A punk rock road movie about love, death, jerky, kidnapped newlyweds, 24-hour minimarts and a magical brainstem that promises immortality
THE OFFICIAL WORLDWIDE HOME VIDEO PREMIERE
INCLUDES 2 VERSIONS & 3 HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
In 1989, UCLA film students Russell Bates and Matt McDowell borrowed a 16mm camera, maxed out their credit cards and made a punk rock road movie about love, death, jerky, kidnapped newlyweds, 24-hour minimarts and a magical brainstem that promises immortality, featuring appearances by L.A. music scene icons that include Redd Kross, Milo Aukerman of Descendents and Peter Case of The Plimsouls with soundtrack vocals by Bob Forrest of Thelonious Monster. But when the finished film was unable to find theatrical distribution, it instead became an underground bootleg legend. Now after nearly four decades, this "offbeat saga of America wrapped in a Big Mac carton" (Daily Bruin) has been scanned in 2K from the original negative and is presented in both its Original Version and Producer's Cut with 3 hours of all-new Special Features.
