Safe sex just got a lot more dangerous in this purposefully outrageous comedy from Germany. A college professor, Mr. Smirnoff (Ralf Wolter) lures an attractive female student, who is willing to do jus... read more read more...t about anything to improve her grade, to New York's Hotel Quickie, where he avails himself of one of the free condoms provided by the management. However, the prophylactic in question has sprouted teeth and has a taste for blood, and before long, the prof is suddenly missing a penis. Assigned to investigate this strange case is detective Luigi Mackeroni (Udo Samel), a gay policeman who just transferred from Sicily and is a little lonely in his new home. When Luigi and Billy (Marc Richter), a good looking hustler, decide to repair to the Hotel Quickie for some fun and games, the detective himself is attacked by the carnivorous rubber (though his injuries are considerably less than those suffered by Prof. Smirnoff). Now much better acquainted with his new nemesis, Luigi has to convince his partner about the menace of the killer condoms, while in his spare time, he tries to brush off the uninvited advances of burly transvestite Babette (Leonard Lansink). Kondom des Grauens, released in the United States by Troma as Killer Condom, was based on a comic book by German cartoonist Ralf Koenig, who also wrote the screenplay. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    It was a Crack idea, but in a twisted kind of way a funny movie.

    Kondom des Grauens (Killer Condom) is a unique and funny movie.In a modern world where movies are just copies of past hits, it's great to see something original.Killer Condom shows people that safe sex can still be dangerous!

    This is a fun movie that has lots of silly low level humor. The fact that it is a German film dubbed into English by the Troma folks adds to it. I had the luck of seeing it on the big screen. Worth a watch, especially if you have a drink during it/

    This movie is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. It's a German movie about an Italian cop in New York city named Luigi Mackaroni hunting, you guessed it, a killer condom.
    The Condom was designed by H.R. Geiger, and there are parts of the movie that almost felt like a lo... read morew budget Jean Pierre Jeunet film, that is if Jeunet had been taking copious amounts of acid while writing the story. Definitely out there.

    Awesome. A very funny horror movie. Dealing with a gay detective, a mad religious fanatic, and killer condoms.
  • November 27, 2007
    Its a German movie dubbed in English about a...uh, killer condom in New York...It has a snaggle tooth, teeth, whatever. It is for lack of a better phrase, the most amazing horror spoof thing I can imagine. If nothing else, you can tell you're friends you've seen a movie where a... read more condom kills people.

    i couldn't believe this film had SOME production value, more than Redneck Zombies atleast...absolutely hillarious...i love gay Sicilian detective Luigi Macaroni
  • February 27, 2007
    This is actually really funny and smart believe it or not. Unexpectedly, this gay romance (man meets call boy...homos meet killer condom) story is in the same subgenre as Killer Klownz and modern Corman.
