That old guy had the fakest eyebrows.

During the pre-credit sequence, the old guy starts critisizing his new partner, then the phone rings ONCE. The old guy answers the phone. Whoever it was hung up already. Then the old guy yells at the partner about not answering the phone! If the old guy couldn't get it in one ring, what makes him think his partner could?

Jason Ok Now you have done it. How can we really nitpick the movies that they screen on this show? I mean come on, this movie was horrible do you think they are going to put anything into conuinty

I was hoping that people could post the sources of the some of the more obscure references in the shows.

Mike That is a good idea.

The most idiotic, but hilarious scene was the rake/hoe battle. Watch the actors' faces because they really look like they're getting into it!
I can't remember seeing something so moronic.

Come to Club Scum - the place to be!

I can't remember laffing so hard during the
pigsticker song in club scum. listen to the guys try and figure out the words. this whole movie really helps me lose my appetite.

Nauseating Hobgoblins Fact:

The rake fight scene is two and a half minutes long. It feels about a hundred times longer, but that's how long it lasts in "real time."

Conversely, Nick and Daphne take approximately twenty-six seconds to have sex.

Plus, you gotta love the grenade explosion resulting in a guy on fire(??). Oh, and Kyle and his really twisted phone sex scene. Try not to lose it while he's being groped by the waitress.

The emcee is amusing:

"Greetings low-lifes and welcome to Club Scum!!"

That still gets me chuckling. Any scene with him's a hoot.

On his insurance form, he claimed $800 worth of red shorts.

(when Roadrash holds up the sign)

CROW: "They should add an S to that"

"Hits"?

OLD GUY: "There was an accident at the studio"
CROW: "They made Hobgoblins."

Plus, did anyone crack up during the "pigsticker" song and the living room dancing scene? it was like SO cheesy, fer sure!!

A ha! And what brisk witticism will this chappy offer eh? Ha ha!
This is hell right?
Yes this is definitely hell. Now when people ask what hell is like, we can tell them!
Meet the Hobgoblins! Stinky, something, something and The Claw!

Those Hobgoblins were gorgeous! I want one!

Of course, not one that had in any way come into contact with an actual cast member. Ugh.

My favorite wisecracks:

-when the guy is dancing to an unseen band.
Crow:We're on a road to nowhere.
Tom:I'll say!
Crow:Come on inside.
-Paint my muscle car prune.
-How do you read a record?
-Oh, did you see that? The bush outacted him.
-Not even a twist tie?
-Taz got out.
-Hey, don't scratch the Quarterflash!
-It's the 80s. Do a lotta coke and vote for Ronald Reagan.
-Tell 'em Lorraine Newman's in town!
-the guy calls a sex line and we see a gumball machine in the background.
Tom:Hey, look. There's my mom!
-That's not a woman, it's Sammy Hagar!
-In an unforseen tragedy, the two actors were not in the car when it went off the cliff.
-Oh, no. Our car turned into a Lincoln and exploded.
-Chord, chord, chord, chord, chord, chord, other chord, chord...
-Oh, he's singing us the menu. How nice!
-And he's assumed into B-movie heaven.
and of course...
-MacReady:There's been an accident at the studio.
Mike:We made "Hobgoblins"!

I've got that riff of mine above nailed now!

Meet the Hobgoblins! Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce and the Claw!

Sorry! I've REALLY got that riff of mine above nailed now!

Meet the Hobgoblins! Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce Bounce and the Claw!

A Hobgoblins reject pops up in the Doctor Who story 'Dragonfire'.

I decided to look up on IMDB what else the cast of Hobgoblins had been in, and unsurprisingly came up with very little. However, Servo's comment on the Emcee ("Proof there is no life after drama club") is sort of weird because he's probably done the most out of the whole cast, very mainstream stuff too.

Saints preserve us, I'll never be able to look at Cowboy Bebop: The Movie the same way again

This movie is awful. I THINK it actually may be an attempt at comedy (kind of like a sex-crazed Gremlins), but it's just so bad! The characters are all unlikeable--Kevin is an idiot, Kyle wears those red shorts and and is an idiot, Kevin's girlfriend is mean to him and then becomes a skank, Daphne is a skank, and Nick is a fool.

Great Scenes
*The old guy whipping out the explosives at the end of the film.
*Any fight scene with the Hobgoblins.
*The arrival of Nick's military superior.
*The Joel Grey-esque MC at Club Scum (I think that's probably an intentional impression though).
*The endless scenes of walking, dancing, and rake-fighting.

Don't forget parking!

So now whenever I watch Fairly OddParents, I will have to remember that the voice of Cosmo and Mr. Turner is (shudder) the Club Scum MC.

I know. Freaky.

*long, extended throat-clearing* That's my act! Goodnight!

There making a SEQUEL to this movie!

Head for the hills!!!

Yeah, the sequel will be out on DVD soon. If they can find anyone to release it. Apparently, it's set 20 years in the future, but still in the 80s. Go figure.

The director of this film, Rick Sloane, just friended me on Facebook (i.e., he sent the initial request). I can only assume this is because I set up a Hobgoblins fan group on Facebook at one point.

That's awesome.

There is a Canadian movie reviewer named Phelous who primarily features cheezy horror films on his webshow. And he reviewed this one a few years ago. I originally read about this on the Wikipedia article "Films Considered The Worst Ever", along with numerous other films that MST3K has featured as well. All I can say about this one is, it certainly wasn't "Troll 2"! (which both Phelous and the Cinema Snob have reviewed!)

May have seen this one, a long time ago.
