	slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - Broken Lizard's Club Dread
		Not unlike their last film, Super Troopers, the comedy team Broken Lizard (seemingly trying to brand themselves as the new National Lampoon) puts themselves in all the starring roles here and brings on one real actor to anchor the thing.
		While at first it's a relief that Broken Lizard doesn't try to spoof specific horror films, a la the Scary Movie franchise, that might ultimately have been a better road for it to have taken—at least then it might have been possible to remember more of the film.
		In fact, they're pretty non-stop: Danny Boyle apparently shot the opening title sequence; digital wizards had to remove Erik's "stack" during the campfire sequence; and since the film's extras were cast in Mexico, you can tell that the supposedly white resort in the film isn't, well, so white after all during some long shots.

	Review: Broken Lizard's Club Dread
		Comedy group Broken Lizard (they hate being called a "troupe") broke out onto the scene back in early 2001 when they showcased their film Super Troopers at the Sundance Film Festival.
		I had seen Broken Lizard's first film, Super Troopers, and was impressed by the type of dead-pan humor that they used.
		Broken Lizard fans will definitely ensure a successful opening and be slightly disappointed, while newcomers to the group who haven't seen Super Troopers will probably laugh their asses off.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Night Waves - The Lizard
		Isabel Hilton and guests discuss The Lizard, a comedy which played to packed houses in Iran before the Islamic clergy forced the government to suppress the film.
		Also, a review of the controversial Iranian comic film, The Lizard. The film, a satire cum parable, pokes gentles fun at the country's Islamic clergy, and proved such a hit in Iran that cinema goers queued round the block to see it.
		Patrick Hamilton is most famously remembered as the author of Gaslight and Rope, both of which were turned into successful films by Hitchcock.

	IGN: Club Dread Review
		Though Paxton isn't even one of the members of the Broken Lizard comedy troop, he seems to understand the tone of the film better than the rest of the cast.
		For the Broken Lizard gang, it's too bad they had to wait until they'd already finished their film to get an outside opinion.
		Paxton plays a hippie burnout singer who's bitter that his song "Pina Coladaburg" was superseded in fame by Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville." He stumbles through the film, stinking drunk and muttering mantra's for his "paradise" resort staff to follow and playing goof-ball acid burnout songs with his guitar.

	The View Askewniverse Message Board :: View topic - Broken Lizard
		The first Broken Lizard film was the as-yet unreleased PUDDLE CRUISER, and Broken Lizard submitted (and got into and screened) said film at the Sundance Film Festival, and also sent a VHS screener to the View Askew offices.
		Yadda yadda yadda, we all hit it off, Rich came on as the producer of BIG HELIUM DOG, and since we were all big PUDDLE CRUISER/Broken Lizard fans, most of the Broken Lizard team came on board to appear in acting roles in BIG HELIUM DOG, and the rest is history.
		I checked out the Broken Lizard website, and it says that Puddle Cruiser will be released soon enough.

	Encyclopedia: Black Lizard
		Black Lizard is also the name of a popular mystery novel by Japanese author Edogawa Rampo which was adapted to film by Kinji Fukasaku, starring Yukio Mishima.
		Lizard is single-handedly responsible for renewing the interest in pulp master Jim Thompson in the late 1980s, long after his death, which resulted in several film adaptations of his novels.
		Barry Gifford's relationship with Black Lizard is also sometimes credited with having first applied the term noir fiction to a certain sub-genre of hardboiled fiction.

	DVD review of Broken Lizard's Club Dread - DVD Town
		Broken Lizard is the group that previously gave us "Super Troopers," a film I found extraordinarily corny, brainless, and juvenile but which is enjoyed by a seemingly ever-growing number of fans.
		The Broken Lizard team of actors, writers, and directors who make these things seem like funny, personable folks in their films, and one can easily see their intentions are well meaning.
		But, then, maybe the filmmaking team of Broken Lizard, who created this 2004 comedy, were making a dare.

	Broken Lizard's Club Dread
		Broken Lizard (Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske) again tries to inject as many jokes as humanly possible into their story, and the result is hit and miss.
		Unfortunately, because Broken Lizard wants each of its members to play a role, many of the staff members are indistinguishable.
		Broken Lizard clearly works well together, playing off each other's strengths.

	Broken Lizard's Club Dread DVD - RopeofSilicon.com
		The Broken Lizard comedy team has become the target of a group of comedy cult gurus, whom I am sure will enjoy hearing their favs talk about the film, but for others it just won't tickle their funny bone.
		Along with the movie the only special features are two audio commentaries one with the director Jay Chandrasekhar and the other with the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, both of which are similar in style, and for me, both are trying too hard to be funny.
		The two commentaries are so similar in style and content that they really should have been turned into one, since it is a little difficult having to watch the film a second time, let alone a third.

	Filmtracks: Godzilla (David Arnold)
		The brooding theme for the lizard itself, highlighted in the opening credits of the film, is ironically the least interesting.
		A terrible plot and extremely harsh ciritcal response to the film put a dent in Devlin and Emmerich's action film careers, and would be noted by film music fans as the end --at least for a while-- of the working relationship between the two filmmakers and their friend and composer David Arnold.
		In the central portion of the film and score, when the main character is taken off the case, Arnold kicks in a dramatic secondary love theme that prevails in several cues later in the score.

		GODZILLA: The testing of nuclear weapons in the Pacific Ocean triggers the awakening of a dreadful, 400-foot-tall, fire-breathing prehistoric lizard who commences to wreak havoc on the city of Tokyo.
		The film brings back all the old tricks, with special effects akin to the Godzilla films of yore and plenty of monster mania.

	Broken Lizard's Club Dread Review :: Hollywood.com
		Staff members keep dying at the hand of a masked, machete-wielding madman in comedy troupe Broken Lizard's follow-up to their breakout film Super Troopers.
		The hackneyed scene where the killer reveals why he went on his rampage is so rushed and throwaway it almost seems that the filmmakers didn't spend as much time and effort thinking up a reason for the killing as they did planning the death tableaus.

	Salon "Spawn"
		For example, if the unimaginative hell sequences had been reserved for, say, the climax of the film, audiences might be distracted from the fact that the hero really only seems to be trapped inside a lava lamp with a rickety lizard marionette.
		The character is a rehash of Spiderman, the film's look borrows liberally from Tim Burton's "Batman" and White is the poor man's Denzel Washington, the way Randle is the poor man's Angela Bassett and Leguizamo and Sheen (in these roles at least) are the poor man's Danny DeVito and Gene Hackman, respectively.
		Finally, there's no indication that anyone with a sense of dramatic structure had a hand in "Spawn" -- which is not surprising, perhaps, in a film helmed by technicians.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: "Broken Lizard's Club Dread"
		If the Broken Lizard has another opportunity to make a film (that sound you hear is me fingering rosary beads, praying that doesn’t happen), maybe they should just have it feature each member of the troupe simply introducing themselves.
		I’ll admit, I was no fan of the Broken Lizard’s last film,“ Super Troopers.” “Club Dread” presents a nice new locale for the comedy troupe to work with, along with an interesting stab at a tricky mixture of genres: gruesome horror and comedy.
		As neat and admirable as the idea for “Club Dread” is, the Lizard gang once again sinks a good idea with their trademarked laugh-free brand of joke telling and acting.

	deseretnews.com Broken Lizard's new spoof is a hit
		For the most part, "Broken Lizard's Club Dread" is so expertly executed that it would be easy to mistake it for a slasher thriller instead of a parody of slasher films.
		"Broken Lizard's Club Dread" is rated R for scenes of horror violence (including various stabbings and slashings), occasional use of strong sexual profanity and crude sexual slang terms, graphic gore, simulated drug use (marijuana and ecstacy), male and female nudity, and scenes of simulated sex.
		This is very different from what the Broken Lizard comedy team has done before.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Broken Lizard's Club Dread
		Whether it works or not is a little hard to say; like "Super Troopers" (2002), the previous film by the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, it has lovable performances, very big laughs, and then some down time while everybody (in the cast as well as the audience) waits to see what willhappen next.
		The leader of the troupe and director of both films is Jay Chandrasekhar, whose character in "Super Troopers" took delight in spreading confusing hints about his ethnic origin.
		"Broken Lizard's Club Dread" is a definitive demonstration, if one is needed, that "The Real Cancun" was way too real.

	Broken Lizard's Club Dread (2004): Kevin Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter - PopMatters Film Review
		Broken Lizard (founded, appropriately, on a college campus) is too democratic (and maybe, in its gaggle of alterna-frat dudes, a touch too generic) to have a breakout star, although Kevin Heffernan, the goodhearted masseur Lars here and the splendid jackass Farva in Troopers, comes close.
		I remain hopeful, and convinced that Broken Lizard is a basically funny entity.
		Sketch troupes are the future of comedy on film.

	MIRACLE (WIDESCREEN) + BROKEN LIZARD'S CLUB DREAD - DVDs
		The seventies and eighties also return in Broken Lizard's Club Dread (chasing Miracle in theatres and now on DVD), a tepid slasher spoof singularly elevated, if not redeemed, by a nude scene from Cabin Fever's Jordan Ladd.
		It's a shame that, like the makers of Miracle, the comedic ensemble Broken Lizard were game to revive a bygone ethic with a script that's merely passé.
		It's even there in how "Dream On" turns cynical on a dime, underscoring a series of American Graffiti post-scripts that portend a depressing fate for many of the players portrayed in the film as real estate agents and insurance brokers.

		The eagerly anticipated Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard begins in December from Avatar, and the Hypothetical Lizard section has a peek at the cover to issue #1, plus other assorted artwork.
		Moore has worked on a variety of other comics projects over the past 15 years, such as Big Numbers, A Small Killing, and From Hell (recently adapted in the Johnny Depp / Heather Graham film).
		Written as sort of a capstone for the superhero comic, the project also provided the genre with a new beginning, forcing creators and publishers to look at their venerable heroes in new ways.
