What makes it different from others?

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Candida
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The idea of rude humor and purposefully sexist comedy is fine--but you have to actually be funny. And you have to make something that holds together as a movie--I mean to sit through a feature length mess is not a good time.The standards for this series as far as something that looks like a movie are low but this one is a new low. A Lousy sound job with obvious and much post production dubbing of voices is probably the shoddiest element. The sound dubbing is no bad it almost sounds like a commentary track playing over the actual film sound--and mostly sounds are just missing.Director Butler doesn't show an understanding of how to shoot a movie it almost looks like it's shot and edited live--frequently the shots jump from one to another from a real location to poor sets.The editing struggles to cut from one camera angle to another without it looking like each show was done at a different location. The original footage is badly shot so I'll give the editor a bit of a break--one of these "you can't make chicken soup from chicken sh**, still there is no pace to the movie.The movie boast out of focus shots right in the first couple of minutes during a shoddy Silence of the Lambs parody--the kind of bad sketch comedy that would be editing out of any other movie.There are also ,crappy Digital and practical effects and acting that is elementary school talent show rejection level. Most of this can be blamed on Butler and, I'm sure, a super short shooting schedule. Then again this was made in Los Angeles where there are more actors than anywhere else on the planet so why you'd pick these people? Even for no money there are so many to choose from.Only possible note is that unlike the totally lazy films that Charlie Band directs himself, Butler actually has some ambition--to actually shoot in a real roller rink for a day or two and actually have some digital effects.If you liked the previous films I guess you can add one star to my review but still not something worth your time.Full Moon films seem stuck in many ways to what wasn't so great in the 1990's. Only back then they had, per film, budgets that now represent an entire years worth of movies. Sad.

1.for starters it supposed to be set in 1976, why the heck are there so many modern looking arcade games, Including the simpsons arcade game(considering it was released in the 90s and the show did not even debut until the late 80s), little to no real effort was made to make this a period piece for the 70s, save for clearly costume style clothing and a disco ball, they were too freaking lazy to unplug everything and move it somewhere else for their shots.2. the gingerdead man himself never resembled how he looked in the poster from the first or second film, ironically now the puppet is modeled (at least up close) to look like the one from the posters but now they use a different puppet for the poster for this one3. it has lost all of the seriousity(or seriousness) the first one had I have not seen the second one but judging by the trailer there was more effort, this is just garbage, straight up rotten month old garbage mixed with the stench of dead animals and fecal matter4. no explanation for anything in this film why does a maximum security prison have a time machine? how did the gingerdead man end up there? why does he share a cell with other killer baked goods and pastries? where did they come from? why would you keep acid at a roller skating rink? why didn't they even try to take this seriously? you can make this concept work and make it sort of scary, but they didn't they went the route that made this a bad movie, its not even a so bad its good kind of movie, its terrible, this could compete with oogieloves or return of the killer tomatoes(that was so bad I quit watching halfway through)I wouldn't recommend this to anyone save for someone on That guy with the glasses or channel awesome. I had to leave a lot of stuff out for due to the 1000 word limit final verdict: atrocious

After escaping from jail, The Gingerdead Man finds himself in a time machine destined for killing and roller disco.Opening with a highly amusing Silence of the Lambs paradox including a muffin throwing his cream over Clarissa Darling stating he can smell her Muff-in, you know what in for - or do you? The previous Gingerdead instalments were B-average at best and this is no exception.Once Ginger goes back to the 70's it's a series of some Porky's gags mixed with scene on scenes of roller skating linked by some t & a and few and far between kill scenes including gun play, acid attack and a nail gun assault. By the end it all crumbles apart with annoying kids and time travelling history figures cameos.While no one expects Oscar material from Full Moon you always hope for some-kind of return to former glory. You could spend 80 minutes watching Puppet Master or Blood Dolls but if your a fan of Gingerdead and 1976 this one will roller Boogie you to death.

It's very rare that a horror series improves with every sequel, but in the case of the Gingerdead Man series it's true! If you're a fan of Full Moon and cheesy slasher flicks, you've probably seen Gingerdead Man and Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust. If that's the case and you enjoyed them (even just a little), the 3rd film Saturday Night Cleaver will definitely leave you wanting more. I loved all 3 of them, each sequel a little more than the one before.This film is a spoof of a few different movies from the past, including Silence of the Lambs, Carrie, and Roller Boogie. John Carl Buechler takes over as the voice of the maniacal Gingerdead Man, and boy does he do a great job. I'm not a fan of CGI really at all BUT...There's a ton more CGI in this film than the previous 2, and it's done quite well. Even when it's not, it doesn't pull me out of the film. It's just a fun ride start to finish.The story involves time travel back to the year 1976, where the Gingerdead Man invades a Roller Boogie. That's pretty much it! From there, he just maims and murders. If you're looking for anything more than that from this flick, look elsewhere. But, if you're a fan of getting together with your friends and just being entertained by a Full Moon flick-LOOK NO FURTHER!
