"Like all of Steckler's films, it's essentially a glorified home movie, but one made by a highly talented amateur....Rat Pfink a Boo Boo isn't the kind of movie you'd want to watch from beginning to end very often--the last half-hour consists almost entirely of a few endless chase/fight scenes. But the rockabilly songs by star Vin Saxon are surprisingly enjoyable, and the film's goofy, improvisational good humor makes a lot of it fun to watch....For such a low-budget film, the photography is surprisingly good, crisp black and white with tinted scenes to add contrast."

"This is one of my favorite films, based on its sheer lunacy and audacity....The creepy first half of the story is tinted dark blue; the wacky second half is orange. It was also shot without sound so all dialog and sound effects have been dubbed in after the fact, giving it a strange, disjointed quality. Usually, all of this off-the-cuff inventiveness adds up to uneven and aimless productions, but somehow in the case of Rat Pfink it works because it retains a sense of fun."

"Rat Pfink a Boo Boo is actually a watchable, remarkably entertaining film."
Will Helm, 411mania.com
"One of the most notorious 'camp classics', Rat Pfink is truly a unique viewing experience..."

"There is NO WAY to adequately describe this Ray Dennis Steckler jaw-droppingly-inept gem. A glorified home movie featuring crime fighting cretins Rat Pfink and Boo Boo (a Batman and Robin rip-off, wearing wool ski masks and ill-fitting long underwear), who don't even officially show up until halfway through the movie....Unbelievably surreal and one-of-a-kind (thank god)."
