This is #21 in a series honoring and celebrating movies, both good
and bad.
Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and James St. James (Emilio Estevez)
are a pair of troublemaking garbagemen sanitation engineers who
dream of owning a surf shop. They soon stumble on an illegal toxic
dumping operation in their city. The movie begins with the pair
collecting trash as they usually do, by tossing garbage cans in the
street and making noise that disturbs the residents. One of the
local cops hassles them frequently, but Carl and James seem to have
gotten used to this treatment.
After work, the pair spies on a woman living across the street with
a telescope; they discover that she is being mistreated by a man
who is with her. Determined to right the wrong, Carl shoots the man
in the rear with a pellet gun. He and James both hide and laugh.
Shortly afterwards, the man - a local politician named Jack Berger
- is strangled and ends up found the next day by Carl and James in
a yellow can. They decide that turning in the body would implicate
themselves, as they had shot him earlier. Carl and James ask the
advice of crazed Vietnam War vet Louis Fedders (Keith David), who
helps them to stash the body. Carl goes over to meet Susan Wilkins
(Leslie Hope), the woman who they saw with Berger the night before.
Louis ends up exacerbating the situation when he kidnaps a pizza
delivery man who sees him with the body.
James, Louis, and the pizza man end up leaving the apartment to
follow Carl and Susan, but they are pulled over by the cops from
earlier in the movie. Louis, however, uses the pellet gun to get
them out of trouble. Meanwhile, Carl and Susan are discovered by
the hitmen who had killed Berger. The couple is eventually stuffed
into cans and set to be disposed of in a lake that serves as an
illegal toxic dump for a local businessman, Maxwell Potterdam III,
who was also the man who had Berger killed.
Carl and Susan manage to escape from the cans and reunite with the
others. The group fights the toxic dump workers and brings down
Potterdam.
This film was written and directed by Emilio Estevez. The film was
not well received with critics and earns a 30% rating on Rotten
Tomatoes.
