G-Men from Hell

Running time: 97 mins

Crept and Mattress have gone to hell,...literally! Their last assignment, as cops, led to their demise at the hands of a thug. Now, the duo find themselves amidst Beelzebub's fiery depths, believing they were sent there by mistake and trying to find a way home. Following Satan one day, after his psychiatric appointment (C'mon! He feels depressed too!), our dynamic twosome learn the secret to getting back to earth lies in a few magic crystals. As fate would have it, they steal a crystal and head back home to set events straight. What happens next can only be believed by seeing. We can say, however, that it involves a mysterious superhero in a cheetah costume, and a bodacious babe for a secretary, a twisted police captain and one of Satan's dominions sent to track down the stolen crystal. Director Christopher Coppola's own brand of maverick storytelling melds perfectly with the strange world of G-Men from Hell (a story taken directly from cult hit comic, Grafik Muzik, by Michael Allred). With an all-star cast including William Forsythe (Raising Arizona), Tate Donovan (Hercules), Bobcat Goldthwait (Shakes the Clown), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon) and Robert Goulet (Beetlejuice) as the Devil, G-Men from Hell is a wild, warped and wacky ride to hell and back.
