They slaughtered his family, cut off his head, attached it to a human body, wired electrodes to his testicles and pumped him full of 50,000 volts. And now he wants REVENGE! After a Frankenstein like experiment goes horribly wrong, a chainsaw wielding Mad Cow goes on the rampage around the Boerewors Game lodge, leaving a trail of bad special effects in his wake. Enter under-cover cop Vince Chopper, who together with vegetarian waitress-turned-weapon-expert Charlize, does battle with Mad Cow in a series of off-the-wall set pieces. But prepare yourselves for a series of increasingly bizarre twists as it's never over when you think it's over. Mad Cow is the fast-paced, totally crazy comedy/horror movie that dares to go where Naked Gun, Scary Movie and Shaun of the Dead feared to tread.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Cow World
The greatest low-budget cow-slasher pun-imbibed 90 minutes I've ever spent. Best watched with a group of similarly minded friends, who don't mind when you dig your elbow into their side once again with another "Ha! Did you see THAT?" If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out. This should be the next big college cult classic!!

This is a fun, silly movie that pays homage to Monty Python ...
This is a fun, silly movie that pays homage to Monty Python and any number of farces. It's a fun look at South Africa also and uses all local talent which is nice to see! I had a great time watching it and if you're into puns and well timed one liners I think you will too!!

Don't be folled by the good reviews TRUE cult movie fans
Don't know what the hype about this film is but TRUE cult movie fans will not appreciate the over the top SILLY HUMOR. I hated every minute of this film and could only get through 3/4 of it, then I shut it off. It's just a man in a one piece pajama with an UNREALISTIC costume rental cow head. Nothing redeeming in this film what so ever. It does not even make the list, "SO BAD IT'S GOOD". This title will not reside in my movie collection and was properly disposed of.

Troma fun
*I received a review copy of this film in exchange for an honest reviewIf you’ve ever wondered what a horror movie about a half-man/half-cow lunatic wielding a chainsaw would look like, then MAD COW is the film for you. Seriously, though, the fine (and demented) folks at Troma once again display their brilliance with this film. Oh, it won’t be for everyone, that’s for sure…but if you’re a fan of Troma (and you know who you are), then you’ll love this movie. I enjoyed it immensely, and I plan on watching it again soon.I think Troma has topped themselves with this film. Over-the-top doesn’t even begin to describe the experience you get here…and that’s a good thing! Aside from the bizarre premise, the execution of this film is a slapstick lover’s dream, and I found myself laughing quite a bit throughout the whole thing.MAD COW is not shot very well, but it doesn’t need to be. The production value looks low, but again, that’s ok. You’re not watching this film to see high-budget special effects or top-notch acting. And if you are, then you are obviously not familiar with how Troma operates.The acting is atrociously good, and I love the performance given by Gregg Viljoen, who portrays Vince Chopper. Viljoen delivers one-liners like a pro, and his straight-face expression through everything is a huge part of what makes his character so much fun.The special effects in MAD COW are decent enough to pass off as entertaining. The mad cow costume cracks me up every time I see it, and the gore is plentiful and fun as well.MAD COW is a big win for me, and fans of Troma’s work will love it. This is the first Troma film to come from South Africa, so I guess you could say it’s “beefing” up Troma’s international library (sorry for the pun). Check this out if you like Troma…otherwise, you probably won’t care for it. The film is available now.

BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSY
Madcow is a spoof of the Frankenstein film. In this version a cow's head is attached to a super human body. This creature secures a chain saw and goes around killing people. The film makes fun of movie techniques used in action and horror films. It was at times amusing, but never a belly laugh. The girl reading her lines from a clipboard I thought was the best part.Guide: F-word, nudity (Lola the body double)
