10 Movies So Crazy They Shouldn't Exist
5. Freddy Got Fingered
Five Golden Raspberry 'wins' should indicate how the Tom Green-written, Tom Green-directed, Tom Green-starring Freddy Got Fingered turned out...
Given the success of The Tom Green Show at the time, you can understand why 20th Century Fox moved forward with a comedy that had Green front-and-centre. The problem is, someone somewhere absolutely should have pulled the reigns in on the project and not allowed Green - and his Tom Green Show co-writer Derek Harvie - to have pretty much complete creative control.
An extremely opinion-splitting comedian even when he was at the peak of his powers, Freddy Got Fingered was all of Tom Green's worst instincts and habits turned up to 11, including a scene where Green literally masturbates a horse for real. Yes, for real. No props, no magical special effects, not even a glove - just Tom Green's very real hand on a very real horse's very real erect penis.
In terms of plot, Green's struggling cartoonist Gord and his troubled relationship with his father are meant to mirror the Canadian's own struggles to make it as a comedian. And as for the film's title, that's because Gord wrongly believes his father molested his younger brother Freddy, which in and of itself is pretty crass and tasteless.
