Flea's Best Performance, 3 May 2007
10/10
Author: munky_funky from United States

I will always remember the first time I saw this movie. Two friends and I had traveled from Louisiana to Montana staying at nothing but campgrounds for five days in the summer of 1989. On the last day before we reached our destination, we stayed at a Motel Six in Missoula Montana. That night The Blue Iguana came on HBO. From the moment 'Floyd' stepped on the screen, all we could do was laugh and ask who in the hell is that. It took us awhile to realize that it was Flea. We were all big Chili Pepper fans so from that moment we were hooked. Till this day, I think this was Flea's best performance in film. He was hysterical. If you like Flea, this film is a must. If not, view this film at your own risk. His performance is over the top just like the way he plays Bass.
