Bristol Bad Film Club: Dance or Die

Director
Richard W. Munchkin
Certificate
18
Running Time
90 mins

How could you resist a film about sex, drugs, dancing and murder? Or, indeed, a film directed by one Richard W. Munchkin. Especially when you learn that he changed his name to Munchkin.

Billed as a cross between Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever, Bristol Bad Film Club‘s New Year abomination is a little-known 1987 film from Troma, the studio that gave us The Toxic Avenger and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. It’s the story of a fella named Jason, whose twin ambitions are to get off drugs and choreograph his spandex-clad team to victory in a big hoofing contest. But then his roommate gets bumped off and the dancing turns deadly. All profits from this screening go to Build the Bristol Improv Theatre. Advance tickets are available here.
