THANKSKILLING 3 is actually the second film in the franchise, a direct follow-on to THANKSKILLING. The second film is referenced but was never actually made. I haven't seen the original, nor have I any wish to having watched this. It's a lame puppet comedy that openly copies Peter Jackson's MEET THE FEEBLES but isn't anywhere near as interesting.The story is about an evil turkey creature hunting for a lost video tape. There are lots of weird alien characters all the way through, along with tons of bad taste humour that just isn't appealing at all. The special effects are amateurish to say the lead but you get the impression that the guys shooting this thought it was hilarious. They were wrong. It isn't.

There are many movies out there that are so bad that they're good. The first thankskilling was one such movie. It was terrible, but that terribleness made it very enjoyable. However, this movie does not fit the so bad it's good mold. It tries too hard and everything just falls flat. You'll likely want to turn off the movie when you realize just how much movie is left after you've already had enough. It's not enjoyable at all.The movie is full of puppets and an out there plot. The main plot point is how turkie, the main antagonist from the first film, is searching for the last remaining copy of the fake thankskilling2. There are many segments that follow that are all painful to sit through.I watched this movie under the premise that it would be so bad it's good, but instead I was treated to a movie that had no redeeming factor, and transcended so bad it's good to reach so bad it is painful.

Fowl-mouthed villain Turkie carves through the likes of a rapping grandma, a mindless puppet, a wig-wearing inventor, a bisexual space worm, and their equally ridiculous friends on his quest to recover the last copy of "ThanksKilling 2".I had seen "ThanksKilling" a number of times and consider it a minor cult classic in its own right. So it was time to give the sequel a spin. And, wow, what a strange one. There is a much improved budget, better acting, and far more strangeness. This is more like "Wonder Showzen" or "Meet the Feebles" than it was a sequel.Which is its blessing and its curse. I think it is an incredibly original and talented film, but it may turn off people who expected more of the first film. Also, as others have noted, the plot is rather convoluted, with the first 15 or 20 minutes (maybe more) introducing us to a variety of characters who seem to have nothing in common.

Loved Thankskilling 1 and was so looking forward to the sequel. I'm sure some people would have loved it but all i am going to say is stay with the first one and don't bother with the second. Nice to see the crazy turkey is back causing mayhem but i'm afraid that's where the fun ends. Never got round to making the best of the drinking game that you can have with this film but between myself & my mate who watched it we both agreed that being drunk may well be the best way to view it. I must point out that you do get some boobs in the first minute which was a bit of a bonus. On the whole it's a shame that the makers couldn't continue the fine work that was laid down in part 1 as the Thankskilling series of films could well have achieved a bigger cult status
