>One of the greatest horror comedies ever made
>Both a spoof of 80s action movies, and a genuinely good one in it's own right
>Some good stop motion from england that isn't Wallace & Gromit
>A surprisingly pro-masculinity and anti-political correctness message.

Mort said he found getting the funding not the problem, but he couldn't find a distributor. Next time he'd get the distributor agreed first.
>It’s a good feeling knowing that something you have toiled over for so long finally exists. I am proud of the film, and what it took to get it made, and I know there will be people out there who love it. It’s not been plain sailing though. As we were making the film, the world started to become very PC and it’s only getting worse. It’s made selling the film to a decent sized distributor very difficult as none of them take any risks anymore. That’s why we are self releasing. Recently, Jerry Zucker has said he would not have been able to make Airplane! today – you know something is seriously wrong in the world when that is the case! Many people are sick of this PC stranglehold that is crippling movies and I hope Chuck goes some way towards pushing back in the long run.

I find that hard to believe given how offensive this movie is. There are racist jokes, sexist jokes, suicide jokes, jokes mocking diversity quotas and transgenderism.

I may have confused with Jeremie Perrin's comments on Mars Attack, he also couldn't find a main distributor. As to Mike Mort, he said this:
>>The short film was done in my basement because we didn’t have any finance or anything. It was just me making everything, and I was gonna spend however long it took to get the shot. Then I met my partners and they in financing, and as soon as we finished the short film, they said let’s make a feature film! And I had this script from 2001, I’d written it back then.
The short film wa Chuck Steel: Raging Balls of Steel Justice (2013).

Well that explains everything.
This is like what happened with Warren Ellis script for a castlevania movie he wrote in the early 2000s becoming the first season of Netlix Castlevania. Which was also about vampires oddly enough.

and he created the character whe he was 15 in 1986, so even further back
>At what age did you first discover the films that would inspire Chuck Steel and Night of the Trampires?
>My father started taking me to the cinema to see Ray Harryhausen movies and that sort of thing when I was probably 10 or 11. I was never into horror films when I was very young; I was terrified of them for a long time. But I loved Harryhausen’s creature effects, and thought it was amazing how those were done. When I found out that I could get a Super-8 camera that had single-frame photography, I started experimenting over a number of years. I only really got into horror when I saw Evil Dead II, which was a perfect amalgamation of horror and comedy. I started absorbing a lot of horror films after that, trying to see if there was anything as good as that out there—and there never was, really [laughs]!
>Chuck Steel himself was an amalgamation of all the heroes of ’80s action films. I sometimes get, “Oh, he’s a bit like Johnny Bravo,” but I came up with him about ten years before that, so my conscience is clear!

Fuckin' preach it, brother. That's why there are basically no comedies in theatres anymore.

It mind-fucked me how smooth it looked, I was convinced there had to be some CG enhancements. But after diving through a making of blog last year, it really is just that good. The faces are 100% clay. It was made by lifelong Aardman animators, so it's a situation where these are probably the most experienced stop-motion animators in the world.

I'm surprised you didn't post the 15-minute short

genuinely blown away the animation. I didn't know it was done by Aardman guys until reading this thread but it definitely tracks

Makes sense, got it funded before DEI bullshit was all the rage, and by the time it was done, "Sorry man, busybodies are breathing down our necks now, can't release something this fun"

Just watched it, that was supprisingly good, great action, a very functional story, it never dwelled on potential boring parts and actually made me laugh out loud a few times. Insane something like this isn't more well known.
