Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang Movie Review 1999

Edgy kids fantasy based on the book by Mordecai Richler. Jacob (Morrow) is nicknamed Jacob Two Two because he repeats everything since no one every listens to him the first time he says something. Because of this Jacob gets into unexpected trouble when shopping at the corner store, runs into the store basement, and knocks himself out in the darkness. Jacob dreams he's now on trial and is sentenced to Slimers' Island, which is run by a bizarre creature called the Hooded Fang (Busey) and his equally strange henchmen.
