The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a 1987 live action musical film adaptation of the popular series of children's trading cards produced, directed, and co-written by Rod Amateau. It is the last film to be directed by Amateau.
The cards were a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls and each card featured a character that typically had a gross habit or abnormality. The film depicted many of the Garbage Pail Kids (played by dwarf actors in costumes) interacting with society and befriending a regular boy. It is widely recognized as one of the worst films ever made.
