Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Scott Caan wrote and performed the film's original songs, because apparently one job wasn't enough.

Cultural

This film captures peak 90s 'disaffected youth' cinema, when every skate kid was a potential revolutionary. It bombed because the real world moved on faster than VHS rentals.
