"Once upon a waste of time ..."

In a time of kings, legends and fast food, despair and darkness have sloshed over the land. The last king was unable to produce an heir or indeed do much of anything in bed, and his most prized possession, EXCALIBURGER, a spatula encased in stone, is the only key to breaking the spell. Spanky, a wide-eyed young former fast-food clerk, sets out on a quest for some reason and encounters magic, danger and stupidity at every turn. He is trained by Merlin. Not the famous Merlin, but a very good wizard indeed. And he meets a young girl squire named Arthur who apparently wants to be king herself. (The nerve!) Will Arthur and Spanky conquer the obstacles and idiots around them to reach the spatula in the stone? And what are they supposed to do when they get there? Such is the plot of OCP's earth-shattering fantasy epic, "EXCALIBURGER (or, the Spatula in the Stone.)"


EXCALIBURGER TRAILER!
(5.43 MB)

A special treat of a trailer whether you've already seen the movie or not! Good stuff, folks. Requires Realplayer.

Starring Garrett Gilchrist, Michelle Caruso, David Ashe and a hugely talented and silly ensemble cast, this was a unique project for Connecticut moviemakers Gilchrist and Ashe, considering that writer-director Gilchrist had actually left Connecticut a year earlier and was living and going to school in California at the time. Showing no regard for logic or sanity, producer Ashe paid for Gilchrist's flight back to Connecticut, giving him room and board and less than three weeks in which to shoot a feature-length motion picture. Rather than create something small, quick and simple to fit the short time alotted, they created the epic tale of EXCALIBURGER, and thanks to their ignorance of concepts like "sleep" and "pain," they did indeed get it all done in time, with thanks to a terrific comedy cast. It's a new adventure in comedy, loaded with sex jokes and swordfighting and a truckload of cheesy special effects. Your Orange Cow collection isn't complete without this one folks, so to order, send $10.00 to our street address, or pay with credit card using Paypal below.
