How would you rank them, zomb? I don't remember which ones I liked best, though the first carries some nostalgia a bit.
I would rank them 2, 1 and 3. I enjoyed the meta humor of part two a lot and John Carl Buechler was fun to watch as director. I Still need to watch part 4 crossover of The Gingerdead Man Vs Evil.

amazon says 72 minutes
That's what it actually is. Weird how there are so many different runtimes. Even on the DVD itself
Classic Full Moon marketing ploy. Nobody is going to buy a movie under or near an hour at full price, so they lie about the runtime or make the credits super super slow to reach said runtime.

Voice actor in Gingerdead Man 3 is easily my least favorite. Garey Busey and John Vulich in 1 & 2 were top notch. Apparently Vulich died of a heart attack in 2016. Bummer.

I can't remember how I ranked them, but I think that's how I had it, and I really enjoyed them all quite equally. I've also yet to see any of the Evil Bong movies and that's why I never ended up seeing the Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong flick.

Actually pretty smart. lol. Probably combined the movie time with the special features total time.

Weirdest thing is wiki gives it the longest runtime at 82 minutes. Which is longer than what the DVD suggests.

Saturday Night Cleaver has got to be the funniest overall of the trilogy, but I think it's gonna finish last on the ranking with the inclusion of a lot of bad CGI and the voice actor not being very good. They're all close though.

There is something about a person being angry and rolling away on roller skates that is just hilarious to me.
