The Mad Foxes (1981)
Review by Tim-O



Directed by Paul Grau
Starring: Robert O’Neal
Do you remember the first time you watched an Ed Wood movie? You probably started out thinking , ”Man! What the hell is this? This is terrible “! Then, after about 5 or 10 minutes, you found yourself laughing your head off. That is best way to describe my experience watching “The Mad Foxes”.

The Mad Foxes is all about revenge, I guess. Basically, a guy named Hal (who drives a KICK ASS Stingray) takes his girlfriend out for her birthday. After a stupid confrontation with the goofiest biker gang since The Black Widows from “Every Which Way But Loose”, Hal ends up running one of the gang members off the road and killing him. The gang waits for the couple outside of some bizarre club packed with weird spliced in swing dancing and more mustaches, feathered hair, and bad disco music you can shake a stick at. The bikers attack Hal and rape the girlfriend outside the club. Hal decides to exact revenge on the gang with help from his buddy who runs a karate school. The bikers and karate guys have a completely ridiculous fight and the lead biker gets castrated. Now it’s the gang’s turn for some more revenge. That’s the plot, at least what little plot there is.

The Mad Foxes is an epic “so-bad-it’s good” classic and wears the early 80’s cheese right on it’s sleeve. It even has some early Krokus music in it! It’s full of bad dubbing, terrible dialogue, random naked people and really clumsy gory violence. No one says or does anything that makes any sense throughout the entire film. There isn’t one scene that doesn’t leave you laughing at the insanity you’ve just witnessed. From the beginning until the end you’ll be in awe of the movie’s ineptness and I’m NOT exaggerating. It’s the funniest bad movie I’ve seen since “The Apple”.

If you’re into bad funny movies, track “The Mad Foxes” down and invite some friends over. This movie is just screaming to be turned into some kind of drinking game. It’s incomprehensible, bloody and utterly bizarre. I loved it! 9/10
