 Money well spent.Jul 28, 2004
By CC Incalzini
Since a handful of well-attended screenings have popped up in L.A., Boston, Austin, Seattle and San Francisco in the past two years, this movie has been coveted by all who enjoy a good bad movie. So coveted that bootlegs of questionable quality have been gobbled up on eBay. But now it's here, a bright, shiny print on DVD! This movie can't be missed. Its horrible acting, flimsy plot, unrelentingly bad music and lyrics, cheeseball costumes and, best of all, its earnestness, put it at the top of my list of camp demanding repeat viewings. It's also camp deserving of a wider audience. If you can't laugh at a man walking around in an Amazing Stories robe and silver G-string while antagonizing a wide-eyed music industry protege, what can you laugh at? If you can't appreciate a full-scale underworld scene (with music reminiscent of the worst of "Rocky Horror") in which one guy is wearing a mask with an extra face on it, what's wrong with you? These are just some of the subtle qualities that make this movie so great. Others: An evil overlord/music executive whose offices appear to be in the Kansas City airport. A guy with perpetual cameltoe. A cross between jazz hands and spirit fingers that passes for choreography. A surgical team interrupted by a mandatory exercise period in which the patient even gets a workout. A baffling scene in which a hippie commune gets sucked into the heavens by a white tux-clad guy named Mr. Topps. It's just jaw-droppingly awful ... but a lot of fun.

SUPER BAD MOVIE ALERT! You must appreciate dreck!May 18, 2004
By notmynickname76
Oh, where does one begin? "The Apple" is just one of the best cinematic experiences I have had in my life. I saw a midnight showing of it in March of 2004 at a theater in NYC, and the entire place was shrieking and howling in miserable delight. If you revel in amazingly bad movies (and this one's a musical from 1980, so you know it's really gonna stink), this is for you. Do not pass up the chance to own this piece of crap. I'm completely serious. The shimmer of the costumes, the awful acting, the terrible music, the tight little thongs everyone is wearing and oh yes--it's set in the awfully distant future of 1994. And praise that big juju apple--we are lucky enough to get it in widescreen format. See it!

Hey, hey, hey! BIM's the only way!Jul 12, 2005
By Eric Charles
In the short span of 6 months, I have become completely obsessed with The Apple. It's so bad, it's genious! I LOVE almost every song, so much so that I got a copy of the soundtrack off eBay and also downloaded the tracks onto a cd. I have even gotten others into this movie, including one of my co-workers, who is now working on an offical Apple fansite! I cant'explain my obsession with this fascinatingly awful movie. It's THE most entertaining movie I have ever seen! The songs, the acting, the costumes, the finale! Wow! What were they on? I only hope that they screen this movie here in Ottawa again someday. I would love to see it on the big screen! This is truly THE cult movie to end all cult movies!!!

GREATEST MOVIE NEVER!Oct 17, 2008
By Kathryn
or Greatest Movie Never Seen! Wow, I had a smile on my face and was shaking my head in disbelief throughout this whole movie. It just got better and better! Like rubber-necking at a horrific accident, you watch, stunned, with your mouth wide open! This is SO FUN! If you were a teenager in the 80's you will appreciate and enjoy this!
It's 1980 predicting what 1994 will be like. It's a love story. It's Satan vs. God. Characters sing their lines. Cars of the future resemble 70's station wagons! Unbelieveable costumes and makeup. There are hippies. The main character wears his jeans so tight he walks like he has braces on his legs. There's a surreal ballet number in an abandoned convention center. A demonic cave. An oh-so-subtle sex song. Jewish transvestities! Harry Potter's Professor Sprout gets felt up! God drives a pimpmobile! Triangles! And it all comes together in one big fat mess!
Long Live Bibi and Alphie!
My sister is getting a copy of this for Christmas; she will HOWL!
