Ladies and Gentlemen, The Trailer for the R-rated Banana Splits Horror Movie

[Qonundrum]

What the fuck did I just watch?

Something with Shari Lewis (Lambchop!!) and Jay North (Dennis the Menace) doing vocals... Fouad Said as well, he pioneered efficiencies in location filming techniques for international filming for a TV show (Look up what he did for "I Spy"). Kinda cool having them all and others involved in such a televised nightmare...

original.

Like I said above, watching that would give any adult who saw it as a kid some real nightmares. Possibly because Richard Donner directed it. And at least get Davy Jones to do the bloody vocals, he stays on key... the mon key...

The Brady Bunch was a serious show?

I normally hate reboots, the only ones that worked for me were BSG and the aforementioned TBB, but this one I'll go see. It does, as Greg Cox above stated, look perversely funny - or it's the sort of absolutely warped thinking I either appreciate or commit.

Actually, as long as you have a cable TV package that includes Syfy, and/or a DVD/Blu-Ray player, you don't need to go anywhere. It's airing on Syfy, and coming to DVD/Blu-Ray.

The Brady Bunch was a serious show?

There was The Bradys, an hour long soapy nighttime drama that aired on CBS in 1990, for 5 episodes...

Oh, that was just bad. The premise just wasn't that flexible.

Who was this made for? I don't think anyone under 40 is familiar with the Banana Splits. I'm only vaguely aware that it exists because of Cartoon Networks ads from the 90s, but have no idea what it was like.

It was terrible.

If you can appreciate Killer Klowns this should be great.

I loved the Banana Splits as a kid - I also loved the little Hanna-Barbera excerpts such as The Three Musketeers - and only recently I had the theme as my ringtone. I have to be honest when I first saw the trailer I thought it was some fan thing that someone knocked up on their computer, I didn't realise it was straight up. As for other reboots in the same vain, how about the Perils of Penelope Pit-Stop? Those death-traps would take on a whole new edge and the Ant-Hill Mob and Chugga-Boom could be genuine gangsters.

So let me get this straight: Baby Boomers and a handful of Gen-X'ers who liked these full size puppet shows in 1969 decided to look at an old video, got really terrified over the proceedings, and then decided to revamp the kid show as a horror flick?

Not surprised. Since the 1990s, certain people have made it a habit of trying to subvert/reinterpret children's programming, whether in print (see old issues of Film Threat) or on film. I sense it will fail, but it will not stop others from attempting to do that same to other old properties.

If you're under 40 (or maybe 20-30) you might be familiar with this:

My nephew and niece exposed me to this and it seems it was quite the popular phenomenon. It didn't hurt that it was ideal for those let me show you me acting like a jackass while I play streaming videos.

Add the Banana Splits, and you get ready made costumes, a theme song tailor made to get under your skin and the chance to trigger the people who do remember. If anything, this film missed its window and probably should've come out four years ago if they wanted to hit the peak of the game's popularity.

It's made for horror hounds who's father taped a fuck ton of The Banana Splits one day when a marathon randomly happened in the early '90s (for some weird fucking reason), believing that his kids would get a kick out of it.

So, basically just me and my sisters.

Will the TV version of this be different from the DVD and/or Blu-Ray version?

 

[jbny67]

The R rating would lead me to believe they will be different.

Syfy's dropped the occasional "fuck" in The Expanse and Happy! (and, I think, 12 Monkeys and The Magicians), plus both Happy! and Channel Zero were very much rated TV-MA. It wouldn't at all surprise me if they air this uncut.

Wynonna Earp managed a "fuck" or two as well.

Heck, you can even say "fuck" on Lifetime now.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Just don't show no boobies...

I think this is a Syfy (co-?)production so the material will be probably be close to what will air. Violence on TV these days is pretty much R-level anyway. I've seen throats cut and beheadings on shows on network primetime. I'm old enough to remember when it was really naughty when they said "ass" on Married With Children (yet at the same time the n-word could be openly unbleeped).

 

[JD]

When it comes to violence & gore for me the big one is Bones, I still can't believe just how gory some of their deaths got.

Was that Jan Michael Vincent on the Danger Island episode?? I don't remember him on that!
