Ooga Booga Trailers

Revenge is served on a spear when dirty cops brutally murder Devin, an innocent African-American med student. Devin's soul is magically transferred into the body of an action figure named Ooga Booga. Armed only with his tribal weapon and the help of his old girlfriend, Donna, Ooga Booga takes to the streets and trailer parks to find the men who stole his bright future away from him. The bodies begin to pile up as Ooga Booga slices and dices his way through crooked cops, meth heads and demented city officials in order to clear his name.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I went into this with my roommate, expecting a hilarious adventure of racism that we could laugh at and make light social commentary of. What we got instead, was perhaps the worst film we've ever seen. Not only does it try to combat racism by being incredibly racist, it also skims over rape, sexism, and a number of other topics. Every white character in the film is a racist, save for one of the cops whose wife is an African American, and a white hooker whose sole purpose is to show her tits on screen. The first 15 minutes surround a character who isn't in the film again - and is mentioned once in the ending. He isn't a villain. He is the star of a supposedly famous kids "TV Show" called Hambo. The character Hambo doesn't go by any other name, seemingly having adapted the character as his own persona for some reason. His only friend is the main character - a young African American who used to watch Hambo as a kid - and he is incredibly racist towards him. I don't know how either of them met. I don't know how they've stayed friends. None of it makes any sense. Also, the main character is a doctor. This is used only for sympathy. He doesn't use any medical skills at all throughout the film. He also, as Ooga Booga, kills multiple innocent people solely because they are racist. I can't describe the plot to anyone. It doesn't make sense. A majority of the film follows a plot point that doesn't connect or matter very much to the main point. Ooga Booga and his story are in the film for around 35 minutes of the 1 hour 50 minute long film. A majority of the scenes make no sense. There is no reason for them.The rape that was glossed over - the female lead didn't react to it after it happened. She went home, got in the shower, at which point Ooga Booga the puppet jerked off to her in the shower. Ooga Booga doesn't act like Devin, the kind young physician. Ooga Booga is a different person altogether. To put it simply: This film isn't worth watching. It provides few laughs - and even most of those are drowned out by how angry you will be for it's intense racism.

I've been a fan of full moon entertainment movies ever since I was a kid. Granted, I know they are typically very low budget and tend to have horrible acting, but their great for genre horror movies that aren't really done by Hollywood.i mean come on, these are the guys that made the demonic toys,killjoy, and subspecies movies. This movie plays along the type of movies that doll graveyard and killjoy were. The main character, ooga booga, even made his first appearance in doll graveyard. While the doll is played for laughs during the first part of the movie, he becomes vicious and murderous in the last half. A typical supernatural revenge/horror movie, this may have been done hundreds of times better than this little film, but this is still a very good film by a low budget company that actually knows what their doing and can deliver. Definitely check it out.

Just where would we be without Full Moon Features? The production company have given us such classic films as The Puppet Master, Trancers (I-VI, no less), Evil Bong and The Gingerbread Man. Indeed, without these wonderfully catchy and kitchy DVD options, I would have had a many Saturday afternoon staring at my navel wondering just how fascinating watching paint dry could possibly be.The latest Full Moon production to coax its way into my DVD player is Ooga Booga – a likely cult-classic that is a take on Tom Holland's 1988 classic, Child's Play. Featuring a cast that has the twisted arms of actors Stacey Keach and Karen Black participating, Ooga Booga tells the story of Devin, an African American med student who is innocently killed only to come back in the form of a 16-inch cannibal doll named (wait for it……) Ooga Booga.Devin's soul inside Ooga Booga doesn't allow him to talk (he can make native cannibal noises though), so Ooga Booga uses his spear to write words to communicate with his girlfriend who helps Ooga exact revenge on gangs, judges, cops and just about anyone else that did him wrong during the final hours of his human life.The effects are laughable which, I am sure, is exactly what producer/director Charles Band was attempting to achieve. Band has produced over 250 films in his storied career, but anyone who has put money and effort into Zombies vs. Strippers and The Dead Want Women knows a thing or two about tongue-in-cheek horror films. Ooga Booga is able to blink, shake and move his arms. But there are no expected Academy Awards in the film's future for visual effects.The violence is less than can be expected in a Sharknado. Ooga Booga can spear people in the eye but outside of that knack he is about as threatening as Andy Dick is to my relationship with my wife.Luckily, Stacey Keach and Karen Black in one of her last roles, come out unscathed. They have terrible lines of which they are contracted to convey but with taglines that included, "Beyond Django…." And "He's 16 inches, with an attitude!", they both knew this was paycheck cashing time.Yet, despite its bad humor, overt racism, bad effects and simplistic plot, Ooga Booga does provide some entertainment. You just can't take your eyes off the ridiculousness of the main character and the idea is so outlandish that executives at Syfy must be scratching their heads asking themselves why they didn't think of it first.www.killerreviews.com

Saw a trailer for this online, and it looked like one of those must see "so bad, it's good" type B-Movies. Turns out it is the single worst film I ever watched in my life, and the producers should be ashamed of themselves for failing this badly to make something watchable. It played like a middle of the road porn movie, only with most of the sexy parts cut out. The scenes dragged, as though there was no script (or the actors struggled to remember their lines), the death scenes were tame to say the least, and the laughs few and far between, the Shower scene the only real out loud moment. The weird Hambo thing at the beginning was promising, maybe if they ran with that as the killer it could have worked. Avoid if you value your time!
