It's the USA in 2024, and homosexuality has long been outlawed and made
punishable by death. And ultra-conservative gun-loving, gay-hating senator
Hightower (Bruce Church) is on his way to become the next president - if
only his daughter Patty (Candace Sampson) wouldn't fuck around a bit too
much (quite literally). So the senator decides to give her a husband who
will be forced to be devoted to her - like a prisoner he's able to send to
death row shouldn't things work out. So he chooses Bart (Derek
Laurendeau), who got caught offering a blowjob but is otherwise a pretty
decent guy, and the two get married ... but being gay, Bart is unable to
perform in the wedding night, and then is snatched by gay superspy
Dynastud right under everyone's noses. For some reason, Bart is believed
to be the chosen one of the secret gay movement, so it's imperative to get
him to Bruce Li's (Mark Andrew Garner) frozen body on a Canadian space
station without delay (and yep, I know how this sounds), but Hightower and
daughter are not the ones to let a good man go, so they send bumbling duo
Sam (Dan Mauro) and Vargas (Aaron Andrade) after the two of them, and
afterr their demise pick up pursuit themselves - and this is where things
start to get really weird ... Code Name: Dynastud
is pretty much a "what the fuck"-thing - which I mean in the
best possible way: It really starts on a wild concept and then just gets
weirder all the time - but funnier as well, and while not all the jokes
might be of the sophisticated variety, the film also never talks down to
the audience, instead keeps them wondering "what will they think of
next" ... and as mentioned before, it gets weirder all the time. And
apart from it's conscious camp approach to things, what really makes this
movie is its light-footed approach and it's constant twinkle in the eye.
It's really a film that's bound to leave your mouth agape and have you
laughing (maybe both at the same time) at maybe a couple of occasions.
