I came across this film by accident after midnight on tv in New Zealand.
It starts out as a fairly standard spoof of private eye movies, with down on his luck PI, Dirk Trent investigating a cheating husband who seems to have disappeared.
But THEN...
A bizarre plot featuring (I'm not kidding) giant Amazonian leech-monsters, a horse driving a taxi, an exploding nun, an autopsy on a teddy bear and a creepy morgue attendant who dresses corpses in wedding dresses.
All of this peppered with Dirk's voice-overs. Lines like, "I wasn't going back to the big house. I'd been there before. That was where I met Spider. I'l never forget him. Or the tattoo on the inside of his muscular thigh."
A very silly, very funny, very strange comedy from comedian Paul Chubb. If you like early Peter Jackson, I think you'll be into this.
