The Plot…

World War II is heading into its final days.  The Nazis realize they will lose unless a desperation plan works.

And it does!

The Nazis have developed a way to turn people into zombies!  This will give them access to unlimited soldiers.  In order to stop the Nazis, Dick Dynamite will lead a team of Nazi-Zombie-Killing-Commandos behind enemy lines.  Heaven help anyone who gets in Dick’s way.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)… 

The Dick Dynamite: 1944 trailer made the movie look like zany, over-the-top fun.  It was zany.  It was over-the-top.  It was NOT fun.

The movie was made through crowd-funding and self-financing.  This in itself isn’t bad.  Microbudget movies can have a certain charm… when well done.  Dick Dynamite: 1944 had a promising start, but quickly grew tiresome.  The jokes were bad.  The pacing was off.  The acting and direction didn’t help.  I tapped out at about 22 minutes.  As always, your mileage may vary.

Dick Dynamite: 1944 (2023) rates 1 of 5 stars.
