Want to know more about Paperboy 3: The Hard Way? Well you’re in luck! Included with the video are some insightful and amusing frequently asked questions, such as:
Q – Why no romance scene with Paperboy & Papergirl?

A – Because that’s too cliche and gross, you pervert-creeper.
Q – Where did you film this?
A – The suburbs of New Jersey and a summer camp.

A – Their overuse of digital effects and lazy scripts.
Q – How did you do the VHS effect?
A – We actually transferred it to VHS, then recaptured it.
Q – Where did you get the idea for all of the bad guys?
A – Every thug you see is an enemy from Paperboy on the NES.
Q – Did you only draw from the NES version of the game?
A – Mostly… Papergirl is from Paperboy 2… whatever.
Q – What about the arcade game?
A – It isn’t as popular and the enemies are harder to emulate.

This little gem stars Newt Wallen who is heavily involved in a project called Midnight Show which features more retro grindhouse inspired trailers than you can shake a stick at! It also has some great cameos from genre icons such as Ron Jeremy, Mr. Lobo, Lloyd Kaufman, Gilbert Gottfried, Lemmy of Motörhead, and many more surprising and exciting personalities.
