Killer Barbys vs. Dracula

German, Spanish, and English abound in this movie, and it doesn't even matter if you watch it in German. They mix it up. I'm still not sure what the plot really is, to be honest. But this second film features more than one interview taking place DURING a concert – like ON the stage. How does this even happen? There are random contortionist trapeze people who perform during the show – not sure why. Also the microphone used by the random singer guy that shows up doesn't have a cord (and it's not a wireless mic). Also features an old guy with a missing eye pretending to be Dracula. Also a lot of shots of the supposed Killer Barbys playing awful pop punk stuff – all the while the real Dracula dances in his coffin. WTF? For the record, I still can't decide whether the singer for the Killer Barbys is hot or not. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think this second movie is all about trying to break the band into the mainstream, since they're featured a LOT. I had to fast forward a bunch of times in this one. I could go on and on about this movie – and I will. There's a random Spanish guy who walks around with a towel around his head like he has a toothache and sweaty head at the same time. The towel sings random songs with some random guy that keeps popping up – he might be the owner of the bar or something. There's a blind guy that walks around with his poorly acted assistant. The assistant taps the blind guy's cane on things as he walks, despite the fact that he's leading the blind guy around and can see perfectly well. Apparently, Mae West was a female vampire as well – didn't know that. There's a brilliant character who walks around with Dracula's keeper (don't even get me started on her) who I assume is American since he wears a Hawaiian shirt everywhere and smiles like an absolute imbecile. Alright, it looks like it's 100 degrees and sunny in Spain yet there's fog in the graveyard – defying the laws of nature. There's a random guy that keeps appearing on stage with some dancing girls and he's dressed as a half-pirate half-gold prospector. Not sure what that's about. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but this movie was shot on location at an amusement park of some sort, since you can see these cable cars in the air above the park in a couple of scenes. There's a brilliant scene towards the end where they use crowd shots from a HUGE concert (like 20,000 people screaming) and then they cut in the Killer Barbys playing on this stage in the amusement park with strategically placed 5 extras bouncing up and down in front of them. Hilarious!!! Then Dracula is up on stage and no one seems to notice, including the people in the band who have to work around him. Not to ruin the ending, but they kill the vampire with a stake in the heart (right after someone yells, "Make way for science!), including the blind guy who takes a couple of whacks at the stake, despite being BLIND.
