Summary: An American soldier is killed over in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. However, he is not really dead for some reason, and gets all pissed off when anyone shows weakness or does something unpatriotic. So he kills people. Sounds good so far, right? Just you wait.....
The soldier was once the uncle of a kid named Jody whose parents must have hated him so much to give him such a name. The soldier's name was Sam, thus playing into an ironic twist into which he was called "Uncle Sam" by little mullet-headed Jody. Well this little twerp Jody totally worshipped his crazy dead but not dead Uncle so when Sam came home in a box, Jody was fascinated with it and claimed he wanted to be a hero just like his dead uncle. But there is a twist to the story.....
Sam the soldier escapes his coffin and frolics about until he discovers a man in an Uncle Sam costume preparing for the upcoming 4th of July parade. Of course, he cuts his face off with hedging shears and steals his cutesy outfit. The new "Uncle Sam" finds neonazis defacing a flag and his grave in the cemetary. Of course, Sam spray paints one of them in the face with red, white, and blue paint, tosses him into an empty grave, and buries him alive. He then raises another one on a flag pole. (Interestingly enough, the next day and many days after, nobody mentions finding the young boy hung at the top of a flag pole in the cemetary, but I suppose the town was too busy to even notice such a usual occurrence. Best scene: The last neonazi reaches an especially ugly fate. During the festivities of the parade, the young boy cheats at a potato sack race only to find himself lost in an orchard. He sees Uncle Sam standing among the trees and begins to hop away in his sack. Uncle Sam lops off his face with a cleaver and then licks the blade.
Jody and his friends were able to defeat the crazed Uncle Sam with a cannon and a lot of luck, blowing up Jody's house in the process, successfully ending a totally crappy movie with a totally crappy ending. |
