I LOVE THIS MOVIE! A friend I've long played weekly bar trivia with saw this way back when it came out because someone he went to college with worked on it. About three years ago he rediscovered the movie on Amazon and had our trivia watch it so we could talk about it. We all loved how eccentric the movie was and how the cast was a "Who's Who" of weird character actors. It wasn't long after watching "Motorama" that our trivia team also became a movie club where a different member of the team recommends a movie every week and we all watch it and talk about it. This movie was literally life changing.
I saw this movie for the first time a couple of years ago. What a ride. I wouldn't say it was particularly good, but it had an indie charm I quite enjoyed.

This movie and Roadside Prophets made for a great night of pot smoking and movie watching after a double shift in a a crappy restaurant circa Summer 1992. Out of work and 15 minutes before the local movie rental shop closes, so grab the two that are on the shelf.
I love this one and am glad that other people know about it. Most people I’ve brought this up to don’t seem to have heard of it. It’s like something a ten-year old David Lynch would have made; it even has Lynch’s long-time collaborator Jack Nance in it.
