Club Dread: Broken Lizard's Satirical 2000s Slasher
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- In the realm of horror, the idea of comedians crafting a slasher film may seem cringe-worthy, but it reflects a shift from the serious tone of iconic horror directors like Carpenter and Craven. The genre, once dominated by figures like Michael and Freddy, evolved in the new millennium, embracing humor. In 2004, Broken Lizard, known for Super Troopers, ventured into horror with "Club Dread," exploring whether it stands among great slashers. Director Jay Chandrasekhar's film is scrutinized to determine if Club Dread deserves a spot as one of the Best Horror Movies You Never Saw!

Club Dread is one of my favorite horror comedies of all time. The Broken Lizard team knocked it out of the park. Bill Paxton is amazeballs.
So many one liners. I have a Coconut Pete vinyl I wish could be autographed. There is another version of this movie that has a couple of detectives that visit the island. The original cut is way better.
@@MrBuketman I gotta agree about theatrical cut is a bit better, especially leaving out the stuff with the real police. Not the f**king fun police. Lmao
Bill Paxton as coconut pete is absolutely priceless in this. The songs are hilarious, the pina colada burg scene kills me every time
Even if you think all the horror elements suck, this movie is a classic if only for Coconut Pete
Coconut Pete Forever
YES GODDAMNIT! YES! YEEEES!! *throws coconut and hits clock*
Thank you sir
@@coconutpete5207 🥹
I'll drink to that! Cheers!
This movie is hilarious but the commentary on DVD with the Broken Lizard guys really make it funnier
And it just sounds like the whole cast had the best time making this. ❤
i'm super stoked you view this as a solid film. it is.
Hanging out with Bill F+CKING Paxton with the Broken Lizard crew, can't imagine how much fun that was.
That would have been a fuckin' party 😂😂
“…and from that day forward, Phil Coletti was forever known as ‘Machete…Phil’”.
Machete Phil or Machete Coletti😅
Yeah...
Club Dread is a very funny and underrated flick, and boy I miss Bill Paxton, dude was so fun and down to earth
absolutely a guilty pleasure for me. I unapologetically love this movie
I’ve always liked this movie. It’s genuinely hilarious. People just need to remember it’s a satire. So it’s 80% comedy, 20% horror.
I also like Slammin Salmon
Me and my friend at work bump Coconut Pete songs at work ALL summer long, no joke. People are constantly like "wtf are you listening to?"
I'm bout to do this now 😂😂
You think Eddie money has to put up with this sh!t.
“Yu and Hank are fucking dead!”
Love this film. It's a well-observed horror comedy. The motorboat scene at the end is well shot and has a great look to it. It's an underrated gem.
This is one of my favorite horror comedies ever. My friends and I have quoted this movie a ton over the last 19 years!
Classic! “Don’t you mean Pina’ Coladaburg?!”
Pina Colada Boulevard is much better than Margaritaville.
Criminally underrated!
This is up there with Transylvania 6-5000 as one of the best horror comedy parodies ever...need I remind you that Brittany Daniel is worth the price of admission alone!
“Eh….coconut?”
I’m a big fan of Broken Lizard, love all their movies.
This is literally one of my all time favorite movies!! I got a poster of it on my wall lol and still watch it every other month or so just for a dose of nostalgia 😂 The whole Broken Lizard crew and Bill Paxton did an absolutely amazing job 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Juan: Yu and Hank are f**king dead
Cocnut Pete: Why what did I do?
This is a classic in my book. It didn’t come to a theater near me but I bought the dvd as soon as it came out and a few years ago found the songs were released on vinyl (7”). My wife and I quote this movie all the time and I agree that this is Broken Lizards funniest movie.
I remember looking forward to Club Dread and then seeing it in a practically empty theater. Such a bummer because I thought the film had so much to offer both horror and comedy fans. The ending was ridiculous with its "unkillable killer" joke though.
The concept people think it's a day late and a buck short to horror parodys when it surpasses those with original characters is baffling
A lot of people don’t understand Club Dread. It’s a slasher with comedic characters acting in funny ways. It’s not a comedy with horror backdrops. It gets funnier the more you watch it.
That's how I feel about Vampire in Brooklyn. People expected a comedy because it's Eddie Murphy. But it's a horror movie that happens to star Eddie and has some jokes added. Super underrated. And I think Eddie was doing his thing to make horror a little more diverse.
Cant ever read the name Penelope properly ever again because of this movie.
Great video! I watch it every Halloween season
My old Roommate and BFF watched this film all the time!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻
He bought this and Four Rooms the same day!
I bought a bootleg of this almost several months before it was in theater. Never heard of it and saw it in a bootleg dvd shop in Afghanistan. Excellent quality for a bootleg, too. I loved it, way better than the beer one or Troopers 2.
Was it packaged with some Afghanistanimation?
@@grannyweatherwax8005 lol
Pee Na Lope 😂
So Fing funny, I called my ex-girl pee na lope. It pissed her off. Good times
House of the Dead is also set on a tropical island. Uff.
It was in the Pacific Northwest.
Love this movie. This video had me singing "Naughty Cow" and "Pina Coladaberg"
Not sure if you just missed it, but this is the 3rd film by Broken Lizard and directed by Jay. They started with the indie film Puddle Cruiser back in 1996, which honestly feels like a Kevin Smith movie. Not there best bust still a decent little flick. Then came Super Troopers in 2001, with Club Dread following that in 2004. The More You Know✨🌟
Needs to get bluray or 4k love.
I definitely need to rewatch this one ( thank god I have the dvd). I chuckled a few times watching your video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Saw it in the theater and loved it, but the people I went with wanted more Supertrooper and eventually Beerfest. Also grabbed those Coconut Pete records from Enjoy the Ride
One of the great horror/comedies that no one talks about? I love this film, so much fun!!!
The one homey only has one leg and is still in P90x.
Jebus! It’s been 20 years already???
I forgot this movie even existed. I used to watch it almost everyday when it first came out. Cool 😎
Club Dread is fucking wonderful
Such an underrated classic 💯
Piniacoladaberg is still one if my favorite songs.
These guys movies are all fantastic. “Slammin Salmon” and this are wildly underrated. Glad Beerfest and Super Troopers got attention.

This movie is so great, long live Coconut Pete!
It's crazy that both Coconut Pete.(Paxton) and Jimmy Buffett are dead now! Cheers to them both!
Piranha 3D takes place in Arizona...not exactly a Tropical Island, might be thinking of Piranha 2
This film is brilliant and I watch it every October.
It's not a repeated viewing movie, but I enjoyed it when I watched it.
I've seen this..man.. I don't know how many times and it is just fucking hilarious every time. The first time I saw it was the R rated version. My advice definitely seek out the unrated version. More blood, more gags, more off-color jokes/one liners. IMHO, this is a classic horror/slasher comedy. Luckily, I own the unrated version on DVD. Might have to search out the Blu ray.
I like CLUB DREAD. It's not the best from Broken Lizard, but it's a great horror comedy. Bill Paxton's tropical hippy character was great.
I loved Keith Heffermans impression of Steven Seagal!! Absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂.
I loved this movie! A classic "who done it", murder mystery, picking off teenagers/college kids one by one and as I remember one very memorable song in it as well. I definitely have to re-watch this one.
Being a Broken Lizard & horror fan this is one of my all time favorite ls.
I was really excited for this movie when it came out and was really disappointed in it. Several years later, I re-watched it an loved it. I think it is actually my favorite Broken Lizard film. I watched with my teenage sons and they thought it was hilarious and we still quote lines from it all the time. If you didn't care for it initially, go back and give it another look--I think it is a classic.
Suspence? check. Horror? check.
Comedy? check. Hot snooch? check. I'm gonna give this film my approval, 'cause I liked it at least as much as the super-awesome "Super Troopers".
This movie is one of my favorites.
I saw this movie when I was a kid one weekend when they used to do the like free hbo weekends and stuff. I thought i was crazy for the longest time cause I couldn't remember the name of it and no one I told about it knew it existed
What a ridiculous movie on a great channel lol! Love it!
A criminally underrated fun movie. Also Broken Lizard's best movie
I run a small IT shop north of Atlanta--for the years of 2012-2017, this movie was "required reading" for my interns.
Your list of tropical set horror / horror-comedies missed one: Monster Island, with Carmen Electra. Since you did say you listed all you knew, this might be the greatest horror - comedy you never saw. ;-)
Hmm. Same year as Club Dread, even
Way underrated movie , great horror comedy. 3rd best broken lizard movie.
Idk why this movie doesnt get more love. Far better than Super Troopers and the other Broken Lizard movies.
Absolutely love this film! You can tell they put a lot of love into it!
Pink crustaceans and good vibrations -
Definitely a top horror comedy in my book, but I can understand why people don't like, especially if the humor doesn't land for them. The final fight with the killer is great though, they pull out every trick in the box to prolong the end fight.
Coconut Pete! Rock on!
Just for Paxton's hilarious and unhinged performance alone this is an absolute cult classic. For lovers of the B tier Friday the 13th fans its a great watch. So absolutely it is.
RIP Bill Paxton. What a great role.
I picked this movie up in a charity shop and was blown away by how funny and well made it was. It deserved so much more as personally I think it knocks socks off many other Horror/Slasher comedies...it is far better than any of the Scream movies for example. Bill Paxton will always be remembered for Aliens but its a shame as he should be remembered for Coconut Pete
I always took the fireplace chat a reference to the scene in Friday the 13th..i can't remember which one. But the head counselor is talking about Jason and "giving it straight".
One of my fav movies. Very quotable and I still sing Coco Pete's greatest hits.
RIP Bill and Jimmy!!!
This movie is great. Highly recommend
Whats the secret ingredients to Coconut Pete’s Paella
because of this movie.......i can never say the name Penelope without saying Pee-na-lope. And i think you for that Broken Lizard!!!!
I think the castration was a nod to Sleepaway camp. Different enough to not be obvious but also like in the same arena.
I hate to break it to you, but Puddle Cruiser was Jay Chandrasekhar's directorial debut.
One of my favorite movie!
This movie is so good
I love this movie! Broken Lizard is freaking hilarious! I watched this movie before I watched Super Troopers and Beerfest, and was the main reason why I watched the other movies. I try not to listen to the reviews, and I agree, this movie is underrated.
Coconut Pete is my favorite.
I rented it twice back in the day, enjoyed the hell out of it.
What's the secret ingredient to Coconut Pete's paella?
One o me all time favorites 🤘
Chandrasekar directed Puddle Cruiser 5 years before Super Troopers.
I love this movie! Not quite as much as Super Troopers but not many comedies can compete with that. And damn Britney Daniel was smokin back then!
Club Dread is hilarious. It came out when I was in Highschool and I watched it all the time.
"Don't worry, the nightmare is over"
Never saw this
Does anyone know the secret ingredient to Coconut Pete's Paella
"....AND THAT BOY WAS ME!"
I quote this movie to this day. “piss on that! I’m taking a bloody mah-che-taaaay!”
I loved this movie back in the day
Sometimes you wanna watch a movie but for some reason (Gf/ now Ex gf) doesn't want to and then you forget about that movie for 15 years!!!... putting it on the list gonna watch next halloween!... or sooner!?
Sooner man its a classic
man... i love everything broken lizard does..... ive seen this one quite a few times....hahahahaa!!!!
