Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSome of the more explicit gore in the first segment had to be toned down in order to secure an R rating from the MPAA.
- GoofsIn many of the bedroom scenes, daylight appears to be streaming in through the window. Uncle Mike previously complained how late it was.
- Quotes
Uncle Mike: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named "Rachel." Actually, she wasn't all that little. She was a hot-looking high school senior with deep blue eyes, and fine, firm breasts and...
Little Brian: That's not the way Mommy tells it!
Uncle Mike: Shut up, that's the way I tell it.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits are presented as pages in an ancient storybook and it's being turned by a human male hand and it transitions to monstrous hands.
- Alternate versionsIn the UK, approximately 29 seconds were cut to secure an "18" rating. These included some alternate shots of Goldi naked in the shower and a scene where she telekinetically impales a man with a pole.
- ConnectionsEdited into Deadtime Stories: Deleted Scenes (2017)
The first story, about witches, is a wash-out.
The second story, a parody on Little Red Riding Hood, was better paced, but still lacking in any real dramatic thrust(except for that of Red, when she meets up with her boyfriend). This is the one that Scott Valentine is in, and although an improvement on the first story, it still bit the big one.
The third story, however, works. Goldi Lox is a psycho, and the Bears are thieves. This makes for a perfect coupling, until sex comes into play. Then, things get nasty. This segment is the best of the three stories, and maybe if the other two stories had been as strong(and funny), the overall film would've been better.
As it stands, however, DEADTIME STORIES isn't exactly the best way to spend 90 minutes. It is slow in many sections, and the low budget is evident. But, if you don't mind fast-forwarding about an hour, the Goldi Lox story is a real hoot. Otherwise, THE OFFSPRING is a far more superior anthology film.
