Bob Sapp, Start Working on Your Oscar Speech!


(Props: Fightlinker)

Bob Sapp has lent his hulking, cartoonish presence to such critically acclaimed films as Big Stan and Elektra, but his next movie, titled Frankenhood, could be his biggest challenge yet. DreadCentral (via Fightlinker) gots da synopsis:

Motown (DeRay Davis) and Darius (Jasper Redd) work in a morgue, trading put-downs and toiling among the most undemanding of customers. But outside of their decidedly dreary jobs, the two dream of bigger and better things. If only they could win the $25,000 prize that will go to the winners of the upcoming 3-on-3 Streetball Tournament. One night, having been demoted to graveyard shift, they run into their semi-sane colleague Franklin (Charlie Murphy) in a dark alley outside the morgue. They find Franklin using the auto battery of Motown’s precious Gremlin to bring to life a monstrous dead man (Bob Sapp) whose heart Franklin has just replaced. That 3-on-3 basketball tournament isn’t looking so bad…if they can just get their new mutant friend to play basketball!

Holy Fucking Shit. It’s like a Tracy Jordan movie, but real. It’s also worth mentioning that the director of Frankenhood is a man named Blaxwell Smart, which I’m convinced is just a pseudonym for Ron Howard.

You have to give Bob credit — the man has never been afraid to humiliate himself for money. But here’s the problem: Who would look at Sapp’s dead body and think "basketball ringer"? He’s about as tall as a shooting-guard, and on the wrong side of 350 pounds. When Michael J. Fox put on the fur suit in Teen Wolf and started dunking on fools, I was like, "yeah, I can see that happening." Now cut to the set of Frankenhood, where a dangerously winded Bob Sapp is sucking an oxygen mask after doing one take of a scene where he has to zombie-walk downcourt.

Another question: What are Motown and Darius going to do with that $25,000 prize to turn their lives around? (Don’t say "scratch tickets.") And what will happen to their mutant friend after they’ve achieved their goal? Are they just going to rip out his battery and shove him in the dumpster? Can JB Smoove possibly save this wreck? Will Tyler Perry direct the sequel? Is it weird that I kind of want to rent this movie to see how it plays out?

    If anything this should be called "the green mile II"

    They should have had Nogueira be the star, as his appearance is much more reminiscent of Frankenstein than Sapp.

    Shouldn't it be called Franken-hooPs? Or is Box Office Poison better?

    @ xocgx: It should be called "Weekend at Black Bernie's"

    Couldnt they find anyone that at least looks like they can play B-ball? I mean Bob Sapp? ..... When they were filming this do you think if Bob forgot a line he just broke down crying?

    I'll never risk checking out this movie just because I'm the type of person that usually has to finish a movie once I start it, no matter how bad it is. Example, I sat through My Boss's Daughter, Ace Ventura Jr. Pet Detective, and Disaster Movie.

    @ Dave W Ace Ventura Jr was even worse than Son of the Mask and Dumb and Dumberer. Why are they raping Jim Carrey classics? If they touch Liar Liar, someone's head is coming off.

    Just because Sapp's black doesn't mean he can play ball. He's not athletic enough to dribble a ball with both hands with his head up. He'd probably collapse from exhaustion after running full court.

    Black comedies are the worst fucking movies ever. I can't believe Cage Potato would spend 20 fucking minutes writing about this.

    If I wanted to win a street hoops tourney, an ex-lineman/super heavyweight feakshow brawler would be my first pick. Then I would write a script about it and bring in mo' money. But in my movie Eddy Murphy would wear a latex Bob Sapp suit and play all of the other characters except for Charlie Murphy's role.

    Yeah, the part where Sapp's acting consists of laying on a table.

    The best part is, the size of the upper bodies on the poster are all scaled equally. Bob Sapp just has a giant head

    Seeing how much potential this movie had, Bernie Mac went ahead and removed himself from the cast.

    Maybe the directors meant to get Terry Crews but misread the credits in The Longest Yard.....yea that must be it.
