    You know what I love about that Dan Akroyd Larry King quote: "I don't think we will ever have a formal relationship with any alien species out there. Especially after 9/11"
    His character Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters would say that exact sentence, and it'd be totally in character.

  • @ironyman7214

    Believe it or not, this movie is loosely based on one of Dan Ackroyd's real life experiences. He claims that he was pulled over for speeding late one night in the middle of nowhere. Instead of handing him a ticket, the cop insisted Dan follow him through the woods to an isloated, creepy old mansion. Once inside, the cop introduced him to "the Judge", an extremely odd and eccentric older lady, who kept Dan there for hours and hours just to talk to him, before finally letting him go. The Judge did not have a penis for a nose. Source: "Wild and Crazy Guys" by Nick de Semlyen. A good read, check it out.

    I remember seeing part of this on tv as a kid in the mid-90s. My parents and relatives had it on and they knew it wasn't appropriate for me to watch but the movie only had another 30-45 minutes so they had me go read some books and play with toys instead. I was at my grandparents house so the books there were new to me too, one was this giant book about the history of Mexican art, a lot of which was heavy on macabre imagery, especially Francisco Goitia
    and José Guadalupe Posada
    . (I was relived when I stumbled upon the colorful work of Frida Kahlo
    toward the end of the book) What I did see of the movie was so bizarre and I didn't recognize anyone at the time, so I struggled for years to figure out what it was. After awhile I wondered it was a fever dream I retroactively assumed was a movie, especially since in that same couple hours I had visually devoured a lot of surreal artwork. It wasn't another 15 years before I came across this. I haven't watched the whole film since but what I have seen is interesting, it's a bit less strange than I expected but still very, very weird for something that isn't a more artsy indie flick - especially considering the cast and budget.

    The movie was produced to be R rated, one of the biggest reasons the plot has so many holes and oddities is because the studio left a ton of good stuff on the cutting room floor to get it down to PG-13.

I only remember little bit's of this movie but for some reason it always stuck with me. I thought many time's I found the film like with the crazy house in The People Under The Stairs and the mutants with the movie Freaks but I knew they wasn't the movie I was looking for.

    Look up the music video for that Digital Underground song. Not only does Dan Aykroyd cameo in the video, but he is seen standing next to Dr. Dre and Eazy-E while dressed as a member of NWA. He’s not in blackface, thankfully.
    And the sad thing is that for all of the passion and creativity Dan Aykroyd poured into this movie, he refuses to talk about it these days. There was a movie critic who was interviewing him for an oral history of GHOSTBUSTERS, and the interview went so well that the critic asked him if he’d ever be up to participating in an oral history of another film of his. Aykroyd cheerfully asked “What film would that be?” The critic answered it was NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, because he wanted to find out how this weird ass movie came to be. Aykroyd dropped the cordial tone and interrupted the critic before he finished the question: “That would be a terrible waste of time, I think we’re done, thank you.” Then Aykroyd immediately hung up the phone. End of conversation.
    Update 2023: On the Blu-ray features for Nothing But Trouble, Aykroyd says he's actually proud of the movie and its cult following, so there's now a touching sidenote to this story.

    I have never ever wanted to see a movie this badly. Thank you for showing me this.
