Review – Pass the Ammo

Though this movie was a great deal more timely when it first came out (right around the time of the infamous Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart scandals), it still endures as a comedy masterpiece. Aside from Tim Curry’s flamboyant performance as Rev. Ray the crooked televangelist, the cast is good without being great. The production values could only charitably be described as cheap. But the script is an amazing piece of work, as clever as it is sarcastic and irreverent. Though it probably isn’t one of the greatest films ever made, it is an excellent choice for anyone in search of a silly, cynical bit of brain candy. If nothing else, it’s worth seeing just for one of the most memorable lines in movie history (though decency forbids me to say more than that). Buy the tape
