2004 · Film
Released in 2004, Bad Meat is a comedy film, running about 90 minutes. “When it comes to kidnapping these guys stink” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Welcome to Butcher's Mill, Illinois, home to a meat-packing plant, a junk yard, and Buddy and Earl, two likable losers who crave the sweet smell of success. Earl is a simple man with a simple desire--to marry Pam, the only available girl in town. But she'll only give herself to a man who meets her strict criteria, including trailer-home ownership. And Earl's conniving boss at the meat-packing plant will do anything to win Pam's heart first. Buddy, on the other hand, wrongly fancies himself a master criminal, scheming big and failing big while avoiding both legitimate employment and his heartless parole officer. When Buddy hatches a brainless scheme to kidnap a corrupt U.S. Congressman for ransom.
Who’s in it. Bad Meat stars Chevy Chase as Congressman Bernard P. Greely, Billie Worley as Earl, Lance Barber as Buddy and Ellie Weingardt as Congressman's Wife.
