‘Never Too Young to Die’ @ IU Cinema, 1213 E. 7th Street (on the North side of the IU Auditorium)

Never Too Young To Die is a genre-bending film that may be the best worst thing you’ve never seen. Reluctant high-school gymnast cum sci-fi secret agent Lance Stargrove (22-year-old John Stamos) must avenge his father, killed by the problematically “hermaphroditic” warlord Velvet Von Ragnar (Gene Simmons), who also plans to commit a major terrorist attack. The film is brimming with inexplicable plot points, painfully overlong softcore love scenes, jaw-dropping “special effects,” and some of the most unintentionally hilarious editing ever captured on film.
