"Physical education" has five characters: the two main characters, the crazy friend, the coach, and some other guy - call him John Doe. Apart from a brief introductory scene, the whole film is just a series of shorts depicting each person killing all of the others in varying ways and situations, except for John Doe who always just wanders in at the last minute in order to get killed. Along the way there's a scene of the three friends gang raping the coach, and a scene of the coach strangling the crazy friend to death during sex. The latter includes full frontal, but as always penetration is only implied.

"Buck" has a little more in the way of plot, but it's really just a protracted scene of the attempted rape, strangulation murder, and rape (in that order) of a male hooker who has kind of a repellent character. Example: after the john attempts to rape him but isn't able to sustain an erection, Buck's reaction, bizarrely, is to mock him. All penetration is implied, but sometimes there are protracted shots of full frontal.

The acting is sub-par, but that's really all you can expect from actors when made to work with this level of writing. I actually found the movie to be more entertaining on mute. If you're ok with watching pseudo-pornographic murder scene after pseudo-pornographic murder scene, then this movie is for you.

“The Buck Stops Here”
Two Weird Films

“The Buck Stops Here” is made up of two short films, “Physical Education” and “Buck”, neither of which are for the squeamish. Dead Guys Cinema which brings us the film is out to shock and shock it does.
“Physical Education” brings back memories of the P.E. teacher from hell. Two high school boys fantasize about how they would like to get even with him because he is hateful, mean, egotistical and homophobic. Coach Ed is not well loved. A friend of the guys decides that talk does nothing and he acts. He chloroforms the coach and brings him to the door of his two friends and then the guys lose all sense of reality and enact their fantasies of revenge. This is scary business.
“Buck” is about, quite naturally, Buck, a New York City hustler who is quite full of himself. When he goes out on a call with Bryan, his life is changed forever. Brian is a serial killer who subjects him to some pretty horrible goings-on before the kills him and has sex with his corpse.
Both films are highly sexual and are unlike anything you have seen before except from Dead Guys Cinema.
