Summary: Turkey Hunter
Review: trust me, nothing can prepare you for vernon, florida. i don't say that to advertise it as shocking footage, but just as "far out" and depressing in a funny way. i love documentaries like this (trekkies, american movie) and this is one of my favorites. it's only 50 minutes long (i don't know what that other reviewer was talking about when he said 72 minutes), which is highly unfortunate. i want to contact errol morris myself and see if i can't get the outtakes. this is one of those documentaries that gets better and better with each viewing. i've seen it at least fifty times, and i end up laughing myself to the point of tears every single time.

errol morris does beautiful work--the camera work, the sound, and especially the editing are all top-notch. i have seen about six of his productions, and i really, really want to see all the rest. i would recommend this to any lover of documentaries.

Summary: This is the alltime greatest documentary ever done!!!!
Review: Vernon Florida is apparently ground zero for inbreeding in the south. this film rocks! I have had a grainy copy of this video for many years and whenever I want a party to end I put this video in (it's not for everyone) and whenever I think of "Tukey Huntin" I have to watch it apparently whoever wrote the movie Kalifornia with Brad Pitt had seen this documentary, Just before Brad Pitt kills the convenience store clerk he asks him where he is from and the clerk says Vernon Florida, he then asks him what they hunt for there and the kid says "turkeys" I almost spit beer out of my nose when I saw that and nobody in the room had any idea why. and the old man who calls the tortoise a gopher was close apparently he read the scientific name somewhere which is Gopherus.

the old guys outside the general store I think are the funniest especially when the guy has the four track mind.

in conclusion this is the best movie ever made.

Summary: please write to get this movie re-printed
Review: Vernon, Florida is an absolute scream. Fellow Vernonians and friends, please write to the Columbia TriStar Home Video Company. The only web address I found was: websales@comspec.com Beg them, implore them, beseech them to reprint this great American Masterpiece! Or ask WGN to replay it, or Ted Turner to buy it and play it as often as Dumb and Dumber. My lone precious copy is so worn out, I can only afford to watch it once a year. I live in North West Florida too, and in fact, I have family in Vernon who are actually in the movie. And no, I am not married to my first cousin...he's my 2nd cousin. Ha Ha. Please write the company. Thanx.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This video proves truth is stranger than fiction.
Review: Vernon, Florida is the best video I have ever seen--I just wish I could purchase a copy. It has become a cult favortie among my friends. "An 11-inch beard" is our catch phrase -- and "thar it is"! Please, bring this video back!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Turkey Hunter
Review: You hear a turkey gobble and you'll forget all about your diahrea. It's the best diahrea medicine in the world.

We was working our way down through some palmettos. Now palmettos are kind of offset. When I got as close as I could get I eased out real slow and ease it up and(whew) pow! Got her off. It hit the ground like a toooon of bricks. And here he is(points to turkey beard) with about an eleven inch beard.

Now you got a ball here and a ball here and a ball here and a ball here. And if all those balls are functioning... you're not a one track mind - you're a four track mind. I can write cat s--t with one hand and dog s--t with the other.
