What if Clint Eastwood and Mel Brooks became cartoonists and united to create the wackiest, most surreal musical western ever? That’s "Slide." It's the story of a corrupt logging village, Sourdough Creek, ruled by two evil twin brothers, Zeke and Jeb, who enjoy nothing more than killing and greed. One day a mysterious cowboy arrives in town, carrying nothing but his slide guitar. With his music, Slide battles the forces of the deadly twins. He befriends Delilah, who works as a hooker at the Lucky Buck Bar, which is owned and run by the corrupt, plump twins. Delilah falls in love with Slide and reveals how she wants to be a singer in the Lucky Buck Band, but is too shy. Then, Slide is joined in his battle with the twin forces of evil by a local Bigfoot-like character called "Hellbug." This whole menagerie is then complicated by the arrival of a Hollywood studio coming to shoot their new feature film there. The final Armageddon battle is interrupted by the failure of the Sourdough Creek Dam, which results in a happy ending... or does it? Although it is not a political film, Slide does address some important issues: environmentalism and gun control. This film should easily qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most evil killers of any major motion picture.
