I really can not believe that no one has drawn the "Wizard of Oz" reference here. "Follow the yellow brick road, homey." ??? A journey from what some might refer to as "Kansas" to Lost Vegas? Did anyone actually see this film? Or, should i ask, has anyone watched an American movie in the last century? The last scene alone was a reference to anyone who couldn't catch it- the kid (as an wannabe adult Buddy) carrying his guitar down a path reminiscent of the yellow brick road, to a look-a-like emerald city. I would also like to add that the "city" was also an obvious back drop, such as used by the big Hollywood studios of that era. One of the more blatant movie rip-offs since Quentin Tarentino appeared in the cinema scene, it is still plagiarized in a fresh and enthusiastically new perspective. Isn't that what cinema is, nowadays? Overall, if you like kung-fu flicks, surfabilly, and a wistfully innocent by-gotten era, do it up! This movie just might be what you haven't been waiting for.
