The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak

AKA Gwendoline



1984, Directed by Just Jaeckin

Stupid title? Check. Bad acting? Check. Crap dialogue? Check. Sexist tosh? Check. Crappy sub-music-video sets? Check. Looks good? Does it Heck…

This trailer screams “eighties!” from every orifice, and not in a good way. And much of it makes no sense - what’s the deal with the grape on a string and the flying trident at the end? Why would you put such a meaningless scene into a promotional trailer? Why am I wasting time thinking about this?

This movie looks like a complete pile of steaming horse excrement. I’m not sure I can think of anything I’d like to see less than this. I think this may count as an anti-trailer, in fact.

Favourite bit: The title.
