Quotes
Joey: Hey, shit nuts. Your fucking waxer ruined my ball. It's yours now. I want a new one.
BBK: Alright, first of all, shit-for brains, that area's being remodeled. You ain't even supposed to be over there. And secondly, you're a fucking dip shit. It looks to me like you just pressed down too goddamned hard. You're supposed to let that machine do all the work. I don't see it as a malfunction at the junction boy.
Joey: Maybe you should open your fucking eyes then, idiot. There's one inch of sharp screw embedded in the bottom. It's fucked. End of story. Now go get me a new fucking ball.
BBK: Use one of the balls by your lane.
Joey: Those balls are shitty and used, just like your fucking underwear. Now go get me a goddamned new ball!
BBK: Hey, calm down now. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Now you be a good boy and go back over to your lane and maybe I'll go over to the store and get you something brand-spanking new. If you're lucky.
Joey: Lucky? You wanna talk about luck? You're fucking lucky the toilet wouldn't flush when your mom spread her legs and pulled you out with a goddamned coat hanger.
BBK: You're lucky the buffalo beat me over the fence, otherwise I'd be your daddy.
Joey: Oh, that's fucking hilarious. Hey, where are you going? You better be going to get my new ball. I got a fucking game to win, no fucking around!
BBK: Yeah, that's what your mama said.

Alternate versions
German version was cut by approx. 15 minutes to secure a SPIO/JK approval. For retail outlets, it was necessary to create a version with a FSK "Not under 18" rating, that version lacks approx. 26 minutes.

Excellent Effects and Not Much Else

Gutterballs gets the sleazy element of the slasher down, but forgets to give us any characters to root for. The whole thing takes place in a bowling alley the night after a woman was raped by a mob of terrible men and someone begins killing the people responsible (and everyone else unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time).

There's a heavier emphasis on sex and nudity in this one with a surprising amount of male nudity and it includes what must be the most sexually explicit death scene in slasher history. The special effects makeup stands out as well with a few horrifyingly well executed murder scenes. It's just a shame that the rest of the film can't compete thanks to a pretty generic and uninteresting script.
