SPOILERS AHEAD!
PREVIOUSLY ON EVIL BONG
AND NOW...EVIL BONG HIGH 5!
Eebee approaches them and decides to get back on
track with her plan from the first film, which is world domination by having
every one in the world smoke her weed. Problem is, she needs a million dollars in order to
so, so she sends Rabbit, Larnell and the Gingerdead Man out into the real world
at her Magical Dispensary to sell her weed
and collect a million dollars within 30 days. I have no idea how Eebee got this place up and running. As insurance, Velicity and
Sarah are kept in the Bong World and are "tortured" by the Poonishers
(completely separate from the Poontang tribe), and by "tortured", I
mean lap-danced by two topless women. If the men manage to collect one million dollars for Eebee at the end of 30 days, she will let the men go, including the girls. But if they fail, they will never be able to escape the Bong World. Eventually near the end, Velicity and Sarah Leigh manage to get out when they find one of Eebee's portals out of the Bong World, now properly titled "Rabbit Holes". Whether or not if "Rabbit Hole" is a reference to our character Rabbit because he escaped from the Bong World off-screen last film, or if its an Alice in Wonderland reference has yet to be determined. It rather seems to be an excuse to say "Rabbit's Hole" because Rabbit apparently likes to get pleasured there by the Poontang Tribe off-screen.
The rest of the movie follows the same formula as
Evil Bong 420, which is one or all of our male characters interacting
with cameos or background characters from other Full Moon films. All the while, none of them seem to be confused at the sight of a walking, talking Gingerbread cookie, especially David DeCoteau. David DeCoteau
and David Del Valle show up once again to shoot another movie, now with their new friend, Butt
Pirate. Wouldn't DeCoteau be shitting his pants, especially since he was working at Cheatum Studios, directing "Space Spankers 2015" when one of the other cookie incarnations of Millard Findlemeyer went around killing the cast and crew of "Tiny Terrors 9: Purgatory of the Petite" in Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust? I know, people, that its a small detail, and these films aren't exactly the DC or Marvel films, so who fucking cares, right? Well guess what? If the film included that scene of DeCoteau flipping his shit at the sight of the Gingerdead Man, the film would not only have been funnier, but I also could have given it more credit to writing for putting that into the script.
The Heshers from the last film are back as well and
have become celebrity impersonators, paying $5,000 for five little Eebee bongs. And there's a love triangle between the
Gingerdead Man, Hambo, and Candy, who has become Peggy Suey on Hambo's TV show. Hambo bargains with the men, asking for a corner in the store to be able to sell his merchandise of BadAssDolls(.com) of Ooga Booga, Joe Cracker and the Gook. Throughout the movie, he takes pictures of Crack Whore, Butt Pirate and himself, thus allowing him to create all six of his merchandise, meaning this movie, Evil Bong 420 and the crossover film are prequels to Ooga Booga, considering Hambo had all six statues by that film. But that doesn't make any sense since Ooga Booga was in this movie and Evil Bong 420. Hell, Donna from Ooga Booga was in Evil Bong 420 with a date, and when Joe Cracker stole cash from her, Ooga Booga came to her help and stabbed the redneck in the eye with a spear. The only way this makes sense is that the Ooga Booga we saw in the previous film was the Ooga Booga from Doll Graveyard. But even then, that doesn't make sense. Also, the Gingerdead Man has a dream of Candy having sex with Ooga Booga, even though the Gingerdead Man has never come across Ooga Booga in ANY of the previous films.website to purchase Full Moon collectibles. The Evil Bong films are not quality art, I know. They are the farthest from that, but admittedly the first two films were wacky and fun, and I consider them to part of a good, consistent trilogy. The third one had some issues, but overall I could still enjoy it. I'll get into that in a bit. All three of the Evil Bong films were written by the late Brian Domonic Muir, under the pen name August White, and all three of them were directed by Charles Band. I should also mention, Muir and Band wrote and directed the first Gingerdead Man film as well. After the third Evil Bong film began production, Kent Roudebush was hired as screenwriter after Muir passed in 2010, either finishing or rewriting the script Brian Muir wrote. Kent Roudebush's other credits include Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt, Zombies vs. Strippers, and Ooga Booga. I don't know if its Kent himself or Charlies's doing, but the writing and comedy for Evil Bong 3D, the Gingerdead Man crossover, Evil Bong 420, and Evil Bong High 5 have been the main negatives for these movies, and these negatives are the reason why I have yet to see either Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt, Zombies vs. Strippers, or Ooga Booga, because the trailer advertisements for those movies don't intrigue me enough to watch them, just like the trailer advertisements for the Gingerded Man Crossover or the 4th or 5th Evil Bong films. The only reason I watched the crossover, 420 and High 5 is because of how much I liked the first three films, as well as the first Gingerdead Man film.
The Evil Bong franchise is no longer a fun film franchise anymore, and quite frankly, its possibly due to Kent Roudebush's involvement with the franchise. Why have Bachman and Brett become gay with each other all of a sudden off-screen and run a Pilates studio in San Francisco? Why is Alistair, the main character, replaced by Larnell? Probably because actors Mitch Eakins and Brian Lloyd didn't get along with Kent Roudebush on set with the 3rd film, and so he wrote them out when he was assigned the Crossover. And since Alistair is played by a different actor each film, why not write him out as well. Why is Hambo and Ooga Booga randomly appearing in the Evil Bong films? Because they're from Zombies vs. Strippers and Ooga Booga respectively, and Kent Roudebush wrote those films. I swear, if Kent Roudebush touches either the Puppet Master series, or the Killjoy series, I will quit watching Full Moon films. Speaking of Killjoy, get the writer and director of those films, John Lechago, to come and fix THIS franchise up. John Lechago is probably the best thing that has happened to Full Moon this decade, but I'll get into that if I ever do a Killjoy series review.
Overall, the acting is okay (an A effort from the cast), camera work is fine, lighting is fine, and sound mix is good. Music...is the same damn shit from the last few movies. Special effects...I have no idea because nobody dies and there's no bloodshed in this movie. And CGI effects...50/50. The CGI for the Bong World is fine, but the Green Screen background for outside the shop is awful. When Cyril and Jeff exit the shop, you see in the background a street and a building across, yet Cyril and Jeff's shadows are casting over the entire green-screen background. I've seen more effort from Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic videos, and he has less, if not, the same amount of resources Full Moon currently has. I give this movie 3 little Eebee bongs out of 10 nickels worth alone with Crack Whore.
