Watch King Frat For Free
King Frat
Set on the quiet campus of Yellowstream University, this comedy follows the rivalries that build between two of the college's fraternities. When they're not mooning everyone they pass and throwing garbage on the lawns of rival frats, the members of the Pi Kappa Delta fraternity are mainly interested in drinking and... well, drinking. When a campus-wide farting contest is announced, Grossout, the leader of the Deltas, is all too eager to stand up, bend over and defend the honor of his fraternity.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Purely Joyful Movie!
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This is a film where the idea of comedy is a peeing statue with a huge penis. Later on in the movie, said phallus falls off. Hadehaha. Before that we were subjected to the delights of a fart contest where a dog goes airborne through its gas, guests forced to inhale a massive spliff at a funeral through a air shaft and some hijinx with a blow up doll who can talk very dirty indeed with a recorded voice. Said sex toy belongs to a disgusting, fat student aptly called Gross-out, who makes himself puke so he can drink more booze and moons passing deans and sorority chicks in a dump of a car. Believe me, one shot of his flabby ass is bad enough, but after the fifth peek at his posterior it almost burnt my corneas out. Overkill, anyone? I can imagine the makers wrote him in as someone the target audience could relate to because he 'rebels' against the system, but if that's what becoming a loose cannon turns you into, sign me up for Yale right now. Heard enough?No? Alright..Other completely un-hilarious characters include an Native American who insists that Yellowsteam University is so named because his ancestors peed in the water because of their contempt for the white man (Hodehoho) and the campus nerd complete with ridiculous haircut and glasses who is so smart you wonder why he hangs around with a bunch of losers. In between two plays of the awful theme tune and more toilet humour than you'd find in an entire season of South Park, you see a troupe of neophyte actors flailing against a useless script by mugging to the camera and humiliating themselves for laffs, and coming up short every time. Or more accurately, missing the target by a solar system or two. I s'pose you've all gotta start somewhere, but beginning your career in this movie akin to starting your first day at the circus as the guy who sticks his head in the lion's mouth. It's cheap, nasty, and only worth showing to a convention of masochists. I give it 1/10, now go while I expunge my head of all trace of this rubbish *REPEATEDLY BANGS SELF ON HEAD WITH FRYING PAN*
I saw this movie in the middle eighties, and I never forgot...I love the lame humor, the pointless gags and the "every day is a party" kind of lifestyle..Scenes like when they place some dog droppings in the ventilation of a church,where there's a funeral going on....I love this scene.Or when the "Gorilla" is stuck inside the girl and a ambulance arrives is hilarious...along with the scene in the "rubble" house, where the cook dumps spaghetti on the wall to see if its ready...is memorable...The most funny part is the farting contest.....even the dog drinks some farting elixir...and explode like a rocket... :-) Its so lame its funny.....
This movie severely thrashes all the other college movies out there. It tramples on the "PCU", "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Road Trip", although if you liked any of those you'd love "King Frat". Instead of being one continuous unbelievable story, like "Nerds" or "Animal House", "King Frat" is more of a compilation of vignettes about the frat boys, which, when you think about it, is really closer to what college life is really like: one prank after another. It pulls each scene off well, except the prostitution scene, and keeps themes running through the film. But what separates this film from the rest, and even bigger budget movies with a wider release area, is the characterization. I have never seen a film where the characters are as well portrayed and with such honesty. It's a gem, if you watch this film prepare to be amazed. I've actually had friends write term papers on this movie.Ok, some of the scenes do go nowhere, but that's not the point. It's a movie about college pranksters and if you're looking for Shakespeare, this ain't it. But it is entertaining in a crude, heart-of-gold kind of way. A lot like "Animal House" (John DiSanti plays the Budget Belushi well), of course, but unique and special in itself. It's a shame that "King Frat" didn't get a large theatrical release, or any publicity of any kind, because it really is a pretty good goofy movie. Everyone to whom I showed this movie loved it and I've heard it has a pretty good cult following (in Australia of all places).If you can find it, get it. It's not for everyone but it's a film everyone should give a good fair chance.
This film opened in Seattle only in two drive-in's as KING "#*!x" FRAT with a girl who is not in the movie standing in front of a cartoon frat house. (the second week, the film because 2nd feature to PROM NIGHT). The film has some funny moments, but some gags goes on forever. Desantis, who worked for the director before, is way too old for the belushi part as a fat crazy frat guy. The title song "king Frat" is pretty catchy. The film is under several different titles on video like CAMPUS KINGS (might be public domain). Recommended to high school college kids who want to see ANIMAL HOUSE type film.
