    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Matthew Lillard's character, Stevo, was originally to have bleached-blond hair, but when he got the bleach job, the peroxide burned Lillard's scalp, leaving a hideous mess. Dyeing his hair blue was a way to hide it.
    • Goofs
      When Stevo and his friends are shown driving to Wyoming, they're actually driving west on Interstate 80 toward Nevada.
    • Quotes

      Stevo: What do you do when your foundation falls apart? I don't know. They don't teach you that in school.

    Outstanding fictional take on punk rock
    Anyone who has spent time in the American punk underground will find many points of reference in SLC Punk. The film is an amazingly realistic portrayal of the suburban punk subculture. All the issues are here: poseurs, sell outs, authenticity, straight edge, rebellion, boredom...and of course the perennial problem of whether mods and punks can get along! I can't recommend this gem strongly enough.
