FDR: American Badass Trailer Storms Normandy, Kills Werewolves, Visits Moulin Rouge - Really NSFW
Posted 01.19.12 by Jud
When a movie has Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a rocket-launching wheelchair utter the phrase "Marco! Polio!" you just might have a winner for must-see movie of the year — or a free ticket to an effigy burning. Sadly, without a wide release date, only the lucky few who manage to catch a festival screening of FDR: American Badass will have the pleasure of watching our chain-gun-toting 32nd President fight Nazi werewolves and attempt to offend everybody in the room.
An idea that would seem to be thought up after huffing Scotchguard, FDR: American Badass stars Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hannah Montana: The Movie) as an FDR who tracks down werewolf scourge the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito.
And if that madness hasn't sufficiently gobsmacked you, Kevin Sorbo (TV's Hercules) plays Abraham Lincoln's ghost, or something. Here's how director Garrett Brawith explained it the movie in an interview with EW.com:
We'd first worked with Kevin on Poolboy: Drowning Out The Fury [a movie about a '90s movie about a Rambo-esque vet who kicks ass and cleans pools] and he blew our faces off. FDR was our chance to put him and Barry together, like the perfect storm of comic brilliance. They're still some of my favorite scenes. FDR, in an altered state, shall we say, gets a visit from Honest Abe, the original American Badass. Some people think it's irreverent, but I just think they're p—–s.
Check out the very NSFW trailer yourself.
