Dork of the Rings

Richardson Productions LLC., 100 min, NR

DVD $20

I first read the Lord of the Rings over thirty years ago. I read the spoof Bored of the Rings about twenty-five years ago. I have been waiting for this kind of video ever since. The DVD has all the earmarks of a schlock classic, a good story, great locations, and unforgettable characters. This one also has the weirdest, most deranged twist on a classic since Spaceballs.

The story follows Frudo as he is tricked into taking the One Ring of Circular Credit to Lardor so he can close Lord Mauron’s account. He is accompanied by Ham, Gimpi the (computer geek) Dweeb, Legoblocks the (pompodored) Elfis, Randolf the (perverted) Wizard, Princess (butch, or is that bitch?) Femowen, Arrogant (don’t touch the ‘do) the Rangler, and Scrottum (don’t ask). He is chased by Nosedrools (just like they sound), and Sporks (think Orks on a cheap plastic budget).

Most of the bad guys from the Lord of the Rings are represented. But by far the most twisted one is Martha the Steward. She is the assistant manager at the mall but desires to run her own Dorkmart. The movie is hilarious and will be shown at CopperCon this year.

This DVD will leave you laughing. Four and a half Stars out of Five. - Bob LaPierre
