After over a year and a half of reviewing dumpster trash we all love to watch I am proud to announce my first Golden Coffin winner. I do not take this lightly, as I’m sure Jose does not either. When we proclaim a film a Golden Coffin winner it has our seal of approval that it is a fun as balls, crazy awesome, gem of B-Cinema. Since we can’t please everybody your either going to fall in love with this film or think its super crap, either way, we stand behind our decision in awarding the prestigious Golden Coffin. I hope you will all enjoy watching Video Violence 2!

Howard and Eli are back, and now they’ve got their very own cable television TV show. They somehow scramble the network and slide their show in for people to watch. The show consists of a parody to the tonight show, with the theme being homemade snuff films. Howard and Eli are the hosts, they then bring in a female guest who will most probably bare her boobs and get cut up somehow. They even have a music guy on the keyboards that they interact with. During the show they show various homemade snuff tapes and review them. This is fantastic since you never know what the townsfolk have got to offer. There are even amateur infomercials and commercials.

For this evening’s episode Howard and Eli bring in a young actress who wants to make it in Hollywood and give her a scene from a splatter film to rehearse. But of course they have her strip to her panties and then tie her up and gag her. She will become the sport of the show for random torture and what not. The first snuff film is of a couple who build a makeshift electric chair and use it to fry a vandal. His eyes pop out of his head and blood comes out of his nose. Cheap but fun gag, like most of the ones we will see in this film. In another snuff tape, probably my favorite, a trio of horny and naughty college girls make their own snuff tape by killing the male pizza delivery guy. They wanted a tape for the girls out there since most of the ones in circulation in the town are male oriented bare breast pieces. In the last snuff tape they kill an out of towner in a video shop using a shrink wrap device on her head. This is pretty cool. Towards the end of the show they feature a kitchen appliances infomercial with the folks at the deli. You have to remember that most of the characters from the first film are back and you should start with the original film to truly enjoy this exploitation comedy splatter piece. In the infomercial they showcase a finger slicer & dicer and a "drac-o-matic" which is like a human juicer which you affix to the body and drain the fresh blood out. Both of these nifty gadgets are demonstrated for us.

When the show wraps we become aware that the girl being tortured was an actress, but she begins bitching so much that Eli gratefully snaps her neck. By the way she has some nice pair of boobies which we see continuously. There is a knock on the door and someone delivers a late mystery tape. In the tape the two main victims (protagonists) from the first film appear to be alive. Suddenly they bust in with chainsaw and shotgun for bloody revenge. It all turns out to be a grand hoax on Howard and Eli who shit their pants.

I was amazed at the construction of this movie - at how well the theme (splatter films) held the film together. The story this time was more fun than the first because it was all about the show this time. We get to sit back and watch Howard and Eli, and also the whole town show us what they have made. The gore gags are super cheap but the fun is grade A. There is plenty of blood and boobs and the sadistic town itself is the perfect beast. I didn’t think I would like this movie as much as I have. I can guarantee you that if you liked the first one your going to love this one because it’s all about the exploitation baby!!
