Evil Bong

Plot synopsis:
Nerdy college student Alistair McDowell (David Weidoff) moves in with law school drop-out Larnell (John Patrick Jordan), typical "surfer-stoner" Bachman (Mitch Eakins) and former baseball player Brett (Brian Lloyd). During Alistair's stay, Larnell sees an ad for a large bong, in which the previous owner claims it was "possessed". After receiving the bong and taking a couple of hits (with the exception of Alister, who doesn't smoke), Brett introduces Alister to his girlfriend Luann (Robin Sydney) and her friend Janet (Kristyn Green), on whom Alister develops a crush.
Later that night, Bachman wakes up in a strip club where he meets Ooga Booga and Ivan Burroughs. He's introduced by one of the strippers (Kristen Cladwell) who has skull heads on the cups of her bra. When he comes near the bra, the skull heads start biting him in the neck and he bleeds to death. The next morning, the other roommates find Bachman dead on the couch. Alistair tells to them that it's probably from the weed that came with the bong. Larnell also notices that the bong has changed. The trio then hide his body underneath a pile of trash in the basement, after nearly getting caught by Larnell's paralyzed-but-wealthy grandfather, Cyril (Jacob Witkin), who came by to tell Larnell that he just got remarried.
Later on, the bong (voiced by Michele Mais) starts speaking to Larnell (to Larnell only, no one else hears) and tempts him to take a hit out of her. After doing so, he ends being in the same strip club as before. Here he sees Bachman (who seems to be fine), the Gingerdead Man, and his grandfather. Eventually a stripper gives Larnell a lap dance, and he's killed in a similar way that Bachman was killed. Back in the real world, Luann and Janet come over to play Trivial Pursuit. After playing the game, the group (again with the exception of Alister) take a hit from the bong. After Brett and Luann pass out, they wake up in the same strip club and they're greeted by Jack Attack, and Luann is taken away by the bouncer. Brett is then treated by another stripper (Brandi Cunningham), who happens to be Brett's ex-girlfriend Carla Brewster. She eventually uses her lip-cupped bra to bite off Brett's genitals, killing him.
Meanwhile, when Alistair starts figuring out what's going on, Janet falls prey to the bong and passes out. A man named Jimbo Leary (Tommy Chong) randomly enters the room and proclaims that the bong is his. He also explains that the bong (named Eebee) has a voodoo curse on it and that once you take enough hits from it, it brings you to the "Bong World" (the strip club) and kills you. In order to save Janet, Alistair takes a hit from the bong and is instantly sent to the bong world. Meanwhile, Jimbo tries destroying the bong with a hammer, chainsaw, and (resorting to drastic measures) a bomb. Eebee unleashes marijuana smoke from her bong, causing Jimbo to inhale and pass out.
Meanwhile, in the Bong World, Eebee forces the strippers to seduce Alistair, but he breaks them off. During his search, he bumps into Jack Deth. Once he finds a stoned Janet, Eebee reveals her motives: to control the world by turning everyone into stoners by turning the air into pot smoke and the oceans into bong water. They take "vitamins" (that Jimbo gave them) to make them sober again. Jimbo, who has just got sucked into the bong world, tells them to go ahead and escape while he takes care of Eebee. Jimbo comes up to Eebee and shows Eebee the time bomb now strapped to his chest. Jimbo activates the bomb and blows up Eebee and apparently Jimbo himself. Back in the real world, Alistair and Janet wake up, with Larnell, Brett, Luann, and Bachman coming back to life. Jimbo, however, has been killed, along with the bong, which is now shattered into pieces. Alistair and Janet remember what had happened previously in the Bong World, but the rest of the group doesn't seem to remember right away. The last scene shows that Jimbo is now the king of the Bong World.

Review:
I was at Charles Band's Full Moon Horror Road Show a couple weeks ago and managed to score a free copy of Evil Bong, due to be released October 24th.
Kristyn Green, who plays Janet in the movie, was in attendance and they were auctioning off a prop of Eebee, the evil bong.If you're not familiar with Full Moon Features, they're headed by B-movie veteran Charles Band, and are mostly responsible for direct to video features the likes of Subspecies, the Puppet Master series, and Castle Freak.
He has managed to do that by using film and incorporating decent soundtracks to his features.One part movie, one part marketing device; Evil Bong features cameos from several Full Moon features including Jack Deth of Trancers, Phil Fondacaro of Decadent Evil, Ooga Booga from Doll Graveyard, and I believe a jack-in-the-box from Demonic Toys.
That is when the user finds themselves in the bong world, populated by strippers both topless and in Band's Monster Bras, as well as other characters from Full Moon Features.The bong's previous owner, Jimbo Leary (Tommy Chong), shows up to do battle with the bong if he can just keep it together long enough..
I read a review of beerfest where evil bong was mentioned and thought that sounds like the sort of movie I like to torture my hon with and looked it up, yes it sounded perfect.
A couple of days later we sat down to watch it and it was just like it sounded, but in saying that I have to also say I was more amused and entertained by it than the last half dozen movies I've seen.
The basic premise is into a flat\dorm full of adolescent male stoner\muscle man\surfer types a nerd is introduced, hijinks ensue, the difference is an evil bong that tries to kill the foursome by sucking their souls after a session.
The acting was so so and the special effects what ones there were weren't that impressive but it was really funny in places and tommy chongs cameo at the end was worth the wait.
On one hand, I just couldn't get the ridiculous idea of a killer bong out of my head, but I wasn't sure it would be good because of the downward spiral of Full Moon lately.To my surprise, Evil Bong was entertaining, funny, and a return to the roots of what made the Full Moon films so great in the first place.The performances in Evil Bong are all what you'd expect, but the actors in this film deliver just a little bit more.
The plot and dialogue are simply preposterous, which is what makes it such a likable movie.If the next Full Moon picture is anything like Evil Bong ended up, I'll be buying the DVD the second it hits the shelves.
I watched this and was absolutely terrified at the level of acting and scriptwriting that 'Evil Bong' has presented.Out of all the stoner movies I have watched, Evil Bong comes last, and it will probably always come last, whatever I watch, because this is one of the worst films of all time.The characters are so poor it makes me cringe even when I think back to it, god knows why I even watched the whole thing.
I can even go as far as to say how offensively stupid this movie is, and portrays the whole marijuana culture as one big rubbish tip.Even the star appearance of Tommy Chong could save this one i'm afraid..
This movie is pretty much self explanatory, just like "Snakes On A Plane" This movie is these people who get a bong, that is nothing but pure evil, and it sucks in the people, into a "trip" where they are at a strip club, and things go their way, until they get like "killed" The movie idea, is pretty dumb, and the story is pretty lame, but the actors and the actions make it better...
Not Bad. Once I put aside my resentment of upper middle class white youth who chose to have nothing better to do with their time than waste their parent's resources by getting high and probably failing college I actually got into this.The story in a nutshell is three college dorm students who seek ultimate highs by purchasing and using a bong that is possessed by an evil spirit.That's the set up and I'll leave it there for those that haven't seen it yet.I'll say that the movie reminded me of Roger Corman's Little Shop of Horrors.The performances were decent enough.I enjoyed the guest spots especially Tim Thomerson with his Jack Deth persona.But he was wasted in this because Tim Thomerson is an amazingly amusing comic actor when he chooses those roles such as that of the shock comic in Eddie Presley.I think the highlight of the film is the actress Michele Mais as the voice of the Evil Bong and Tommy Chong as Jimbo Leary.The rapport between those two were an absolute riot!
Straight laced college student Alistair (David Weidoff) moves in with a trio of stoners, one of whom purchases a bong from a seller in High Times, a bong that turns out to be an ancient, evil entity (voiced with relish by Michelle Mais) determined to put the whole human race in a permanent stupor.
It really hits its stride with the arrival of the perfectly cast Tommy Chong, as Jimbo, the previous owner of the bong (the thing was sold without his knowledge) who knows the dangers of the object.
There are special guest appearances from the likes of Phil Fondacaro (a Full Moon veteran), Tim Thomerson, once again essaying the role of Jack Deth (uttering the immortal line "Dry hair is for squids."), and Bill Moseley, but these guys are seen so briefly one will likely wish the filmmakers gave them more to do.
The appearance of Tommy Chong was what made the movie freaking amazing and I personally think it had a hilarious ending with Tommy and his hot wheels.
The "horror" scenes could be seen coming a mile a way, and when they came, they were severely cheesy, and unfortunately highly laughable for all the wrong reasons, I couldn't believe what I was watching for the most part, it was so bad, I beg you, don't spend any money on going to see this, if you have a friend who already made the mistake of renting or buying it, tag along just to laugh at how cheesy it is.
Compared to other stoner flicks of late,Evil Bong was a sweet surprise, with an original storyline and a refreshing mixture of characters, including the hilarious older relative of one of the men.It was great to see Tommy Chong again - He never disappoints In his classic role as the veteran of all things green- and this is no exception.
It goes without saying, this Movie is a must for any Cheech and Chong fan, and it's hard to tell if you're in 1982 or 2006 at times, when you're watching it.
with a title like evil bong...you'd think it would be good.
When I first saw this movie on the shelve I didn't know what to think, Tommy Chong and an evil bong?
But thankfully my buddy Al said come on lets watch beer fest and follow it up with evil bong and man was he ever right because we where in for one great night of adventure, bong wold was incredible it was like Christmas morning and all my dreams come true how can you beat it a world where strip clubs rule!!!
But I was looking over one of them and noticed the title "Evil Bong." It's the only movie I've ever watched on the disc, and probably the only movie I've ever watched on ant of those DVDs. It's one of those movies were the plot is just so ridiculous, and the budget so low, that you laugh through the entire thing.
If you enjoy the type of movies that are so bad they're good, I would recommend this to you.
EVIL BONG, too, is not without all that makes a Full Moon movie a Full Moon movie, but I could not give it the usual 5 or 6 star rating for a number of reasons.
The rest of the movie basically served as a lame cameo-fest (no character beside the Gingerdead Man has anything memorable or funny to say) and shamelessly plugged Band's completely impractical chain of bras.
After last night, I doubt I'll ever waste that much time to watch it again.If you're one of those "professional stoners" and must have anything to do with weed (or Tommy Chong) than this will certainly make a nice addition to your collection.
And this warning is real: toking up will take the marijuana enthusiast to Bong World, where they encounter strippers who want nothing more than to take your soul.Charles Band is a strange man.
Michelle Mais does the voice of the Evil Bong, which looks mysteriously like the mushroom from "Troll" (another Band-Buechler film).
You're either a genius or nearly retarded.I guess I found the film somewhat enjoyable as far as it being one of those "so bad it's almost good" movies.
Such classics as 'Zone Troopers' & 'Dolls' have now entered into my hall of fame when it comes to my all time favourite Charles Band produced pictures.As we now know, Charles Band's Empire may have crumbled and for over two decades now the vast majority of his output has been hiding behind a Full Moon shadow, only a handful of titles beyond the endless stream of sequels have truly stood out, these being 'Doctor Mordrid' & 'Lurking Fear'.Whatever the downturn in Charles Band's fortunes can be theorised in many ways, we've all read the articles and heard the whispers of his Fagan like approach to business.Now I could claim to be the Charles Band's biggest fan, granted I am a huge admirer of the man and his movies, be they from his Empire heyday or even to the early days of Full moon.Of course my fandom of Mr Band could probably be usurped by someone else out there in fanland, but ever since my first brush with Empire Pictures and a certain movie called 'Ghoulies' I was instantly hooked.However it saddens me to say, that the output being distributed on DVD over the last couple of years has been less than startling.
Yes the titles of these movies have been as ever a major highlight, but the execution has been somewhat lacking.In case anyone wondered, I didn't intend on straying to far from the subject matter at hand, you always need that lead in, and so it that I find myself watching 'Evil Bong' a supposed comedy but still in keeping with Charles Band's fantasy and supernatural themes.To be honest the only original highlight about the movie was the editing courtesy of Danny Draven, and the way he cut between the scenes.As the movie approached the eighteen minute marker I suddenly realised that something was rather amiss, for a stoner comedy, I hadn't laughed.
Another embarrassing feature to 'Evil Bong' was the cameo's from the likes of Phil Fondacaro, Sonny Carl Davis and more importantly the saddest sight of them all the great Tim Thomerson donning the raincoat to essay the role of Jack Deth for a meaningless walk on.Like I said before, I used to watch a Charles Band production because I knew that I was going to be entertained.These days, they can only be viewed with a critical eye and the biggest sigh the world has ever heard!.
First, I must stress that I only saw this flick with the sole purpose of giving a lousy-rated stoner-flick a chance just for the heck of it and I suppose there is no need to mention that I had close to non-existing expectations when I hit the play button on my remote control.Noteworthy is, that the low-budget feeling was definitely evident but not in a charming way such as 'Bad Taste' or anything like it, but more as though they, at times, were trying to put a vile upon the viewer and thus conceal the truth, investing the whole budget in bong equipment and fake ganja while letting the plot develop (without suspension) in a limited number of rooms (I will not tell you how many, as I might spoil your fun watching this).
Not to shed light upon the characters, who were so stereotyped that the producers could never have been expecting even stoners to enjoy their flick, depicting stoners as being utterly dumb and only longing for the next hit and getting zoned out - an illustration of something I cannot imagine too many of us are able to confirm, with that said, keeping in mind that I hang around stoners myself.With the evil bong seizing control over the poor stoners and the way it was depicted, we all burst out of laughter, sort of agreeing in unison that the motives behind the flick were all but to enjoy stoners nor anyone else who might be into stoner flicks.Do yourself a favor and stay away from this flick unless you do not wish to carry out a task as mine defined: "watching a lousy-rated stoner-flick just to be able cry out 'I did it'" aloud - checked.2/10.
Its a good movie, watch it if you like to laugh.
Actually watching one of his movies all the way through seems like a bridge too far though.
Evil Hooka: Simply the Worst Stoner Movie Ever Made.
Tommy Chong makes his entrance a good two thirds through the movie, as if anyone would still be watching, and even he can't save it from poor writing.
The way the movie ends ( tommy chong rolling hotweels cars over stripper's boobs) makes him look like a creep.
The opening review of this movie is titled "Not Bad" and is written by a person who has admittedly never smoked weed.
There are no for last of a better term "real" stoners in this movie minus Tommy Chong who doesn't even have a real big role.
Silly nonsense from Charles Band who takes a very different path directing a supernatural stoner comedy about a malevolent bong with designs on taking over the world by stealing the souls of those who take a hit from "her." Plenty of bizarre hijinks in store.
A couple of Band regulars stop by in cameo roles as those "caught" in the created world of the bong(..a strip club housing girls with fake tits, whose body parts tend to "bite"), trying to find a way out, including Tim Thomerson and Bill Moseley.Three serial pot-smokers take on a new roommate, an amiable chemistry nerd who must save the day when they become victims of the evil bong ordered from the disgruntled wife(never seen) of an ancient stoner(Tommy Chong, working his usual shtick).Very cheap production values as Band shoots only in two locations, the frumpy, untidy flat of the film's male stars(..including David Weidoff, as Alistair, the mild-mannered chemistry major who decides to smoke from the bong to save his love-interest, Janet(Kristyn Green)from within the supernatural confines of the bong's strip joint)and the bong's strip club.
When I seen and read the cover to the movie I thought it would be funny considering Tommy Chong was in it.
And Tommy Chong isn't even in the movie that long.
But it makes it look like he is in the movie the whole time.
Now I am a fan of cheech and chong movies and all that but this wasn't anything like I thought.
This was a funny movie, probably the best stoner movie in a very long time.
Brought to you by Full Moon legend Charles band the company takes on another character and have gone from killer puppets, a psychotic gingerbread man and decapitated shrunken heads to *Drumroll* an evil bong.So a nerdy guy moves into a house with 3 stoners, when one orders a new bong it turns out to be possessed.
If you take a hit she drags you into her world (Which is oddly a strip joint) and you'll never wake up.Now nobody can say I don't watch some really weird films and Evil Bong is really up there.
Clearly it worked as the Evil Bong franchise is ongoing and presently stands at a whopping seven movies!But is it any good?
Evil Bong is stupid in that it knows its stupid kind of way, sadly it's simply not funny enough to pull it off.
Even stoner icon (Thats a thing right?) Tommy Chong can't turn things around and though the film isn't bad it's just not even remotely good either.
For those who give a damn, they include Tim Thomerson (TRANCERS), Bill Moseley (DEVIL REJECTS), Phil Fondacaro (DECADENT EVIL), and the monsters Ooga Booga (DOLL'S GRAVEYARD) and Gingerbread Man.About an hour into this dismal waste of celluloid, Tommy Chong turns up as the bong's original owner, Jimbo Leary.
Whatever his comedic talents, in this movie Tommy Chong was—pardon the expression—wasted.If you enjoyed the mindless teen-sex comedies of the '80s, you might just like EVIL BONG.
I saw this in my local Blockbuster, and seeing that it had stoner movie legend Tommy Chong in it, I had to check it out.As stupid as the jokes were, they were jokes that you didn't have to think about...
those are the kind that are truly enjoyable.I could probably recommend a better movie than this (Idle Hands), but let's not forget that this is a stoner movie.I also just read another comment that said that it might have been pro-terrorism, what with Tommy Chong's character blowing up the bong...
