Battlecock!

About This Movie

So, 'Battlecock!' is one of those quirky flicks that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s about sibling rivalry cranked up to eleven, with the Dukinson brothers having a hilarious showdown against the Krullmuller sisters. The humor's a bit absurd, with a lot of slapstick and some rather inventive practical effects that really stand out, which gives it a distinct charm. The pacing is uneven at times, but that’s part of its charm—there’s a raw energy that feels like an indie passion project. The performances have this offbeat vibe, almost like the actors are having as much fun as the audience. It’s definitely a film you don’t see every day, just for that unique blend of chaos and comedy.

'Battlecock!' has a limited print run, which makes it a bit scarce for collectors. Many are drawn to its oddball premise and the fact that it exists in that niche of indie comedies that are a bit more hard to find. The DVD version was released in small batches, and you might stumble across it at conventions or specialty shops, but it’s not something you’ll come across every day. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for if you're into obscure titles.
