Let's make a movie!

[Weeping With Pity]

So if someone were to make a low-budget B movie about The Potato That Terrorized Two Coasts, what cliches / tropes / stereotypes would we see?

For example, I feel the movie should open with two scientists, named Dr. Dusty and Dr. Corrie, discussing how exposing potatoes to radiation will solve world hunger, with a whole bunch of faceless extras in the background that the potato won't remember later when it goes on its rampage.

They already made a movie, though.

It would be a movie like zero dark thirty but instead of Osama being hunted it would be Phil and instead of hunting him in the middle east it would be the west coast. Phil's secret compound will be full of his asspatters who Phil uses as meat shields to save his butt from being shot by the kiwi team 6

They already have a music video about him right here. Just turn this into a full movie

I'm a big fan of diagetic music in films. The potato's East Coast rampage should begin somewhere where Pharoahe Monch's Simon Says is being played (because he's an East Coast MC and the track samples the theme from Godzilla vs Mothra, and Phil is/was a weeb).

There can be teeny tiny Jinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnay and Kinnay that sing to summon the potato.

It shouldn't be "make a movie". It should be " lets make a documentary about Phil".

I was envisoning some sort of irreverent semi-musical. Like one part Phantom of the Paradise, a jigger of Rocky Horror Picture show, and a sprig of Hairspray (the original, not the one with Tranvolta.)

It shouldn't be "make a movie". It should be " lets make a documentary about Phil".

But I wanted it to be "goofy horror people laugh at" not "let's see how fast we can make the audience throw up"

How much footage of Phil do we have? There's about 40 videos on the Australatina Archive YT channel - is that it?

It would need some body horror of him slowly becoming more and more potato like

This is dangerously close to a "What If?".
