Hey yall. I recently came across a film I have not thought about in a long time. The Kevin Smith produced film Vulger from 2000.
Vulgar is a interesting film I was huge Kevin Smith fan in 2000s when I was a teen. I saw a preview for Vulgar around 2002 or so. It looked like a dark but silly comedy and it was produced and co stared Kevin Smith. I recall going to Blockbuster and buying the one VHS copy they had for sale. I watched it and...mind blown. Vulgar was advertised as a comedy but its actually a very dark, disturbing film about a birthday clown that gets brutally raped. No kidding. Eventually after the clown named Flappy gets famous the rapists come back and blackmail him. It eventually involves murder including a gruesome scene where a guy gets his face blown off. There is also a brief but very dark scene of a young man getting tortured with a blow torch.
Vulgar is a insanely dark film to say the least but the damn thing is, is that this film about sexual assault and murder was advertised as a comedy! This has to be the worst and weirdest case of misleading advertisement ever. Granted the film does have humor in it but advertise this film as a silly comedy is insane.
Anyone seen or heard of this film?
Here is the trailer.

I've definitely heard of it. I too was a big Kevin Smith fan and knew he was involved in this, not to mention it starred Dante from Clerks and was directed by Steve-Dave. Alas, it looked too weird and crappy for me as a kid so I never got around to it.

A bit off topic, but I forgot this was even a show until I was reminded a few weeks ago when I was looking through a list of the best animated TV shows. I watched the entire series a long time ago. |

Yeah, I've binged it twice. It's pretty funny. A safe #2 in my favorite Clerks-content, with Clerks 3 dead last. |

I have heard of it, but not seen it. Kevin Smith had something to do with the movie. He co stars and Produced it. |

On IMDB it is listed as a crime/drama/thriller. Yeah but in 2002 when I saw the trailer I did not know what IMDB was. I was just going by the trailer I saw. |

I recall liking it as well. Did you see Clerks 3? I think most were disappointing with that film. I was as well. I found it massively depressing. |
