I don’t link to the trailer to show off the film’s quality. This thing looks like absolute shit. I’m just trying to dissuade admirers of André Roussimoff from seeing this film.
Even discounting the fact that this is a shot-on-video (SOV) film, Andre: Heart of the Giant gets everything wrong. The first fourteen seconds of this trailer are an absolute laugh riot. Junkyard Dog looks more like Kamala. There’s a scene with “Sex Addict French Girl.” Just wait until you see Vince McMahon!
Daniel Gilchrist tries, but he doesn’t look like André the Giant at all. Matthew McGrory was originally cast as André the Giant but died during filming. How did McGrory go from House of 1000 Corpses and Big Fish to this?
Only one word comes to mind when watching this trailer: gormless. Cinematic Titanic needs to riff this, and soon.
