DVD Reviews of Thrashin'

DVD Review: I Like My Cheese Straight From The Can!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of those "so awful it's unintentionally amazing" kinds of movies. It's everything that was cheesy about the 80's, only on wheels. I mean, this movie has so much cheese food goodness, it practically explodes from the can. You couldn't find more succulent cinematic trash (I mean "thrash") if you tried!

Need more proof? How 'bout this: the movie's theme song is performed by none other than Meat Loaf. That's right: you get meat and cheez - two essential sk8r food groups - right from the get go! What more do you need?! (Is it some great old skool skating you desire? Well it's got that too, with some of the greatest skaters of that time.)

And sure, Hook and the Daggers' (the "punk" villains) opening skate sequence is about as menacing as Pat Benatar's girlie group dance in the "Love Is a Battlefield" video, but c'mon - this here's a classic! Plus you haven't really lived until you've seen Hook's air guitar prowess. (Also, now-jailed ex-skater Gator plays one of the Daggers, so I really wouldn't mess with them...)

Yup. This movie is one that formed me. In fact, to this very day I often find myself thinking, "What would Radster do in a situation like this?" (trivia fact: Josh Richman, the actor who played Radley, now manages the band Deadsy, of Family Values Tour fame and acclaim).

And speaking of bands... I've always wondered how the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who appear at a party with their original lineup playing "Black Eyed Blonde") felt to be included amidst all the synthesized bleeps and blorps of the new wave Thomas Dolby-esque soundtrack? I mean, seriously - it's about the most anti-skate soundtrack you could possibly put together!

The song playing during the inevitable love scene is just hilariously awful - like a poor man's "Almost Paradise" (if you can even imagine a lesser version of that song). (All right, I'll admit that the Circle Jerks playing "Wild in the Streets" almost makes up for it) (almost) (but I was still glad to hear in the commentary that even this movie's director hates that song)

Suffice it to say: without this flick, I would have never known how to get ready for a joust (you paint your eyes like some sort of radioactive pirate raccoon, of course)! It seems so obvious once this movie shows you the way, but without it? Well, I wouldn't have a clue. (note: a joust is a skateduel where two people try to hit each other with combination maces/man-purses, later recreated as an homage by the Jackass crew.)

And I won't give away what happens at the spectacularly surprising and climactic climax at Tuna Canyon ("the steepest and gnarliest course on the circuit," dooood), but suffice it to say: it's bitchin'. I'm not kidding.

This DVD also features an awesome commentary track where they call Johnny Depp and rag on Tony Hawk (who appeared in this movie at age 15 but later dissed it in his book), among other things. There are so many great lines from the commentary track alone to make this worth your while, but I'll leave you with Robert Rusler (Hook) talking about Hawk: "If I knew that man was going to be a tri-zillionaire, I would've been nicer to him on the set." Heh!
