Nothing but Trouble (1991)

While hosting a party in his Manhattan penthouse, financial publisher Chris Thorne meets beautiful lawyer Diane Lightson and agrees to escort her to consult a client in Atlantic City. Two of Chris's clients, boisterous Brazilian billionaire siblings Fausto and Renalda Squiriniszu, join the road trip. The group takes a scenic detour that leads them to the dilapidated village of Valkenvania. After running a stop sign, they are captured and taken before the 106-year-old Judge Alvin "J.P." Valkenheiser. Chris's disrespectful attitude offends the judge, and the yuppies are locked in a hidden room under the courthouse to be judged the next day. They later overhear Judge Valkenheiser mercilessly executing a group of convicted drug dealers in a deadly roller coaster nicknamed "Mr. Bonestripper". Invited upstairs for dinner, the quartet learns that Judge Valkenheiser is detaining them due to his deep and longstanding grudge against "bankers". He explains that in 1917, a financier from New York swindled his grandfather into mining out the town, impoverishing the family and the town. The group attempts an escape, but Judge Valkenheiser's massive mute granddaughter Eldona captures Chris and Diane. The Squiriniszus escape by jumping through a window and encounter a waiting Dennis, whom they talk into abandoning his career to escape with them. Chris and Diane find an attic room filled with IDs and news clippings, discovering that Judge Valkenheiser has been using the house to capture and terminate undesirables—especially bankers—since the 1890s. During another escape, Diane meets and befriends Judge Valkenheiser's severely deformed grandchildren Bobo and L'il Debbull. Chris sneaks into Judge Valkenheiser's bedroom but is discovered and attacked. Judge Valkenheiser declares Chris must marry Eldona per "house policy". Meanwhile, the alternative rap group Digital Underground is ordered to verify their claim of being musicians with an impromptu performance. Delighted, Judge Valkenheiser acquits the band but asks them to stay as witnesses for the wedding. Chris initially cooperates but is later caught pleading with the group to help him escape. The band departs, and an enraged Judge Valkenheiser sentences him to execution via "Mr. Bonestripper". The machine breaks down, and Chris escapes into the junkyard. Judge Valkenheiser lures Diane into another murderous contraption, the Gradertine, but Chris distracts the Valkenheisers with an explosion, retrieving Diane at the last second before the pair escapes via a passing freight train. After reporting their ordeal, the police prepare a large-scale raid on Valkenvania. They discover the troopers are allied with Judge Valkenheiser. Just as the forces are about to dispatch Chris and Diane, the massive underground coal fires roar out of control, destroying the courthouse and allowing the duo to escape. In Brazil, Dennis becomes the Squiriniszus' personal security detail. Back in New York, Chris spots Judge Valkenheiser rummaging through the debris, who announces he and his family survived and plan to move in with "grandson" Chris, who flees the scene.
