	Movies - Porklips Now

'Porklips Now' is a short, low budget parody film, made in 1980 by the American director Ernie Fosselius, based on the 1979 motion picture Apocalypse Now.

It chronicles the journey of a gardener and handyman, Dullard, sent to Chinatown by two butchers, to meet a business rival, Fred "madman" Mertz, and "take care of business". The film cleverly and humorously incorporates references to signature elements of the film on which it is based, albeit in a somewhat conspicuously low-budget manner.

Echoing a widely-held, if erroneous belief about Apocalypse Now, the film features several alternate endings.
