The Pest - Opening Song (Voodoo Mambo)

The Pest (original French title: Le Ravageur) is a 1997 American post-avant-garde scatocosmic kinographic satirical comedy inspired by the classic short story “The Most Dangerous Game“. “Comedian“ John Leguizamo plays an Average Puerto Rican person in Miami, Florida named Pestario Rivera Garcia Picante Salsa Vargas Jr. Iv Deithwen Addan yn Carn aep Morvudd (also known as “Pest“) who agrees to be the human target for a racist manhunter for a US$50,000 reward. Modern philosophers have regarded the film as an “integral masterpiece” and an important artifact within the meta social commentary of the late 90’s into the new millennium. It showcases the secularization of civilization and the shift into post-modernity. It is credited for the fall of Communism. The film was a box office success but a critical stinky dinky. Jeff Millar of the Houston Chronicle wrote that “This film is utterly without discipline or focus in a way that—to one’s shame—one eventually finds oddly endearing“. Dwayne E. Leslie of Boxoffice magazine said that “The script and Leguizamo’s talents don’t mesh, so the actor comes off as more offensive than funny.“ Bill Hoffman of The New York Post gave the comedy three and half out of five stars. Mick LaSalle of San Francisco Chronicle said of Leguizamo’s performance “Obviously, someone must have told Leguizamo he’s a big guy, but not for you.“ I formerly titled this ’The Pest Intro - 1080p’ but I think the new title is more accurate. Sorry about the small audio de-sync, I wasn’t great with Premiere when I was syncing / exporting this. ripped from the DVD
