Ricky travels to South America to get a first-hand look at the chemical’s effects and finds himself at a mutant freak farm. Elijah, who runs the farm, is only too happy to have new subjects on which to try his freak machine. The very chemical that Ricky is supposed to promote is the one responsible for creating the great variety of freaks. —IMDb
i don't know how this managed to fly under my radar for so long, but it's already one of my favorite movies.
Incredibly goofy 90s comedy that makes itself into a cult event with its relentless weirdness. The humor is scattershot and overly adolescent at times, but it still packs enough cleverly offbeat gags and one-liners, as well as some great wacky creature effects, to see it through. Fun and weird enough to be something of a cult classic.
