Too much of everything

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

As Good As It Gets

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Based on a comic book by gay German artist Ralf König, Killer Condom is a deadpan horror / comedy that pokes fun at religion and politics while blatantly flaunting its pro-homosexual stance.Sicilian born Luigi Mackeroni (Udo Samel, star of Herzog's Kaspar Hauser and a coupla Michael Haneke flicks among other things) is a hardboiled, chain-smoking (even in the shower), trench coat-wearing detective patrolling the filthy, crime-ridden streets of New York… he also happens to be a flaming fag and has one of the biggest cocks around.A string of crimes develop involving men's cocks being ripped from their persons in room 308 of the hooker infested Hotel Quickie. Mackeroni is assigned to the case and soon discovers - not before losing a testicle, I might add - that a wave of razor-toothed "killer condoms" is behind the violent penectomies and sets out to exterminate them and take down to whoever is behind their creation. In between hunting for the fanged rubbers Mackeroni still finds time to fall in love with the hotels local rent boy and constantly fight off Babette / Bob, an ex lover and cop now turned drag queen hooker.I gotta say, I honestly expected more of Killer Condom, I mean, when I heard that Jorg Buttgereit and HR Giger were behind the design and special effects I was looking forward to a low budget German splatter-comedy and this is anything but. It's more of a campy horror / crime comedy with elements of film noir and very little blood. Although, there are some genuinely funny moments such as when Mackeroni's partner gets all leathered-up and goes undercover in a gay bar where he gets p!ssed on (offscreen) by a big hairy "bear" or when Mackeroni is asked why he doesn't go for women and replies "I like firm male asses, not pissflaps!".The title and cover art of Killer Condom look far more promising than the actual film, which is in essence a campy comedy. That aside, Killer Condom is still worth picking up especially if you dig schlock horror.

When I heard my friend had borrowed a movie about condoms that killed from a guy we call "troll boy"- I was a more than a little skeptical. However, "Killer Condom" wound up being one of the most humorous and original movies I've seen in a very long time. It may be in German with English subtitles, but that just enhances the gritty texture of its faux film noire style. This movie, though it lulls you into thinking it is predictable, has surprising twists and quite a lot of dark humor. A New York Detective, Luigi Mackeroni, is on a personal crusade to stop the genitalia-severing condoms after one of his own testicles has been attacked during a sexual encounter with Bill, a young gigolo who is after the balding cop for his...remarkable endowments. Will the condoms be stopped? Will they find true love? Will you be able to resist the luscious Babet? And most of all:how can you not watch a movie where the main character's name is Luigi Mackeroni? Come on, now. Thats pure gold!!
