A Golan/Globus Musical? WTF!!! I heard Menaham Golan had Chuck Norris kill the musical director in 1986. It does have the russian from Red Dawn as the devil and a shirtless Joss Ackland as a hippie God, even diplomatic immunity couldn't save him from this disaster.

Even though this is such an awful movie, I suggest drinking or watching with friends. So hilarious. Has to be the worst musical ever made.

Pretty much the weirdest, gayest thing ever. Every movie should have a scraggly hippy mountian man with a huge knife.

If you believe in God, be prepared to question His existence, for no compassionate deity would ever allow such a monstrosity to be made (would He?). Full Review
It may, in fact, be the ultimate cinematic two-headed cow -- except unlike a two-headed cow, The Apple truly is the strangest sight your eyes have ever beheld. Full Review
