drug movie. But it's just so nonchalant how it's presented.Super Badass takes place in 1957 (I think) where "Mississippi loser" Super Badass leaves daddy's farm for the big city to become a bounty hunter, and to take hard drugs, but mostly to be a bounty hunter. Super Badass has many foes. Villains such as "The Boogeyman" (just a pathetic lack of originality there), and Bucko The Clown (not much better). Super Badass shoots some heroin, and some children get viciously murdered by the bad guys, while the parents are practically unphased by the sight of their children's graphic demise. But phased enough to pay off Super Badass to seek unorthadox vengeance. Subtle bits of humor like that keep me from hating this otherwise retarded piece of shit.
He's going somewhere with all of this, I just know it, and at least in Charles Cullen's mind, he has in fact accomplished what he was going for. This guy created a big bunch of nothing, and from what I heard on the DVD commentary, he sounds fairly pleased with himself, and why not? Super Badass, regardless of whatever the hell it is, is far more than most of us have done... alright, well, maybe not FAR more. I don't see myself purchasing any more weird bullshit from Cullen. I mean, I get the idea. however, I'm occasionally tempted to check out another movie he made called Killer Klowns From Kansas On Krack. If anyone ever gets curious and gives it a chance, let me know if it's a bigger piece of shit. I'll bet it's one of those that only sounds cool. I'd actually recommend Super Badass. But only to those who like weird movies which have absolutely no point. 4/10
