Is Quentin Tarantino Jealous?.......2007-02-07

This is the second LBP I've watched, and I had a better time than with any number of expensive Hollywood 'blockbusters'. Here's what you gotta do: ignore the lack of actual sets and other normal movie stuff, and accept that Teen Ape is a guy (at least, I assume so) wearing an ape mask. Let Go Thy Preconceptions that an entertaining film means the film makers having to spend actual money on it.

If you like South Park and the Simpsons, odds are, this is for you.

This is a parody of the Kill Bill movies, but far better than any number of Saturday Night Live sketches. It's fair to say I got more laughs per minute with Mulva 2 than I did out of a whole Saturday Night Live show. Part of the laughs come from it all being an injoke.

I liked the Kill Bill movies, by the way.

Mulva 1 (which I am halfway thru) involved a delightfully dorky girl, a continual chocolate smear on her lips, who goes out for Halloween night to get her beloved candy. Unfortunately, there are some zombies in the way. That film was amateurish--the acting is, uh, variable--but that's part of the charm.

In Mulva 2, five years have passed. Mulva was put into a coma by a fiendish gang of, well I'm not sure of what. When she wakes up, she wants revenge. When she wakes up, she is also a different actress. Apparently the original actress was not available, so Chris Seaver, the writer/director, got an actual actress from Troma Films (and who was in the original Mulva in a secondary role), Debbie Rochon. No offense to the other actors, but Rochon clearly has experience & tons of presence. She has exactly the right tone: she takes none of the film seriously. There is also a running gag about how the more statuesque Rochon has "filled out" while being in a coma.

There isn't much of a plot, so don't worry about spoilers.
Basically, Mulva goes through Bill's (Teen Ape's) evil crew, and finally reaches him at the end, for a showdown. Along the way, Seaver deftly parodies key scenes in the Kill Bill films. Somehow the lack of money adds to the fun. And there's plenty of gore--people lose their heads, and I don't mean emotionally--but it's so silly it becomes a great joke (as opposed to the serious violence in Kill Bill).

And, at about 65 minutes, Seaver moves the film briskly along. It simply does not have time to drag.

This is recommended for anyone who does not have a Teen Ape up his/her butt, and can get in on the joke.

MULVA DOES IT AGAIN!.......2006-04-23

ok let me start off by saying I would have given it 5 stars and it realy does deserve 5 stars if only it had been the original actress. . MISSY DONATUTI playing MULVA but alas they couldn't get Missy so they went for the ever beautiful and amazing DEBBIE ROCHON, and used the 5 year coma she was in to explain the transormation.. and yeah I love how they joke about her being a WHOLE NEW MULVA throughout the movie.

Ok where to start..

Chris Seaver writer and director has said that his original idea for MULVA II was to have MULVA face off with the Wolf-Man, The Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, The Mummy, The Creature etc. in a MONSTER SQUAD style film using the original actress MISSY DONATUTI.. when that didnt' happen he dropped the idea completely then was asked later by TEMPE video to do MULVA II and asked for some ideas.. he pitched the idea I just mentioned as well as a KILL BILL parody... they liked the above idea so of course he opted to do the KILL BILL parody.. I would love to have seen the other idea and can only hope for a THIRD mulva..

on to the review..

if you've seen theoriginal MULVA you know how overacted and obsurd everything can be as well as the low budget and quality of the film and effects used.

MULVA II finds us with better quality video, effects and actors. Sticking somewhat closely to scenes from KILL BILL done only the way CHRIS SEAVER can.. I guarantee you'll love every minute of this..

DEBBIE does a great job mixing the original MULVA's personality with THE BRIDE from KILL BILL and the other actors rock making fun of the varios characters from Kill Bill.

The end fight scene with TEEN APE.. if those remember the boring ass dialog rich final climax between the BRIDE and BILL never fear this is not boring..

this one grabs you by the bloody balls and runs for the hills..

They completely drop the KILL BILL parody and start TRIBUTING another famous VERSES BATTLE! I'm not going to say which one.. but yeah...

you'll like it..

CHRIS SEAVER does it again..

It's AMAZING

uhm.. yeah MULVA III come on!

For fans of Horror Comedy by fans of Horror Comedy.......2005-03-18

First off, if you're expecting Kill Bill, well just don't. This is ultra low budget filmmaking the LBP way.

There's a world of cinema that exists just outside of Hollywood, Sundance, and Cannes. It's a world of truly independent cinema, a world of Troma, of ifilm, of Low Budget Pictures. This is where Chris Seaver lives and makes movies. For Chris, the films aren't about huge budgets, amazing acting and technical wizardry, but entertainment made by fans, for fans. If this flick makes you laugh, Chris did his job; if it didn't and you didn't like it, then that's fine too. I'm sure Chris would be happy just knowing you gave it a try. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks, Chris does what he loves doing, and does his best to make a living doing it. Can anyone really ask for more?

In this sequel to Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker, we find a brand new Mulva just out of a sugar induced 5-year coma. Her lisp is gone, her ears are pierced, and man did she ever grow some boobs. Her mission? To track down and kill those responsible for stealing five years of her life, and her bag of Halloween candy too. If you're at all familiar with the LBP world you won't be disappointed. We get to see everyone from Heather and Puggly, to Bonejack and Teenape, and a very special appearance by a guy who very nearly looks like the pumped sax-playing rocker from The Lost Boys. There's a ton of in-jokes (Plastique anyone?) and a ton of Kill Bill influenced sight gags.

What surprised me the most what for all of Chris's supposed technical disinterest this is the best-looking LBP feature ever. The editing and titles are worlds better than before, and the opening sequence (mirroring the opening of Kill Bill) is in my opinion of very professional quality.

Everyone in the cast turns in very fun, entertaining performances, in particular Jason McCall and Meredith Host (who pulls almost triple duty). Debbie does a great job channeling a weird mixture of The Bride and the previous Mulva, to make a very fun new character that for once IS the hot chick on the cover of the box.

If ultra-low budget filmmaking, guillo-dildos and fart-beheadings are your thing, this won't disappoint.
