"A French midget king of the sixth dimension, complete with his two battling wives and a slew of topless concubines, capture unwitting commoners, including Squeezit Henderson the Chicken Boy."
With "that" Danny Elfman. The one who's all over Hollywood soundtracks these days.
Danny Elfman's outlandish 1980 film "Forbidden Zone" has to be seen to be believed, and if you are not at least slightly demented you should probably pass on the seeing part. Imagine a cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", with lots of animation in the style Monty Python's Flying Circus and the rubbery Max Fleischer cartoons of the 1930's (which probably inspired much of the original Monty Python stuff anyway). Also deserving mention is the fact that this relatively low budget black and white film is a musical.There are a lot of characters and the story is somewhat hard to follow so here is what I hope is a helpful summary. The Hercules family (father, mother, son, daughter, and grandfather) live in a house with a door to the Sixth Dimension a/k/a The Forbidden Zone (think Wonderland). Their daughter Frenchy (think Alice) and son Flash (who looks like third stooge Joe Besser in a cub scout uniform) go to school one day. When a gunfight erupts in the classroom Frenchy runs home.
Tripping on a roller skate she tumbles through the door into a large intestine and ends up in the sixth dimension, which is ruled by a King and Queen of dice-used instead of wonderland's playing cards. There are a lot of half-dressed wonderland type characters down there although only the Frog Footman looks the same. There is a shapely princess who runs around topless, a living chandelier that eventually decays into just a skeleton, a devil (Elfman) who is like Cab Calloway playing the Cheshire Cat, and a rival queen.
Frenchy's family and one of her classmates go into the Forbidden Zone to attempt a rescue. The film is a mix of live action and animation. The editor deserves a lot of credit because the whole thing is sequenced quite well and even has a strange unity. There are racist stereotypes (generally too silly to be offensive), lively swing music, and sets that look to have been painted and constructed by a third grade art class.
Bingo!
...Totally not PC. I loved the movie though..."
Actually, it WAS totally PC. He meant for his character to be a negative stereotype. That's why hollywood lauded him for being so "brave" to play such a groundbreaking role. When viewed that way, he has conformed to Hollywoods' liberal thought code 100%.
Clint is a liberal tool.
I like the movie, though. Learned a few new racial epithets, and heard a few oldie-but-goodies, so much so that I backed up the movie, replayed it, and had to explain to my young wife the etymology of some of the older terms. A lot of WW2-era terms, which I found almost comical.
"Zipperneck"? Oh come on, that's a classic right there, if only because no one knows what it means!
Zulu...
Lot’s of kindly indigenous people get snuffed.
“Bad Santa” is disgusting and unwatchable, but I wouldn’t call it politically incorrect.
Good point.
For a Liberal - I’d imagine the Passion of the Christ is very politically incorrect.
I just looked at the wiki article.....
he directed and produced The Passion of the Christ, a controversial[2] but successful.....
Fans of “Red Dawn” will be sorry to hear that a remake is in the works and you can bet it won’t be the least bit distasteful to Michael Moore and friends.
A truly PI movie is “Ride with the Devil”.
Shows that Confederates weren’t totally evil, racist, redneck dumbasses and black men served in the CSA army. Lib film critics would have burnt it if they could have...one of the best movies of the past 10 years or so.
Complete with puppet sex..

Well, if you’re going to list the “Flint” movies - Don’t forget Matt Helm.
bump
Life of Brian is totally un-PC.
Birth of a Nation?
Charles Bronson vigilante series.
Sorry to break this to you but nobody cares about being politically correct.
Your right. How can I forget Dino.
The only reason this movie is politically incorrect here in the US is because they show the former slaves, still living on the plantation, as happy, likeable and in some cases even noble people.
Here is a fairly accurate synopsis of the plot: Song of the South
