While we are on this talk about bad fast food, I feel compelled to share to you a bad fast food movie, entitled "Hamburger: The Motion Picture". This flick was HORRIBLE!
It basically was about a college student (Leigh McCloskey) who kept getting kicked out of colleges for lewd conduct, and had to graduate from a university to get a family inheritance. He finds one school that would accept him: BUSTERBURGER UNIVERSITY! Yes, a fast food trade school for those who wanted to be managers of Busterburger franchises. Of course, there were the usual assortment of student weirdos, including one who participated in a university experiment and for half the movie was clucking like a chicken, and a black student who looked like a 80's Rick James wannabe, Jerry Curl, gold, and all who wore handcuffs all through the picture (they were taken off at commencement). This movie degraded blacks, Latinos, overweight people, women, cops, etc.
I gotta share this one scene with you to emphazise my point:
It was about 3/4 through the flick. Everyone passed their final exam, now they must do a simulation of a day at a Busterburger franchise. Drill Sgt. Drootin (Dick Butkus) wanted them to fail so badly, so he kept framing everyone. Well, a black motorcycle cop came through the drive-thru, where you speak into a 6-foot green pickle to place your order. Drootin somehow intercepts the drive thru radio with a CB radio in his car (which literally looked like Sheriff Buford T's in Smokey & the Bandit--no top, no doors, etc.)
Drootin: What's it gonna be? *cop places his order*
Drootin: Hey, pig. We don't serve afro-turf toilet plungers here.
Cop: What the h--l did you say?
Drootin: We don't serve freeway smokey donut chokers here.
Cop: I wanna see the ***dam* manager NOW!
Drootin: You're talking to the manager, Petercheese (what's that?)
, so merge.
Cop: (getting off his bike) I don't havta take this kinda crap from a ***dam* green pickle.
Drootin: Hey, rotate, Kunta Kinte, you're check is ready at the welfare office.
Cop (getting back on bike) You ain't see the last of me yet!
Well, among other things that day, an overweight eating club eats all the inventory, and after the gang laces their shakes with laxatives, they all have a fartfest that would put Cletus Klump to shame (one fart literally blew a hole in a bathroom wall). A motorcycle gang trashes the place after finding out there's no food. The black cop returns with more black cops and they help trash the place and the initial black cop yelled "HOLD IT! The place is a wreck, so let's split" and walks out the door with his arm around a biker chick. So now everyone is gone and Drootin decides to play chicken by having a chicken truck crash into the restaurant driven by, yes, Mexicans.
Well, at the end despite it all, the gang graduates, Drootin is demoted to permanent paper picker, and the Rick James wannabe sings at graduation a funky version of the Busterburger jingle with two black women as backup.
I had to share this movie with yall. This was BAD!!! Put this one on the back burner.
