Evil Bong 3: Wrath of Bong

Yeah, I'm very curious about this one. I hope it's just a fun movie like the first two. Loved how raunchy the King Bong was in part 2, so I'm curious to see what the Alien Bong is all about personality-wise. Pretty cool the youtube videos will be on the dvd. Did they ever announce which video promo was the actual winner?

So, had to bribe the wife into watching this with me. Food always works in this situation guys (assuming no female is actually reading this). I had big and fat sausages on somewhat smaller hoagie rolls...added honey mustard...and corn....added butter and black peppers. Then I had to agree to watching the first episode of Jack Of All Trades (we recently got the complete series on DVD). And then we could watch Evil Bong 3: The Wrath Of Bong. Good dinner. Enjoyed seeing Bruce Campbell / Jack Of All Trades again. Wish I had good words to say about this movie. Hardly any.

Boring! Here's a rule Band should have not forgotten; Stoner comedy means making a film that's funny, centering around marijuana.

Plenty of mention about pot. All that was good. Some of the visuals were cool looking. The story with human involvement was the boring part. a BIG reason for this due to nothing humorous ever happening. A few laughs here and there; inside jokes on new actors playing established characters.

I let my wife bail out. About 2/3's through. I almost fell asleep several times. And yes, to enlighten the festivities, I was good and medicated. That and the food as well as my wife's company was great. The film really sucked. Wish more time was spent on a better story / plot. A major letdown.

Out of ten stars on IMDb, I gave it; six. Tried to show some mercy. Not all was horrible. I liked Jacob Witkin -- Robin Sydney & the newest bong character; Alien Bong.

Was thinking of trying to view the film again just to see if I get the same reaction. I do mostly enjoy films directed by Band. Maybe one of these days I'll give it another try?

Wow never thought Full Moon could make an entry in this series boring. Maybe the person that came up with the plot during the movie title contest should've given us a better story haha.

How was the alien bong compared to the hilarious king bong? I'm curious about the personality of the alien bong.

Sucks that this one was a disappointment for you. I'll find out about it myself whenever Full Moon decides to ship out my labor day package.

Nothing that cried for more. OK...but not as good as the other two bong characters.

I forgot to mention that I liked seeing Amy Paffrath again (cameo), as well as Sonny Carl Davis.

Saw this last night. As others have said, it is a bit of a letdown. Although I loved the Alien Bong, it was the best part of the movie to me. COuld of been better utilized by far. It's not terrible, but it isn't great. The first is still my favorite by far. It was nice to see all the characters return too. Allistar is the only character that is different in every movie haha

Got my Labor Day package today, so I decided to watch this first. As Magic and Doc said, this movie could've been better. The Alien Bong was alright as it doesn't have too many hilarious insults, nor does it really come off too interesting. Better dialogue and it would've been a cool character. Not bad, but nothing special as they said.

The characters were cool as usual. Some funny lines here and there. I like how these characters seem to somewhat evolve with each movie and it keeps things interesting. Rabbit was hilarious and I hope they have him give sermons in the next movie haha.

Overall, movie was decent, but the weakest of the series. I still like King Bong the best out of the series. Wonder if we'll get another actor to play Allistar in part 4 just for the hell of it haha.

Also cool that I got on the Executive Producer's Credit listing too.

I'm going to be critical, but not because of any bitterness over them leaving my name out as an exec producer even though I have a card stating I'd be there.

As I watched I kept wondering why it looked like it was shot with a Handycam, and then I remembered I was watching the 2D version of a 3D movie and it's always best to shoot deep focus for the effect.

Charlie is a darned good director and Danny Draven is a talented editor so there's not much to pick on as far as the technical aspects (other than the really cheesy day for night shot at the start).

What it comes down to is story. Or rather lack of story.
I guess it's because the point of making the movie was to showcase the 3D but it ended up looking more like an episode of PeeWee's Playhouse. "Look! Here comes another character! Come on in and talk and then take a hit on the big bong! Look! Here's Robyn Sydney in an apparent cameo! Come up to the counter set and tell your jokes and get out!" Intersperse that with pointing things at the camera to justify the rental of that massive two camera 3D rig.

That's about as critical as I'm going to be. After all, the characters are likable, the acting is much improved over the last two movies, and when I finally get to see it in 3D I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot more.

One nitpick though, towards the end when the characters are sitting around the head shop (after the 76 minute mark) you can see a member of the production crew.
As the camera pans to the right and away from the table you'll spot someone's unruly head of hair popping up in the lower right part of the screen.
I had to watch it twice to make sure it wasn't a hairy couch or other set piece.

I don't want to give anything away to those that haven't seen it, but the ending or at least the resolution to the problem was a little unsatisfying.
Maybe they'll sort it out in the next movie.

And I'm not upset at all that I didn't get my credit

A Blooper?

Beginning of the film. Guy is burying his wife in broad daylight. The ship holding the Alien Bong crash lands on Earth.

Note: I wonder to myself. I say self, why did the ship have to crash? We assume the spacecraft made it safely all the way from it's home planet. Why could it just have landed? Really, you go through all that preparation. Build a working spaceship. And what's the plan for when you arrive after all that distance? You crash of course. Who would volunteer for that mission?

Anyway, the ship is falling in the night sky. It shows a full moon (my guess is it's on purpose; companies logo).

Next scene here comes the wife killer, and it's daylight again. There he was burying his dearly departed. He stops working with the shovel when he hears something strange. There is a crash. By foot, he makes it over to the site. All in broad daylight.

Weird huh? Add the "unruly head of hair" Neil spotted. Makes for two bloopers. Anyone else notice anymore?

PS: For the record, I don't hate this movie. It does it's job; entertains. I like the characters. The actors. I'm just thinking, it could have been better. It's been said; the writing / storyline. I tend to agree with Neil.

I wonder if seeing it in 3D, the way it was intended....incorporating the smell-a-vision...having a nice buzz....could have made it better / more enjoyable anyway?
