The combination of the sorry, burping, high-fiving, laughing C.H.U.D.s with no script and very unfortunate acting, not that a cameo by Olivier as a wilding C.H.U.D. would have made an impact, is a "sub-humanoid meltdown" of "Class of Nuke'm High" proportions. Likewise paradigmatic is the following scene: Bud does a military inspection on his army of C.H.U.D.s as they march out on Halloween with the streets and parties full of victims. The C.H.U.D.s go to a huge Halloween party where they stumble about pitifully trying to get some brains until the big science lesson showdown with the kids. How could this have been allowed to happen with all of these professionals around? Absolutely the most consistently unfunny gags in the history of movie making (with perhaps the exception of Lucy and Desi's "The Long Long Trailer") and Yikes! Worst Cameos awards all around for June Lockhart, Norman Fell, and Larry Linville, a special most unfortunate performance award for Robert Vaughn, whom, like the other actors in this movie, we like and forgive.</B></div> <div> <B>                              </B></div> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: Doctor Burghalter is being paged but ignores this to head downstairs to give his patient his therapy. It has been announced that the Joint Chiefs of Staff has decided to discontinue the C.H.U.D. research project and the one remaining C.H.U.D. is being terminated at this moment. Colonel Masters is disappointed that this crowning achievement of an army that fights when clinically dead is over. Except, the C.H.U.D. research project Guinea Pig, Mr. Oliver, gets his final injection and escapes briefly. He is quickly stopped through use of freeze guns and secretly shipped to the Winter Haven Center for disease control. If and when the project is refunded, "we'll reactivate him with electricity", or at least, so goes Colonel Master's plan. Meanwhile Kevin and Steven, students of the local high school are looking forward to a visit from a cadaver from Lee's Funeral Home. An in-class experiment/prank that was supposed to prove the relationship between electricity and life goes awry landing the two students detentions working in the lab where they accidentally push the cadaver down a hill on a cart, Little Rascals style. The teens agree they can either admit they lost Mr. Proctor's prize cadaver, or replace it. They go to the disease control center, sneak in dressed as surgeons and steal a cadaver. Unfortunately, they take the C.H.U.D. even though he looks "a little skanky" and store him at Steven's house because the biology lab is locked up. The C.H.U.D. is dumped in a bathtub full of water where idiot Kevin drops a plugged in hair dryer in the tub thus reanimating the C.H.U.D.. The boys assume that the combination of bubble bath and electricity is the key to life. And so follows the sadness of a romp past the parents where they lock the C.H.U.D. in the cellar and imagine he'll stay there. The smiling C.H.U.D. runs after the dog grumbling "Meat" and, looking puzzled, finds a picture of Steven's girlfriend, Katy, and falls in love instantly. The bumbling, mugging C.H.U.D. bites the dogs brain which turns the dog into a C.H.U.D. CHUDism is an epidemic that can't be stopped. Back at the center the General is planning to get Bud the C.H.U.D. "Mr. Oliver's nickname" back. Through the town with the stumbling grunting CHUD-he meets a woman but she screams so he eats her brains, she eats her cats brains and a rabid poodle is reported attacking people on the other side of town. Bud procures a nice suit and we are treated to the sadness of a romp to the tune of "Bud the C.H.U.D." music. The colonel arrives at Steven's and announces to Steven's mother that her son is "dead meat" for stealing government property from a top secret site. All over town, the CHUDS are raising bloody havoc - comedian Rich Hall gets it from his CHUD barber. Bud and his deadhead friends pull up in a pickup truck chanting "meat", eat the help instead of the burgers at Bossy's burger joint and the kids are in pursuit as the dead heads pull out. The Colonel admits they dare not inform the local police of the illegal neuro-technical experiments banned by the Geneva convention and the other problem of the mutations. The Colonel orders men with "flame throwers, nitro guns, the whole enchilada". The C.H.U.D. sees Katy in person and flips. The C.H.U.D. is poked in the groin yuk yuk yuk, and the race is on, teens against CHUDS, CHUDS against town, Bud after Katy, and the army after all involved.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
