Dodger: A dress?
Captain Manzini: Only to western eyes. This is a dashiki, given to me by the great African leader Um-Tuh-Tuh, in gratitude for making his mother-in-law disappear.
Dodger: You were in Africa?
Captain Manzini: Actually, I was on my way back from Egypt. I was doing a split week, Cleveland and Cairo. But that's a long story.

Trivia
John Carl Buechler was considered to direct the film, and his version of the story was going to be a straight up horror film, in which the Garbage Pail Kids would have spawned from radioactive sludge that had found its way to a garbage can filled with broken dolls, turning them into serial killers.

I'll admit, I couldn't finish this atrocity. I watched 10 minutes worth of clips and I wouldn't usually write a review of a movie I haven't seen 90% of, but the 10 minutes was enough to convince me that you will never find a worse movie. And I saw Troll 2. The humor is crude, there isn't anything funny about the things those kids do. The acting is so bad, even the laughs sound fake. But it wasn't any of that that really made me cringe, although they added to the cringe factor a lot, it was the puppetry and the kids in general. Oh. My. Goodness. They are so creepy! And on top of being creepy, they're gross? No thank you!! Bottom of the heap. As someone who usually likes to give even bad movies a shot, the fact that I couldn't sit through the clips is saying something. I'm also very generous in my reviews (I gave Troll 2 a 5/10 for goodness sake!) but there is no comparison, this movie is by far the worst thing in film history. This should be recalled and the actors should keep this off their resumes.
