Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury is a 2011 American action comedy directed by Garrett Brawith .

action

The film is presented as the long-lost sequel to the movie Poolboy , which the eccentric director Saint James St. James made when he was ten years old. Because of its crude racism , the action film from the 1990s was never shown and is only now available again in a restored version. The actual plot of the film is therefore repeatedly interrupted by "background information" and interview sequences.

The actual film is about the Vietnam War veteran Bando, who had promised his dead friend to start a pool boy company back in the United States. When he returned home from Vietnam a little late after 24 years, he discovered that he had a 6-year-old son and that his wife was unfaithful to him with a Mexican. Bando swears revenge and steals the Mexican's pool boy mobile. However, this then kills Bando's wife and son. After Bando kills the Mexican and his gang in an act of vigilante justice, he comes into conflict with the Mexican pool boy mafia.

There is a showdown with Caesar, the leader of the cartel, in which, however, Jan Van Hammer, the actor of the Bando, is accidentally killed by a real weapon and replaced by two doubles. Bando then succeeds in bringing down Caesar. Behind all this, however, is the Russian rocket scientist "Permanent Nutface Gary", who wants revenge on Bando because he was indirectly responsible for his disfigured face. Bando called his wife during Gary's orgasm , who then broke off intercourse with Gary. Gary suffered facial paralysis and has only been able to speak with a " Stephen Hawking voice " since then . He wounds Bando with a hidden weapon, but is himself killed by a ninja . Everyone ends up having a pool party when suddenly a Korean shows up and declares war on the United States.

The film was released in Germany on December 9, 2011 on DVD and Blu-ray . The FSK gave the film a release from the age of 18 .

Reviews

“[T] he film stands and falls with the question, 'Do I allow the constructed, orchestrated and planned trash or is that unworthy?' Apart from that, the constant interruptions by Saint James St. James disrupt the flow of the film very much. You keep being referred to the second level of the film and that's annoying because it happens far too often. If you are sympathetic to the film <sic!>, You could see a little satire on racist tendencies in society and film in the USA as well as a few swipes at the Hollywood business, but these are rather small aspects of this trash festival that nobody really does needs.

“For a film party with good-humored friends or trash fans, 'Poolboy' is definitely a recommendation. Viewers who have no connection to such wacky films but better steer clear of him. "

“POOLBOY doesn't just offer a film within a film within a film, no, POOLBOY is a feast for the senses of trash-tempered film buffs, who pulls pretty much everything through the cocoa from the smallest to the largest cliché that - above all - remote cinema in the last few years has offered almost 30 years. People, women, children, Mexican, handicapped, gay and whatever, disdainful, bloody, brutal, packed with unnecessary - but also not unnecessary, hehe - sex scenes, weapons, muscles, headbands and casual sayings. Pool cleaning is tough, and Sal Brando alias Jan van Hammer alias Kevin Sorbo is exactly the right man for the job. "
