Take a Ride With Mezco's Hell Rods!Do you remember the great Frankenstein Flivver? No? Well look it up and get some culture, man! Hot-rods and monsters go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly (minus the botulism of course), and Mezco Toyz is looking to bring these speed demons to a whole new audience.
Wesley Strick is writing? Man there is ZERO hope left that this movie could be any good at all.
And the hits just keep ooooooon comin'.

The opening weekend was crazy though (the coin pulled in). The film was just not fun enough to sustain, as most have attested. I would ask the question what horror films have had staying power at the box office... Also what crappy films reaped big bucks on DVD...

I wouldn't call a 80% drop off on the second weekend a "HUGE success"...
