    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Craig Hamann's friend Roger Avary acted as a producer primarily to help his friend get meetings with potential financiers. Roger was valuable to Craig in several ways on the film, especially during post production. He edited "Boogie Boy" down from 112 minutes to 99 minutes. After acquiring the distribution rights, Imperial Entertainment used his name to advertise the film as coming from "the Academy Award winning writer of Pulp Fiction: Tarinoita väkivallasta (1994)", thus tricking consumers into thinking the movie was 1) from Quentin Tarantino and 2) actually written by the writer of Pulp Fiction. Both Craig Hamann and Roger Avary were displeased about this.

    A cool film:
    I liked Boogie boy a lot. I think it was a good film. It did have a plot. It was about friendship and loyalty as well as drugs. Mark Dacascos was pretty good but I think Jaimz Woolvett was even better,but Joan Jett was by far the one who was really doing the best acting. She was very good with her small little part and I think many who see this film will remember her more then they will remember the two leads. I also really enjoyed the movie's soundtrack.
