CT 10: Danger On Tiki Island (Live)

Welcome to Tiki Island, dangers include a mutated Mr. Hanky, some touchy feely trees, and a touchier, feelier nymphomaniac. Please mind your step or you may trip on a midget. As breaks go it's up there with a weekend in Blackpool. As films it's about the level of, well, other Cinematic Titanic fare.

Much like the previous two CT releases, East Meets Watts and Alien Factor, Danger On Tiki Island is a recording of the group performing live. And like those two it's a fantastic installment of the series, further proving that the shift to live DVDs was a wise move. As enjoyable as the studio ones were, and it's certainly sad to lose the style and storyline of those, the live ones feel far fresher.

The movie of course really helps in proceedings. Any film that features a slightly racist vision of island life, an eccentric recluse surrounded by miniature servants and a woods alive with killer trees is ripe for riffing. And riff the Titans do. There are a few dead spots during this one that stop it from being as tip top as the previous two but thankfully they don't derail the thing. Plus there's an added level of dirtiness to this one thanks to the horny wife of the old professor. She really tries to pump everything that moves, leading to the notion that she definitely thought about doing the jobbie monster when she comes face to face with it.

A nice little touch on this DVD is the first Cinematic Titanic extra feature, a short documentary that interviews the Titans before the recording of the live show. It's a welcome, fun little addition.
