so damn weird it deserves a watch. I with ADD couldn't stop from watching this bizarre yet intriguing flick. The wife liked as well. His comedy act is actually decent by today's standards.

Never has there been a more accurate depiction of the showbiz industry, ever. Only is it after you've lost everything that you'll finally find acceptance, and it takes a LOT of effort to fall that far.

Thoroughly enjoyed this bizarre film. One of the best movies I have seen Judd Nelson and Bil Paxton in a long time.

The Dark Backward is a work of sick, repulsive, genius. It might be the most disgusting, off-putting film I've ever seen, but it's a work of striking originality and daring.

It might be the most disgusting, off-putting film I've ever seen, but it's a work of striking originality and daring. Imagine if David Cronenberg at his most gruesome decided to pen a comedy and you have something of an idea of what this is like. Bill Paxton gives a fascinatingly repellent performance.

Bill Paxton nudey prodding great big fat women and Judd Nelson playing a nerd with 3 arms. Different.

A silly little dark comedy with Judd Nelson (Marty Malt) and Bill Paxton (Gus). Oh, and Wayne Newton. Everything about this movie rules.

From Marty's big suit, to Gus's accordian, to Gus licking the corpse of a dead woman he finds at the city dump, to the so brilliantly baaaad jokes that Marty Malt comes up with. Like sooo horribly bad that it takes a superb genius to write them. It looks dark and moody and the third arm brings it all together. If you like twisted dark comedies you'll love DARK BACKWARD. My favorite Bill Paxton role ever! Seriously.

really bad but best viewed while FUBAR'd. Worth watching just to see Bill Paxton laughing deviously while playing the accordion.

Mondo Bizarro movie. I can't even begin to fathom how they cooked this one up. It's completely off the wall and weirdly hilarious.

I can't even begin to fathom how they cooked this one up. It's completely off the wall and weirdly hilarious. Things that make it funny are the absurd elements being treated with such a natural attitude, and also just a lot of gross shockers, like boxed pork juice, and random corpses being found in the junkyard.

It's insanely stupid. This is a lynchian nightmare with a funny twist. Judd Nelson plays a garbage man, who is a part time unfunny comic who grows an arm out of his back. His best buddy is a retarded co-worker who never takes a shower and is never se... (read more) It's insanely stupid. This is a lynchian nightmare with a funny twist. Judd Nelson plays a garbage man, who is a part time unfunny comic who grows an arm out of his back. His best buddy is a retarded co-worker who never takes a shower and is never seen without his accordion. You'll laugh at the little things, like Wayne Newtons penciled-on mustache melting in his sweat. Check it out, it's gross, stupid and HILARIOUS!

Weird and sweet and sad. But redeeming. Great story. Great commentary on showbiz, and also on being honest with yourself, and standing up for yourself.
