Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Carl Buechler was considered to direct the film. His version of the story was going to be a straight up horror film. The Garbage Pail Kids would have spawned from radioactive sludge that had found its way to a garbage can filled with broken dolls, turning them into serial killers.
- GoofsIn the cinema, Messy Tessie has a bag of popcorn full to the top. She then sneezes and half of the popcorn flies over the cinema, yet in the next shot her bag of popcorn is still full to the top.
- Quotes
Foul Phil - Suit: My tummy hurts!
Greaser Greg - Suit: What did you eat?
Foul Phil - Suit: Everything!
Greaser Greg - Suit: That makes sense!
- Alternate versionsThe UK video version was cut by 26 secs for a PG certificate with edits to imitable techniques and to remove all shots of Greg's flick knife. The DVD features the same cut print. Only in 2024 was this censorship waived and the BBFC rating is now 12.

Featured review
Wow Nostalgia Critic wasn't joking This Movie is GOD AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
What In the world is this Garbage. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a 1987 Cult Film Directed By Rod Amateau. The Movie is about a boy named Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) who has bullied by these A**holes who pick on him. This Movie is Just Nasty, Mean, Gross and just Awful. The Whole State Home for the Ugly thing is just stupid and wrong. Their a lot of Beer Drinking and Some kids are smoking. This Movie should be PG-13 instead PG. I Loved the Nostalgia Critic review on this movie and he is right about this movie is not made for kids. This movie is Pure Evil. I would stay away from this movie. Anyway I give this Movie a Zero for being that bad. See You Later People. BYE. F*CK THIS MOVIE >;( Updated on February 9th, 2017
