The greatest movie ever made..!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I knew of this film years ago. When I was about 12 a few friends and I got together and ran this. I thought it was a charming little movie. Then I did some research and found out that it was made in someone's back yard with a home movie camera, and I was even more fascinated by it. Today I look around and see all these people making their own movies with video cameras and putting them up on websites like youtube and I have to look back at A Polish Vampire in Burbank and realize that this was one of the first 'do it yourself' movies. I just found it again recently and although the movie looks a bit dated today, it certainly takes me back to a time when individual movie making wasn't that common.

If, like the female protagonist in "Polish Vampire in Burbank", you can't get enough of vampire movies, you might as well add this one to your list. But be warned, this ham and cheese fest defies simple classification, as it aims for comic horror and winds up a horrific comedy.To be sure, the simple plot has an original touch. The lead character, vampire Dupah (Mark Pirro), has yet to bite his first victim; he gets human blood from his father (Hugh O. Fields) and oversexed sister Yvonne (Marya Gant) on their nightly excursions, and drinks his allotment with a straw from a baggy. Utilizing every double entendre in the book, the film proceeds to follow Dupah's agonizing quest to lose his vampiric virginity. He laments that his fangs may be too small, he worries about his first act of penetration, and wonders if he can "go all the way". Dupah is encouraged by the skeletal chatter of his older brother Sphincter (Eddie Deezen), even though in life he hated the sight of blood, and met his demise when he couldn't outrun a sunrise, the classic curse of the vampire.There are more unique elements as well; in a flashback sequence we learn how Sphincter almost had the Holy Ghost beat into him by the Judo for Jesus Girl (Catharine Wheatley). The "Queerwolf" concept (Paul Farbman) is probably the best of the film, he was a normal man before "it" happened - but since being bitten by a queer during a full moon, he has trouble keeping his wrist straight.Eventually, Dupah jacks up the courage to bite his new girlfriend Delores Lane (Lori Sutton), and as he completes his mission, his accomplishment is heralded by the strains of the "Rocky" theme.The film, produced on a shoestring by Mark Pirro doing triple duty as actor, writer and director, suffers from poor production values, but hey, it made a half million dollars on a next to nothing budget of twenty five hundred bucks. It makes me wonder what a big budget film with today's technology could accomplish.So, was there anything actually scary about "Polish Vampire"? Well yes, there's Ernie and Misty (Steven and Bobbi Dorsch) doing a Sonny and Cher impression. One last thought, was it just me, or did the skeleton of Dupah in the film's finale look like Michael Jackson?

Unlike the other rancid cheese from the same (I hesitate to call them this) filmmakers, Queerwolf, A Polish Vampire in Burbank is worth watching for the "Judo for Jesus" sequence.While I do love camp vampire movies, this flick is too lowbrow for camp. If you are looking for quality camp in a vampire flick, stick with Innocent Blood or Buffy, The Vampire Killer. But when you already have a sixpack in you and a have your cardboard silhouette of Joel and the robots situated in front of the TV screen and feel hungry for some truly stinky cheese, then A Polish Vampire in Burbank with its Judo for Jesus and The Vampire Hookers (absolutely dreadful, but the song during the credits is hilarious) is for you.

I used to watch this when "USA Up All Night" was still on the air (Gilbert Gottfried and those timeless B-movies). You can actually order this movie directly from the company (Pirromount Pictures) for about $19.99.Is it perfect? No, but it's the most fun you'll have watching something put together on a less-than-shoestring budget. There are some really funny scenes in here, and some classic lines. In my opinion, it's better than anything Troma ever released.8/10.
