I HATE this film this bad!
I have never been so keen to want people to die. I don’t mean the characters. I mean absolutely everyone involved in making this STUPID movie! I knew I wasn’t going to see anything Oscar worthy, but damn…

In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl, along with her cinema- obsessed friends and brother Castor, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley's comet. But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye, into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously unhinged slasher spoof that treats the mutation of a beloved cartoon character into a bloodthirsty meteor-powered killer with cheerful chaos. It's a midnight-movie experience designed to subvert expectations and deliver shock-value laughs.

Reviews
So far, in 2025, we have three Popeye films: <I>Popeye's Revenge</i>, <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/9cA2rl">Popeye the Slayer Man</A></i>, and <I>Shiver Me Timbers</i>. This is the worst of the three, but I give them credit for spending most of their budget on "comets".
