Killer Tongue
R
This impressed me more when I first saw it in high school, when I hadn't been exposed to as many movies that were weird for a purpose rather than weird for weirdness's sake, as this one is. Why does the tongue speak with the same accent as Moe from The Simpsons? A lot of high camp all around, as with Robert Englund's fascistic, closeted prison warden, two bumbling thieves with an ambiguously gay connection, and a quartet of dogs who get turned into flamboyant drag queens (with a young Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a dog-turned-prettyboy!). The chick who plays Candy is fucking gorgeous, by the way.
Leia's Favorite Movies
I saw this movie without knowing anything about it except the director (who went on to make Tommy and Lair of the White Worm), and I was stunned by how good it was. One of the most critical views of the Catholic Church I've ever seen in a film (which got it into a lot of trouble when it was first released). This NEEDS to come out on DVD.
