Farts of Darkness is a feature-length documentary on the making of Troma Entertainment's 1999 film Terror Firmer. Director Lloyd Kaufman tries to steer the cast and crew as more and more mishaps hit the production, resulting in hilarious reactions not only from the crew but from the incendiary Kaufman. In a funny twist, Terror Firmer's plot is actually about a film crew trying to complete their movie in the face of numerous violent mishaps. As Kaufman's inept film crew blunders about, he explodes into fiery rants. Despite the ridiculousness of his films, and their corresponding B-movie status, Kaufman takes his film-making very seriously. He tries desperately to wrangle the best performance out of every actor, including the production assistant who, despite his obvious lack of acting skill, is given a speaking role in the film. Other highlights of the documentary include a stunt man afraid of heights, a 500 pound man's sponge bath and the obligatory drunken actors.moreless
