The Plot.A young married couple try to convert an old warehouse into a nightclub, but face opposition from both the council and local mobsters.The opening credits resemble a porno movie from the 80s. The look of the film is OK. the color pops. The blonde wife is do-able. and that's about where it ends.The acting is horrible. Especially the blonde with the BJ lips. She is atrocious and must have gotten the role on the casting couch. That would have been a more worthwhile video to watch!Within 2 minutes of the film she's having sex. Must have been to keep her mouth shut. She's THAT bad. The funniest thing is her bio on IMDb is gigantic only she hasn't worked since 1999 and a lot of her roles have been R rated T&A films or uncredited roles. Plus it actually makes mention of her first film being Waitress!This is funny because it was an early Troma film and literally anyone who showed up got a part! I have a tone of friends who were in it. They did that it get buzz and fill seats. Joe Schmo tells you he's in the movie and you go see it! What joke this chick is.The movie is horrendous with no real plot or scene of interest.
... View MoreEven by the low rent standards of Crown International Pictures, NIGHT CLUB is an awful film. It's a long forgotten, zero budget, 1989 tale about a bickering young couple who buy an old warehouse and plan to turn it into a thriving nightclub, but they run into problems - financial and otherwise - along the way.It amuses me that the IMDb defines this as 'action, comedy, drama' while my TV guide called it a horror. There's no action, horror, or comedy in it and the drama is limited to scenes of the whiny lead bitching about various trivialities. Viewers will quickly tire of Nicholas Hoppe's intensely irritating lead character which is off-putting in itself. 95% of the running time consists of characters sitting around in or fooling around in the abandoned warehouse while nothing happens to further the non-existent plot.Occasionally a Tarantino-lookalike gangster comes into the fray, but to pad out the film for the most part there's a series of incessant sex and nude scenes. These are silly and dated looking in the extreme, and the cheesy music that plays during them (and elsewhere) helps to make this film feel incredibly dated. It really is a mess, and one of the worst I've seen.
... View MoreIn the mid 1980s, Crown International Pictures all but stopped acquiring and releasing new product. "Night Club" is one of the few movies they've handled since then, and after watching it I have no idea why they thought it was worth the effort, unless they were looking for some kind of tax write-off. This is real minimalist filmmaking - 90% of the movie focuses on the few actors talking boring stuff in an old warehouse. There is almost no plot to be found, with the movie instead spinning its wheels again and again. Technically it's often shabby as well, with some poorly recorded audio that no one thought should be looped in the editing room. The movie does boast a number of scenes of extremely gratuitous nudity and sex, but even that gets boring quick. Although made in 1989, the movie only seems to have been released to the public a few years ago - it's easy to see why.
... View MoreMoody aspiring writer Nick Taylor (the insufferably whiny Nicholas Hoppe) purchases an old warehouse that he's going to convert into a nightclub. Nick finds himself in deep trouble when several mobsters he borrowed money from begin harassing him and his loyal, but long-suffering wife Beth (a typically radiant and charming Elizabeth Kaitan) becomes fed up with his constant immaturity and inability to finish anything he starts. Writer/director Michael Keusch and co-writer Deborah Tilton unfortunately allow the muddled narrative to meander all over the place at a sluggish pace; the plot seriously lacks cohesion and ultimately doesn't add up to much. The tiresome excess of dopey dream scenes and corny music montages certainly don't help matters any. Worst of all, the extremely self-pitying and self-absorbed Nick doesn't make for an engaging main character; instead this irritating kvetch becomes more increasingly obnoxious and unappealing as the flimsy plot unfolds. The always sweet and sexy Elizabeth Kaitan provides one of the few bright spots with her bravura acting as both Beth and Nick's lusty imaginary mistress Liza. Moreover, Kaitan looks absolutely gorgeous in this film and takes her clothes off a few times. Ed Trotta contributes an amusing turn as volatile foul-mouthed hoodlum Eddie. Both Loius Di Cesare's glittery cinematography and the funky, syncopated score by Dana Walden and Barry Fasman are up to par, but all the technical slickness in the world can't stop this talky and tedious affair from being anything more than a strictly mediocre time-waster at best.
