johnburns1971 I've just bought this film on E Bay, as my wife remembered it being quite funny when she was about 5 years old, and i have to say that it is not only the worst comedy i have ever seen, but one of the worst films i have ever seen. I couldn't believe how badly this film wanted to be Animal House, From the same run down frat house to the same fat, gross, drunken bufoon for a lead character, although John Belushi somehow makes a real good job of it, the talentless waste of space in King Frat does not. Well that's that off my chest, i was wondering if anyone would like to buy a viewed once only DVD of King Frat, It's great
Speedy-Skidrow This is one of the best movies ever made. It has a good humor and we probably won't see much like this again. It has become cult around here and it's worth watching. The Pi Kappa Delta's likes to have fun, party and drink beers. If you like a nasty movie, with toilet humor. This is the right one for you. To bad it's hard to find it in a good quality. I managed to find it on DVD. But the source wasn't the best i have seen. Let's just hope they release a very good DVD Version some day.
moonisgod This movie severely thrashes all the other college movies out there. It tramples on the "PCU", "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Road Trip", although if you liked any of those you'd love "King Frat". Instead of being one continuous unbelievable story, like "Nerds" or "Animal House", "King Frat" is more of a compilation of vignettes about the frat boys, which, when you think about it, is really closer to what college life is really like: one prank after another. It pulls each scene off well, except the prostitution scene, and keeps themes running through the film. But what separates this film from the rest, and even bigger budget movies with a wider release area, is the characterization. I have never seen a film where the characters are as well portrayed and with such honesty. It's a gem, if you watch this film prepare to be amazed. I've actually had friends write term papers on this movie.Ok, some of the scenes do go nowhere, but that's not the point. It's a movie about college pranksters and if you're looking for Shakespeare, this ain't it. But it is entertaining in a crude, heart-of-gold kind of way. A lot like "Animal House" (John DiSanti plays the Budget Belushi well), of course, but unique and special in itself. It's a shame that "King Frat" didn't get a large theatrical release, or any publicity of any kind, because it really is a pretty good goofy movie. Everyone to whom I showed this movie loved it and I've heard it has a pretty good cult following (in Australia of all places).If you can find it, get it. It's not for everyone but it's a film everyone should give a good fair chance.
Ephraim Gadsby Whether this movie is supposed to be a spoof of "Animal House" or just a cheap rip-off, it doesn't work on many levels, except for gross humor. Anyone who enjoyed "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" might actually find it funny. And one senses there may be a funny movie underneath fighting to get out -- but not fighting too hard.The frat-house, one of the most disgusting sets every built, is not so much a setting as a central area from which the frat members go out on tangents. Some of the plotlines are very good -- such as the new kid's romance. Some, such as the member in the gorilla suit climbing a tree to stare into a sorority, has some funny ideas. But even the best ideas in this movie tend to fail in execution. It's not a good movie by any yardstick . . . but it means well, and is good-natured. There's not a mean bone in its body.The girls are inordinately attractive for this level of film-making -- but most of the attractive ones manage to keep their clothes on.I've rented quite a number of videos of "King Frat" over the years in different boxes with different labels, released many years apart (even Canadian versions) but it's never shown in a full version. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMBULANCE SCENE? Only a few seconds are missing, but they're vital to understanding the best joke in the movie -- yet every version I've seen has had those few seconds snipped, between the moment the ambulance co-driver peeks in the back and stares forward again. I remember the scene clearly from having seen the movie in a drive-in in 1979; and the cut is very obvious. Yet no one has seen fit to restore just a few moments to help make the only good joke in the movie work?If anyone knows why this movie remains incomplete, if the excised moments are lost or what, or knows where I can get a restored version, please let me know.
