Strange Chemistry (1986)
“When chemistry goes wrong… it goes STRANGE.” "Meet Alan and Casey, two brainiacs with zero luck in love and even less luck in the lab. But when their ‘science fair’ project involves stolen toxic waste, leftover cafeteria meatloaf, and a car battery… let’s just say sparks fly—literally. The result? A walking, talking chemistry set with curves, claws, and a dangerously short half-life. Now the boys must survive jealous jocks, nosy teachers, mall meltdowns, and a prom night gone nuclear before their creation blows the roof off suburbia. Get ready for slime, synths, and a whole lot of laughs—because when love is unstable, the formula is always… STRANGE CHEMISTRY." Rated R for: Radical Reactions, Gooey Mutations, and Totally Tubular Romance "What a disappointment Strange Chemistry is! Someone has taken a cute idea about two teenage Dr. Frankensteins creating a perfect woman by chemicals and meatloaf and turned it into a vulgar, mindless, special-effects-cluttered wasteland." — Gene Sickle "Like a little boy playing with his first chemistry set, the director has thrown together the labelled contents of just about every teen-film cliche. And the experiment is a failure of excess - like a furious potion that bubbles up, fizzes briefly, and then fizzles out before expectant, and then disappointed, eyes." — The Deville Post "The center of the film is the simple, almost elementary insight that fantasies can be hazardous: You've got to be careful what you ask for, because you might get it." — Roger Eggbert
