Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) finds himself in Captain Manzini’s (Anthony Newley) antique shop, seeking refuge from a group of bullies. Manzini, a friend and protector of Dodger, provides him a safe haven while warning Dodger not to touch a grimy-looking garbage can crusted with slime. When the bullies find Dodger, a fight breaks out, and the garbage can topples over, releasing a bevy of pint-sized, grotesque aliens known as the Garbage Pail Kids®. The kids – Ali Gator, Nat Nerd, Greaser Greg, Foul Phil, Messy Tessie, and Valerie Vomit – befriend Dodger and help him get revenge against his bullies, defying the laws of good taste in the process! Based on the popular Topps trading cards, THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS® MOVIE captures the irreverence and gross-out humor of its source, mixing obnoxious gags with painstakingly disgusting make-up effects courtesy of John Carl Buechler (Re-Animator, Tammy and the T-Rex). Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is proud to present the world UHD premiere of one of the grossest movies ever made for children, from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative, giving every ounce of fluid and every wrinkle of latex the resolution it has always deserved. directed by: Rod Amateau starring: Mackenzie Astin, Katie Barberi, Phil Fondacaro, Anthony Newley, Ron MacLachlan, Arturo Gil 1987 / 96 min / 1.85:1 / English Mono Additional info: 2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD / Region A Blu-ray 4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range Newly scanned & restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative Commentary track with lead actors Katie Barberi and Mackenzie Astin, moderated by film programmer William Morris “Tangerine’s Dreams” (27 min) – a brand new interview with actress Katie Barberi “Anything is Possible” (26 min) – a brand new interview with special effects & animatronics artist Hal Miles “The Effects of the Garbage Pail Kids Movie” (12 min) – an archival interview with special makeup effects creator John Carl Buechler and makeup effects artist Gino Crognale “On the Set” (6 min) – an archival interview with first assistant director Thomas A.
