Disco Godfather

Being a huge Rudy Ray Moore fan has its advantages and

drawbacks. An advantage is that the nice people at Xenon Video

have assembled his greatest (and only) films in a box set. A

drawback is that I don't have any friends left after forcing them to sit

through all the films, the most harrowing of which is the Avenging

Disco Godfather. An initial question must be asked, Did they only have to pay for the

amount of the script that was audible? I love waka-jawaka music

as much as the next extremely funky individual, but I can't help but

think that I missed some vital pieces of exposition because of the

thumping soundtrack. Particularly near the beginning when Bucky

and his girlfriend go outside to have a moist make-out session in

front of the Blueberry Hill. Then the "bad guys" pull up in that car...

oh my god!. Did you see that car? It had a conference table, a wet

bar, a fully operational disco ball - with disco, and a complete

finished basement! How I miss the 70's, when all cars were

bigger than my old dorm room, including the "economy compacts." Anyway... I've used up all my space and didn't even get to mention

Rudy Ray's fantastic costumes. I can't help but believe that the

costume designer funded the film, and that's why the hideous

sequined outfits serve as such important plot devices. The fat old

Elvis would've been embarassed to wear them. Oh, and please don't reveal the secret ending to your friends. You

know, the one that lacks any sense of plot resolution. Yeah... that

one. Oy! Enjoy, and please remember to Attack the Wack. Thank

you.
