Anyone who went through puberty in the late 1990s or early 2000s probably remembers how important “American pie” was back then. But not only the teen series about the sexual escapades of Jim (Jason Biggs) and his buddies was quite influential for those years. The ‘Scary Movie’ films also made a huge impression on many young people at the time.
Not only horror hits or blockbusters were mercilessly sucked through the cocoa here. The series “Scary Movie” quickly managed to build a huge fan base thanks to its extremely crude humor, which is still very popular vulgar excesses like the penis in the ear, a horny horror clown or the two sperm fountains, the protagonists Anna Faris hit the wall twice.
Do you want to wallow in nostalgia again or are you one of those people who have never had to deal with “Scary Movie”? Then you get your money’s worth with the Paramount+ subscription, because from now on there is “Scary Movie“,”Scary movie 2” And “Scary movie 3” available. You can get to “Scary Movie 4”. Disney+* find, while “Scary Movie 5” is currently available on Netflix.
This is the series “Scary Movie”.
Director Keenan Ivory Wayans and his screenwriters Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans have created a modern comedy classic with Scary Movie that is still a lot of fun today. That the horror parody went through the roof in 2000, of course, also had to do with the huge success of Wes Craven’s “Scream”, to which “Scary Movie” largely refers. The Wayans showed an unleashed creativity here that not only strived for humor under the belt, but also showed a great love for cinema.
“Scary Movie 2”, which made fun of “The Exorcist”, “The Ghost Castle” or “Mission: Impossible 2”, among others, could not keep up with the accurate gag rate of the first part, but it did the budget quite well increase (part 1: 19 million, part 2: 45 million) and are almost ready to call Parody movie blockbuster to describe. Tim Curry also secured the services of a horror veteran, who embodied Pennywise in the 1990 “IT” TV adaptation. Appropriately enough, there’s also a horror clown in “Scary Movie 2” – but he has rather daring intentions.
“Scary Movie 3”, the last installment of the “Scary Movie” series worth seeing for many fans, focuses on “8 Mile” and “Signs” as parodied works. And for that, a true legend of comedy and parody cinema has taken the director’s chair: David Zucker. He directed – along with Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams – The Naked Gun, The Naked Gun 2 1/2, The Incredible Journey in a Mad Airplane and Top Secret! Stars like Charlie Sheen, Pamela Anderson, Kevin Hart, Simon Rex and the big one Lesley Nielsen came together as President (!) in front of the camera.
