Who are the heavily-chinned Kipper Kids? Probably best known to cult audiences for their appearances in UHF and FORBIDDEN ZONE, the Kipper Kids are a pair of comic performance artists (Martin Rochus Sebastian von Haselberg and Brian Routh) who rose to prominence in the experimental art movement in the '70s and early '80s. The 1988 Cinemax special "K.O. Kippers" stars the pair as boxers trained by a low-rent con man played by MANIAC's Joe Spinell. It's impressively offbeat stuff, and you wonder what the heck unsuspecting channel-flippers thought when they came across it.
