Movie Description
Lovable bad boy Jack Nicholson stars in two modest films that are low on budget but high laughs and illicit thrills. King of the B's, director Roger Corman shot LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, a crazy beat-era classic, in a mere two days, but it packs plenty of inspired lunacy and clever bits in its 70-minute running time. Jonathan Haze stars as clumsy assistant florist Seymour, who saves his job in Mr. Mushnik's skid-row flower shop when he brings in a unique man-eating plant. The problem is, it is a very hungry plant. Every night it opens its huge jaws and demands to be fed, forcing poor Seymour to take to the street in search of victims, lest he disappoint his boss and his adoring girlfriend, Audrey (Jackie Joseph). From a zingy script by Charles Griffith, this hilarious black comedy overflows with great ideas and characters: Corman regular Dick Miller plays a hipster who eats flowers, and a very young Nicholson takes a memorable turn as a masochistic dental patient. DRAGNET-style detective Joe Fink (Wally Campo) narrates as he slowly begins to track the killer down. VELOCITY is a low-budget adventure about a young hot-rodder (Nicholson) who tries to break up a friends romance by kidnapping his straight-laced girlfriend, which turns out to be a dangerous venture with tragic results. Roger Corman's cut of THE WILD RIDE colorized with a new soundtrack and modern footage, features Jack Nicholson in one of his first starring roles
