The Texas Comedy Massacre

About This Movie

The Texas Comedy Massacre is quite the oddball from 1987, isn't it? This anthology weaves together sketches that poke fun at 60's and 70's TV shows, which is a unique angle. You'll find parodies of things like Star Trek and Jacques Cousteau's aquatic adventures, all stitched together in a way that feels chaotic but oddly charming. The pacing is all over the place, but that's part of its charm—each segment seems to have its own vibe, which keeps you on your toes. Practical effects are used in a delightfully over-the-top manner, really enhancing those comedic moments. The performances vary, but there's a certain earnestness that shines through. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and maybe that’s what makes it stand out in a sea of 80's comedies.
