Beneath contempt
lor_4 March 2024
Contrary to the usual public relations' Trivia (submitted by one Temple Jones) accompanying most Cash Markman video in IMDb (as if anybody but me actually read them), this stinker has the screen credit for writing displaying "Cash Marcman", not Bill Dollars. A fraud by any other name would still smell.

As a takeoff on the original "Quantum Leap" TV series, it doesn't even try. Markman's trademark set of dumb references is there: this time he namedrops the first President Bush, Madonna and even Monday Night Football. Excuse me, I forgot to laugh.

Buck Adams keeps delivering verbal exposition (including voice-over narration) to remind us of the premise. Eric Price plays Dean, a reference to the Dean Stockwell of the show -in poor taste now that Dean has died. He invented a time travel machine that looks like an ordinary toilet and his pal Buck Adams is now trapped in frequent, random jaunts back and forth in time; starting point is 2030, contradicting his interest in Monday Night Football and even Madonna. The Bush reference reminds us when the video was shot.

With this premise, one would assume important people or events would figure in Cash's story. No, that would be too obvious. Instead Buck travels back and inhabits the body of T. T. Boy playing a Sultan who has over 700 wives. The Sultan appears in a tent but when Buck and one of the wives (Carolyn Monroe pre-breast enlargement) travel back to the "Sultan's bedroom" after they're stuck in a sort of limbo (a blackout scene saving money by having zero set decorations), the bedroom doesn't match the tent as they observe T. T. Boy f*cking newcomer Anisa. Sex emphasizes the anal variety per the title.

Ending is fitting, a closeup of the toilet as Price (who doesn't get a sex scene at all) talks to us.

This couldn't have been worse if they tried, but of course they didn't. And no amount of copouts submitted to IMDb can explain away the awfulness.
