Trog is okay. But SCHLOCK is awesome!
I saw a Trog VHS for a buck at the discount store a couple of months ago, but I didn't grab it. Schlock (Landis' "spoof" of Trog) is really much more fun. |

SCHLOCK was young John Landis' first feature, from 1972, and he wore a missing link costume created by a young Rick Baker (and the suit/makeup still looks great today). Yes: Landis played the title character, the "Schlockthropus," and directed most of the movie WHILE WEARING THE COSTUME.
This movie is completely insane and very funny. Baker appears in a cameo, playing a kid walking on crutches who gets pushed over by the ape creature. |
And it is one of those movies that's so much fun, I would love to hand out free copies to everyone. But the cheapest DVD I can find for sale of this is like sixty dollars, and even on VHS it's pretty pricey, around twenty.

I had the Schlock DVD at one point...
Wish I could find a copy of See You Next Wednesday though... |
Ah yes, Schlock, the banana monster. Haven't seen it in years. Does it have a current DVD release in the US or is it out of print? Certainly not available in Australia. I saw it probably in the early 80's on TV late one night. Never had the chance to see it again :(
