George Kuffs didn't finish high-school, just lost his job and his girlfriend who still is in college is pregnant.
Since he can't see how he can support her, he thinks she is better off without him.
So he visits his elder brother, Brad, to squeeze him for a loan so he can go to Brazil where there's a gold-rush going on.
Unfortunately Brad is killed and George is suddenly the owner of Brad's "patrol special" district....
Depending on how much you can tolerate Christian Slater, is how much you will enjoy this film. I went to see this at the movies, and even then when I were 14, there were points i wish i could have broken the fourth wall and slapped him.
The mugging at the camera is an okay idea, and many of the demographic that this film is aimed at, would have found it fresh and quite endearing, as an actor was involving them in the movie and the plot.
But thats my only gripe because the film is witty and part from the story, it's quite an original movie, with a good script. Slater is good as the titular characters, but like I said before, if you were not aged between the ages 13-18 in 1992, will find this film hard to like.
Original parts of the movie are having profanity beeped, so the killer line will be funnier, having the bad guys clothing become a character in itself, and a running gag involving turkey cooking.
Kuffs even has hi own 'Axel F' music.
It's early nineties cheese and the type of movie you should watch with rose coloured specs, because watching the film nearly twenty years later, George Kuffs isn't the cool guy I once thought he was.
Still a funny film though.
