Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) finds himself in Captain Manzini’s (Anthony Newley) antique shop, seeking refuge from a group of bullies. Manzini, a friend and protector of Dodger, provides him a safe haven while warning Dodger not to touch a grimy-looking garbage can crusted with slime. When the bullies find Dodger, a fight breaks out, and the garbage can topples over, releasing a bevy of pint-sized, grotesque aliens known as the Garbage Pail Kids®. The kids – Ali Gator, Nat Nerd, Greaser Greg, Foul Phil, Messy Tessie, and Valerie Vomit – befriend Dodger and help him get revenge against his bullies, defying the laws of good taste in the process!
Based on the popular Topps trading cards, THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS® MOVIE captures the irreverence and gross-out humor of its source, mixing obnoxious gags with painstakingly disgusting make-up effects courtesy of John Carl Buechler (Re-Animator, Tammy and the T-Rex). Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is proud to present the world UHD premiere of one of the grossest movies ever made for children, from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative, giving every ounce of fluid and every wrinkle of latex the resolution it has always deserved.

"Wow! they just don't make em like this anymore amirite!! I mean. . . . they still make bad movies today, don't get me wrong lol! Rhis release is very nice! The new interviews definatly help she'd light on just exactly what was happening when this was made! Restoration is nice too"
"Ok, lets talk about this classic. I cannot believe that this film could have ever been made. Based upon a series of trading cards that were based on dolls. perfect recipe for a hit movie! having said that - I'd recommend it just to say 'wtf'. Restoration is beautiful. Great extras included as well"
"I’ve owned this movie on multiple formats over the years, and this edition easily surpasses them all. The picture quality is stunning, the audio is crystal clear, and the entire package feels thoughtfully assembled. A fantastic upgrade and an easy recommendation."
"A masterpiece that I had watched dozens upon dozens of times as a child. This restoration is so wild and spectacular. The packaging is peak, and I’m so thankful for this goofy strange flick to find a resurrection"
"Wow, I can’t believe I’m leaving a review for this nearly 40 years since I first saw it as a kid. I knew it was only a matter of time until Vinegar Syndrome would release it. Terrible? Yes. Story? Ridiculous. Windy Winston farting the mustache off a man’s face? Hell yeah! I actually enjoyed watching this again. I love when this movie gets trashed for being bad or one of the worst movies ever made. It’s a movie based on trading cards with gross-out cartoons lampooning Cabbage Patch kids. What would you expect? GPK on 4K. This turd has never looked better!"
"Looks stunnning most buy for fans of trash"
"It looks so amazing in 4k. Great special features too. Grab this to torture your friends with it."
"Love that The Garbage Pail Kids are back in print! My memory of this movie was a bit rose tinted I think. There are some all time great wtf moments, but there's also a lot of weird creepy shit too. Enter at your own risk! Packaging and art design are S tier as always. Packed with essays and special features, what more could one ask for?"
