Product Description

Product Description

Completely UNCUT for the first time ever in the UK! Bubby's entire knowledge of the universe stops at the walls of the two-room slum he has been confined to for the thirty-eight years since his birth. He knows of the existence of only himself and his mother. He plays with his feral cat and the cockroaches. Mom vaguely looks after him. Until Pop comes home. Suddenly, the universe is a more complicated place than Bubby had thought. Theories of existence and behaviour are overthrown in a wild revolution that lead Bubby to seeing "Outside" for the first time. "Outside" is a very, very strange, wonderful and terrible place, with People in it, and Music, and Pizzas, and Trees. It is a place where survival depends not on who you are, but on who you seem to be, and if there's one thing Bubby's thirty-eight years of deprivation have prepared him for, it's how to seem like someone else.

Review

MENTAL. That's probably the best word to describe this Australian cult classic from 1993. It's a twisted rock'n'roll car crash of a film. The Bubby of the title, played by Nicholas Hope, is a man-child who has spent his entire life to date being locked in a grim apartment by his own mother, who regularly has sex with him. Don't see that kind of thing in films very often, eh? After Bubby finally escapes, the wide world offers a baffling array of possibilities. Crime, women, pizza, rock music. He slowly learns to speak and also manages to murder the odd person. Eventually, he takes the only sensible course of action and becomes the frontman in a rock band. Mad as a balloon full of custard and twice as much fun, Bad Boy Bubby just yearns to be seen. [Jason Arnopp, Metal Hammer] --Jason Arnopp, Metal Hammer

5.0 out of 5 starsAvoid this at your peril
By R. Tutt on 17 May 2007
Format: DVD
I wanted to switch it off after 20 minutes but please bear with it. I'm not easily offended, but the slow opening scenes of cruelty and incest were nearly too much. It's about a simple man called "Bubby," held captive by his deranged mother in a room for his entire life of 35 years. He only knows his mother, his poor cat and the four, filthy walls of the room. His absent father turns up unexpectedly and Bubby's world is turned upside down.

I don't want to say much else as it will ruin it. But I must say that any film where a person robs a petrol station with a dead cat must be viewed. If you are religious avoid this, as its underlying message is that "it is our duty to think god out of existence" and that "we are merely just a bunch of complicated atoms that don't live or die, just change shape or form."

This film will make you cry with laughter, writhe with disgust and above all consider life, religion and society. A true cult classic with a good moral message and by far the best film I've ever seen.

4.0 out of 5 starsFuture-Proof Obscenity Armageddon
By Brady Orme VINE VOICE on 30 Jun. 2009
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Isn't it fitting that, on the same week that Lars Von Trier's "Antichrist" was passed uncut for viewing in the UK by the BBFC, that a super-deluxe version of Rolf De Heer's "Bad Boy Bubby" was announced by those scions of excellence, Eureka. The reason for this is perfectly clear : Both movies push the boundaries of Taste to a region scarcely visited by man and Cinema Afficionado. Strange that this film comes from a country who's view of stringent censorship borders on the fanatical sometimes, but there you go.

The movie tells the story of Bubby (Nicholas Hope), a 35 year-old man who has never set foot outside mother Claire Benito's house thanks to her informing him that poisonous and noxious vapours fill the air outside. Shades of the Victorian's fear of "Night Air" perhaps? Regardless, Bubby's father (Ralph Cotteril) returns after many years of absence and Bubby falls out of favour with mom - He is cast into the outside World for the first time and finds himself in an X-Rated version of Hal Ashby's "Being There", without the satirical elements about failing upwards. Oh, and did I mention it's a Black Comedy filled with incest, violence and animal cruelty? Rolf Harris does not approve.

So it's a film exclusively for those who seek out upset on purpose, really. You could live your Life quite happily without ever having seeing it, but for those who LIKE obscenity well, you've hit the motherlode with this one. And what's more, Eureka really justify re-issuing the film with this package. It's "future-proofed", as it consists of 3 discs which contain 3 different formats of the film... Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital Copy. Hence, you can buy this pack safe in the knowledge that no matter what hardware you own, you'll be able to watch and/or upgrade later (VHS Lovers were not available for comment). So, you can't complain, simple as that. Please.

5.0 out of 5 starsTranscends it's limitations with ease.
By D. Payne on 8 Sept. 2007
Format: DVD
There is a pivotal point about 30 minutes into this film where what seems to be a potentially heart-rending film about sufferers of domestic/sexual abuse features a jarring moment of completely misplaced humour that threatens to derail the entire project. By this time you are also painfully aware that despite an astounding central performance by Nicholas Hope, almost everyone else in the film has the acting ability of a first year drama student. That the film goes on to transcend both of these unfortunate aspects to rank alongside some of the greatest movies I have ever seen is testament to the belief and (for want of a better word) 'balls' that the makers have displayed throughout this remarkable movie. The film frequently teeters on the edge of pretention and even condescencion without ever succumbing to them and prevails with a final hour that takes in religious pondering, racism, environmental concern and an unbelievably prescient commentary on the cult of celebrity without ever forgetting that it's essentially the tale of one man adrift in a strange world. You will sit through the final credits shocked, damaged, possible even offended but certainly not unaffected and very probably uplifted by a movie that you will not forget for a long time. A stone cold classic in every sense.

5.0 out of 5 starsbetter than forrest gump, which it essentially is
By kennedydotcom on 19 April 2010
Format: Blu-ray
This film was on channel 4 (uk) a couple of years after it came out, as part of their 'extreme' season. I can't remember any of the others but for some reason I recorded bubby and am so glad I did. It came out at a similar time to mike leighs 'naked', and for me overtook it in terms of its optimism for us.
Both brilliant films, naked shows johnny as a conscious social parasite, whereas bubby is naive in the extreme on his quest to fill the next hour. I didn't see forrest gump until 2000, and as soon as it started all I could think of was bubby. Gump and bubby (and yes chauncy gardner) are thrown into a world that has no want or need for them, and by random actions become celebrities through no fault of their own. Gump and bubby are the same person, except gump lives in a nicer post code. They learn through their mothers and repeat their lessons. Their fates are out of their tiny minds, and they're the better for that. Both bear sons and settle with a family, outcomes unthinkable at the start of each film.
These two are anti anti heroes, kicking against a system they have no idea exists. They break rules they have no knowledge of, rules imposed and followed by those not questioning them, which is a total bummer, man. I've just read this and realised I haven't told you a thing about either film. Buy me a pint and i'll tell you all about it. I don't own the blu-ray three-disc "perfect until the next format comes out" (dam you gil bates, you cockpuncher) version yet but:

a) I'm about to go and buy it, and
b) so should you.Read more ›
