| GreenCineAaron HillisFrom rockabilly freakouts to an acoustic lullaby, the soundtrack here is diverse, catchy and easily the film's most exuberantly charming quality. |
| User ReviewJoshua BIts shot episodically... and once you buy into its universe, it is pure magic and hilarity 'til the end! |
| User ReviewLane LAnother great one from Cory McAbee. Lame that there is no trailer. Yahoo, wtf? |
| User ReviewBrian RI always give Cory McAbee 5 stars for awesomeness and imagination. |
| User ReviewDavid SAwesome movie with great acting. It is full of irony, funny story twists and good humor. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewEric AWith "Stingray Sam," Cory McAbee takes the elements of his intriguing cult film/happening "The American Astronaut" - roughnecks in space, a Homeric journey, a cleverly and constantly-explained backstory - and imbues it with all of the humor that "Astronaut" lacked. That, however, was an art film and this is more like a Saturday serial, and McAbee alters his performance accordingly to match that of the perpetually persevering matinee hero. Offscreen, he's still the same resourceful, perversely imaginative creative force that he's always been, but by reining in all his wildest ideas he has crafted a better and sweeter film overall. What a difference a dad makes. |
| User ReviewKent GSomeone has to give Corey McAbee the funding to make more than one film every nine years! Stingray Sam is a another unique and completely entertaining science fiction western musical comedy done in short segments as the Flash Gordon serials were...Here you follow Stingray and the Quasar Kid as scam their way in finding and rescuing a young girl (played to wide-eyed perfection by Willa Vy McAbee, daughter of Corey) and to bring her back to her father. Each segment features a song by McAbee's band American Astronaut and the songs do not disappoint. This is truly "event" filmmaking which I would gladly see anytime. I want more Stingray Sam! |
| User ReviewShannon KMusical Space Western! Not as good as American Astronaut, but still pretty amusing. The song "Peg Legged Father" is probably the "best" children's song ever written. |
| User ReviewCraig GSome very catchy songs partnered with a bizarre sense of humor. Stingray Sam is like putting Zappa, Tom Waits, Sergio Leone and Kurt Vonnegut in a blender and hitting "liquify" |
| User ReviewGreg Mtotally bizarre space western musical -- I did not even know about this sub genre! And just the secret hand shake is worth watching this (it may be the reason for making this in the first place.) |
