lance_sibleyKiller Tomatoes IV: Eat France! is on right now. I hadn't realized how good the theme song can be when fully orchestrated until now.
According to IMDb: "After being busted out of jail by his tomatoes, Professor Mortimer Gangrene begins a new plot to take over the world by inserting his hapless lackey Igor into the throne of the King of France."
"Into" the throne? That should prove interesting...
I'm not sure what scares me more - the fact that Space has been showing the Killer Tomato films recently, the fact that there were at least four of them (I only knew about the first two, and only own the first one on DVD - yes, I'm weird, and occasionally low-brow), the fact that this one stars John Astin (who must be the king of the B-movies) and Marc Price (formerly "Skippy" on "Family Ties"), or the fact that the opening dialogue was spoken in what must be the absolutely worst fake French accent ever recorded on film.
However, Marc Price's introductory monologue is somewhat amusing, in a fourth-wall-shattering kind of way:
And now he's picking up a girl by claiming to be Michael J. Fox. Oy.

What am I worried about? I'm 22 years old, I'm backpacking through France... Life is wonderful. Oh, who am I kidding. Michael J. Fox is a major motion picture star and I'm making a Killer Tomatoes movie, part 4!. What am I worried about? I'm making a movie. I'm filming in France. I've got a piece of the merchandising! It beats dinner theater.
And now he's picking up a girl by claiming to be Michael J. Fox. Oy.
