Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Cal's original vehicle in the movie was supposed to have been a Chevy Blazer, but after blowing the engine on the way to the set due to lack of oil in the engine, the directors improvised and persuaded a crewmember to let them use his 1981 Chevy Caprice station wagon. They ended up having to replace the transmission after killing it in the chase scenes. more

A fast-moving, darkly funny, American independent film, 16 October 1998
Author: Andrew Laurence (andrew@baybridge.com) from Oakland, California

Our main character, Ward, impulsively decides to give up his welding job in Bakersfield and head to Jerome, Arizona, to realize his dream. Along the way, lots of bad things happen to him. Wendie Malick is fantastic as the personification of trouble our hapless hero picks up along the way. The pacing is never slow, and the film is shot in "mockumentary" format, giving it a darkly humorous edge. See this quirky road picture if you have the chance.
