This question slapped me right in my face earlier today when Jason, having been recently touched by the film for the very first time, inducted Killer Workout into his long-running "Thursday's Ways Not To Die" series at My New Plaid Pants.
His post got me thinkin' about it, dang it. I need to slap on a leotard ("No, you don't!" -- everyone) and make the jump to modern disc-based technology so I can post some screencaps and gifs and finally, finally do a Killer Workout masterpost.
I am glad, however, that Jason giffed this moment, for it's one of my favorite moments in the film. Just another gal caught playin' with a jockstrap!
Oh my God, I love Killer Workout.
This has been available in what I'm sure is a fairly rubbish print on UK DVD (as Aerobicide) - I actually used to own a copy but it's been so long since I watched it as someone appears to have borrowed it from me and not returned it (because, well, it's awesome, obviously). So, very happy to hear of a bluray release. I'll be sure to slide it on the shelf right beside the bluray of Death Spa.
ReplyDeleteI've never actually seen DEATH SPA, but I'm dying to do a twofer/comparison review!
ReplyDeleteI've heard from a couple different sources that Death Spa is the superior exercislasher but between Killer Workout's music and novelty safety pin I don't think so! I'd be interested in what you think Stacie.
ReplyDeleteI mean you can't beat an oversized novelty safety pin as a weapon. You just can't! But I am 100% happy to exist in a world where there are two aerobics-themed horror movies.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's a pin which is used as the murder weapon in Fulci's similar Murderrock. If you haven't seen it - imagine the kids from Fame trapped in a giallo with toe-curling dance tracks by Keith Emerson.
ReplyDeleteAlso ontopic (sorta) I recently picked up the UK bluray of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and it has Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout as an extra.
ReplyDeleteThis post just made my day!
