The Gingerdead Man
He Isn't The Fuckin' Pillsbourghy Doughboy!
Millard Findlemeyer-Played by Gary Busey. He kills most of the Leigh family, then goes after Sarah. Turned into The Gingerdead Man.
Sarah Leigh-Nobody Doesn't Like Sarah Leigh! Except Millard.
Brick-Works for Sarah & her mother at the bakery. Is a big wrestling fanatic.
Julia-Spanish chick who's acting makes Jennifer Lopez look like Audrey Hepburn.
Jimmy Dean-Cowboy dude who owns a Bakery across from the Leigh's.
Lorna-Jimmy's daughter. Won "Miss Pretty Face of Waco". This fact is pounded into our heads every 5 minutes by her.
Amos-Lorna's boyfriend. He's actually a pretty ok guy, believe it or not.
Betty-Sarah's mom. She's a boozehound who a pretty damn good shot with a shotgun.
After reading Bill Szany's review of this movie, I had to see for myself and present it to you through my eyes. Let me tell you right now, it's a trip.

We kind of jump into the story where Millard has killed a bunch of people in a diner already and is stealing the money. Huddled in a booth in the back is the Leigh family. First the dad tries to stop him, to no avail. Then the brother goes after him, repeating over and over again "Please put the gun down". After about 5 minutes of this, Millard does so, but the brother gets stabbed in a blink-or-you-miss it scene. His next victim is Sarah and in a very confusing part, he says he has to kill her cause he has to finish what he started, then he shoots his gun. But in the next scene she's alive. Maybe she just got shot in the leg, I dunno.

Jumps to sometime later, I'm gonna say....a month. Sarah is working in her mom's bakery with Brick and Julia. We get backstory overload as we find out in a matter of minutes that Millard got caught, Sarah testified at the trial, and he got the electric chair. Oh, and that he was creamated and his mom took the ashes home with her. Got all of that?
So come to witness a Gingerbread Man running around killing, or really just hurting, people, stay to hear Gary Busey spout out some one-liners, like "It sure isn't the fuckin' Pillsbroughy Doughboy!" The movie is directed by Charles Band, and if you're in this business long enough, you know that when he's involved, you're in for a trip.
If you excuse me, I smell something feminine.
3 stars.

After hearing the backstory, there's a knock at the back door. Sarah opens it to find a box full of Gingerbread seasoning and a mysterious hooded figure leaving. Deducing that this is her shipment and that the delivery person has joined a cult or became a vampire or something, Sarah doesn't question this and mixes the seasoning with their big ass vat of it.

While Brick is trying to be super cool in front of Sarah (I suspect he has a crush on her, but because she's technically his boss nothing can be done about this), he cuts his hand. Sarah, always the responsable one, puts the wounded hand over the OPEN vat of gingerbread seasoning, causing blood to drip into it. Yep, no health codes violated here. And I'm never getting anything from a bakery ever again.

In case you need it spelled out for you, Brick makes a batch of gingerbread from the bloody seasoning and while it's cooking, he leaves to watch a wrestling match, or participate in it as "The Butcher Baker"! While the main plot is baking in the oven, we go back to the backstory that's cooking on the stove.

Jimmy Dean (Not THAT Jimmy Dean) has bought a fancy ass bakery place across the street from Betty's place and he plans on running them out of business. So Betty, who is totally drunk at this point, is shooting a shotgun at the building. She must've been in 'Nam or something cause she's a pretty damn good shot! We also get to meet Jimmy, who's basically just a giant tool in a cowboy hat, and his bitchy ass daughter Lorna. Jimmy's plan is to give Betty and Sarah some money to leave, so he can tear the building down and build, I dunno, a giant billboard sign that states that Lorna won Miss Pretty Face of Waco (Ah, we're in Texas, that explains A LOT), because this fact gets hammered into our heads every five minutes by Jimmy and most of all Lorna.

While the gingerbread man is cooking, Sarah finds Lorna in the back of the bakery planting a rat in the building. And because this movie was made by men, a nearly erotic food fight breaks out. I have to question one thing here, though. How much time elapsed from when we saw Lorna in Jimmy's car to when she was found in the back with the rat? Cause it just looked like Sarah left Jimmy and Lorna out front, walked to the back, checked on the gingerbread man, then heard Lorna making a noise. Here's why I question this. We find out that Lorna's boyfriend, I guess, Amos bought Lorna to the bakery in his car. So that would mean Jimmy drove like 5 feet, Lorna got out, got in Amos' car, drove BACK, and somewhere in that time found a rat and planned on planting it there. Eh, this is making my head hurt. Let's get to The Gingerdead Man, shall we?

He springs to life in the oven and everyone immedately understands the situation and freak out. What's left of the movie is The Gingerdead Man taunting everyone, especially Sarah, and coming up with semi-clever ways of hurting everyone.
His first victim is Betty, who returns after trying to sleep off the fifth of Jack Daniels that she has for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. He cuts off one of her fingers while stating the hilarious one-liner "How about some lady fingers?"

I should note that I believe that Gary Busey wasn't available at times during the making of this movie because sometimes it sounds like him but other times it sounds like someone trying to do a horrible (or good) Gary Busey impersonation. Especially the laugh. We've all heard him laugh on "I'm With Busey", and it doesn't match up with the laugh in this movie. I do believe that the actual lines of dialouge are Gary's though.

Ok, back to the movie.

He runs over Jimmy in a scene that should've been funny but it kinda wasn't, cause all he did was hit him with the car and that's it. He didn't really say anything, like "Your sausage's suck!" or "Yippie-kai-yah, mothafucka!" or whatever.

It's at this point that Lorna has reached her ultimate bitchyness when Sarah and Amos find Julia covered in frosting and put in the freezer. Thankfully, she's ok though. Then Lorna gets cut by Gingerdead and whines about her face, until FINALLY she gets stabbed in the forehead by a booby trap. NICE! Wondering why Millard is killing other people, we get a nice tribute to "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Sarah, arms out, turning in circles screaming, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?! I'M RIGHT HERE!! COME GET ME!!!" Guess if you're gonna make a bad movie, rip off another bad movie.

Sarah finds Betty in the oven, also alive, and as they pull her out, Gingerdead gets ahold of Amos' gun and starts shooting. This is when Brick, as the Butcher Baker, shows up. He performs some cheesy wrestling moves, and pins him down. Then does the only normal thing to do in this situation: eat The Gingerdead Man. Afterwards, we get the classic line "Got Milk?"
It should be over at this point, but I guess the filmmakers saw they were a little short on time, so they tacked on a surprise ending of sorts. Brick gets possessed by Millard and tries to finish off Sarah, but Amos AND Julia throw him in the oven and thanks to "The Wizard of Oz", he starts MELTING!!! MELTING!!! OH WHAT A WORLD, WHAT A WORLD!!!!!

As usual, everyone learned some sort of lesson. The experience sobered up Betty and their bakery is doing A-Ok. Sarah is with Amos, and she apparently got a hair cut or something, and they have an out doors bake sale. Then of course we get the fake out ending. Two nurses show up with a box of gingerbread men made "by a mysterious lady". Hmmm....
I swear someday, Gary Busey will play a normal non-crazy guy...and the world will end.
Yo Mama's bakery is so run down, the sign looks like it was made by a 5 year old kid!
"What do you think, mami, should I take da role in 'Gigli' or what?"
Nothing wrong with this labeling.
Aw darn! You cut yourself! Let's get that blood OVER THE FREAKIN SEASONING!!!
Two hot chicks fight. The winner? The male audience.
This, believe it or not, is The Gingerdead Man.
Thankfully she wasn't voted Miss Pretty Brain of Waco. Her face is still ok.
Apparently when you're cooked in an over, you just get three very small black marks on your forehead.
"Bang bang" says The Gingerdead Man. "Bang bang".
