Merchants Of Death (Troma)

Clint Howard, P.J. Soles and Russ Tamblyn star in Ross
Hagen’s 1995 Merchants Of Death, a film that pretends to be a thriller
about kidnapping and the illegal obtaining and selling of sex organs. Of course, it is really about making a bad,
tasteless movie that is supposed to be funny.
Unfortunately, it gets off track with bad jokes and finds itself away
from the subject of organ donations to the point the film could have been about
anything.
The 1.33 X 1 image is soft and muddled, including poor
color throughout. The Dolby Digital 2.0
sound is too forward, a little harsh and simple stereo at best. Extras include a bunch of trailers for other
Troma DVDs and a sample from their filmmakers video program called Make Your
Own Damn Movie. After this one, you
just might.
