Details
Movie Description
Shakes the Clown (Goldthwait, who also wrote and directed) drinks too much, is late to birthday parties and his girlfriend calls it quits when he misses her big bowling tournament. But things get worse when the clown dispatcher is found dead and Shakes becomes the prime suspect. He's on the run to prove his innocence, save the woman he loves from an evil clown and come to terms with the realization that he's a serious boozer. Billed as "The CITIZEN KANE of alcoholic clown movies," SHAKES also features a then unknown Sandler in a bit part as well as a scene-stealing, foulmouthed turn from Page, better know as Aunt Esther of TV's "Sanford and Son."
Synopsis
Bobcat Goldthwait's cult horror comedy, with lots of grossness and lots of fun.
In the small town of Palukaville, USA, a friendly but alcoholic clown named Shakes earns his living entertaining children. But his comic antics come to a halt when a rival buffoon murders Shakes' manager and frames the unfortunate lush for the crime.
Now it's up to Shakes to discover the truth... or it's prison stripes instead of clown suits for him.
Film Notes
Robin Williams' cameo (credited as Marty Fromage) as a domineering mime instructor has its moments. Foto-Kem Color
