Freaked

Bill S. Preston, Esq., brings you this timely meditation on the price of fame. Washed-up actor Ricky Coogan sells out to endorse lethal chemical Zyglot-24 for the EES corporation. In the course of attempting to seduce an activist protesting the product, he ends up getting captured and freakified by circus showman Randy Quaid.

Countless sight gags and cameos abound as Ricky attempts to save his fellow freaks (including Mr T as the bearded lady, and Bobcat Goldthwait as a man with a sock-puppet for a head) with the help of his annoying troll soulmate, Stuey. Incidentally, Freaked contains some of Keanu's finest acting in an uncredited role as Ortiz the revolutionary dog-boy.
