AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this sequel to The Angriest Video Store Clerk in the World (2003), the Clerk has escaped the island prison and the shackles of his evil captors, and is now back at the video store. He slips back into his old life of throwing cassettes and threatening customers without a care in the world, but doesn'’t know what’'s about to hit him when Eve, "the nicest video store clerk in the world, sets up shop right across the road! Who is this mysterious Eve? Where is she from? Why is she here, and why does she look so… familiar? The Clerk finds himself yet again the unwilling hero in a new highly – derivative tale of intrigue, suspense, and murder as the fate of the entire world (and the production of Starship Troopers 2) hangs in the balance!'

The Angriest Video Store Clerk in the World Grant Watson , 2003 single work drama satire science fiction He has no name... Hollywood hates him... Customers fear him... He's the angiest video store clerk in the world!

Following the block-buster release of its action flick Bloodsoaked Brothers 2 Hollywood film company WorldWide Pictures now plans to release it on DVD and boasts that it will become the biggest home video hit of all time, with millions of copies already ordered. Far away in a distant Australian suburb, however, one video store clerk who believes the film is truly awful refuses to order a single copy, and the executives at WorldWide intend to find out why.

A satire on the the evils of Hollywood, Grant Watson throws pretty much every film and theatre genre into the mix in what might best be described as a sci-fi action comedy love story musical and tale of revenge.
