RETARD-O-TRON III (2013) ** ½

Here’s the third and as of this writing, final entry in the infamous mixtape series.  Whereas the first two collections had a certain structure, this one feels more like a hodgepodge.  The reoccurring bits aren’t nearly as entertaining this time out (like the cooking show scenes), and it all seems a bit tame compared to the previous installments.  At least there aren’t any Jackass style stunts and skateboarding accidents this time around. 

The most memorable bit revolves around some… shall we say… unorthodox karaoke.  It’s the Japanese clips that are probably the most fun.  They include a synchronized enema fountain, a naughty McDonald’s, a giant soda machine that dispenses topless girls, and a guide to dating that revolves around puking on your partner.  Other highlights showcase mixed wrestling, clips of awful R & B performers on public access TV, a montage of humongous breasts (some of which would make Mariko Morikawa look like a candidate for the Itty Bitty Titty Committee), spaghetti wrestling, a montage of Turkish rip-offs, and an interview with young rappers Kriss Kross.  Although this entry doesn’t have any movie trailers, there are plenty of film clips for connoisseurs of cinematic cheese like Bloodsport, Space Mutiny, The Outer Limits, Lou Ferrigno’s Hercules, Future Force, Linnea Quigley’s Horror Workout, Mr. No Legs, Strike Commando, The Believer’s Heaven, Don’t Go in the House, Easy, TerrorVision, Loose Shoes, Winterbeast, Light Blast, and Rhinestone.  There are also plenty of other wacky excerpts I couldn’t identify including some pretty wild looking Kung Fu, Japanese, and Bollywood movies. 

I will say the porn clips aren’t quite as shocking this time out.  Either that or maybe I’m just becoming more jaded.  Either way, this is a noticeable step down from its predecessors, but there’s still enough here to keep the curious entertained.  Just be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into first.
