It was time to watch Dudes again.
This has to be one of the best road movies ever. So many cool characters.

Directed by Penelope Spheeris and starring Jon Cryer, Daniel Roebuck,
Catherine Mary Stewart, Lee Ving and Flea.

I also have the soundtrack album.
Some nice bands there like Keel, WASP, Megadeth etc.

Here´s the official Keel video including Jon Cryer and Daniel Roebuck with the band.

I haven't watched it in a long time but I still have my laserdisc of Dudes. I'll have to find time to watch it sometime soon.

I remember this movie and know that I saw it, but I cannot remember anything about the movie itself. I do remember that Daniel Roebuck scared me when I was a little kid when he was in...just about everything. But what has me completely freaked out is that 80's Movies poster girl herself Catherine Mary Stewart was in it. I mean C'mon! How'd I miss that?! Now I must find this movie for a viewing soon.

I am aware of this film (through Leonard Maltin's film review book, naturally), but I have never viewed it.

I remember this being quite weak, or at least a bit plotless.

I may have to re-watch it.

Been giving this one props for years, glad someone other than me is talking about it. Found this one fun, especially with the cameos of Flea and Lee Ving and such. Always got time for 80's era Jon Cryer too.

Was digging through the VHS tonnage in the basement and came across DUDES. Have no idea where it came from. Figured there would be some info from somebody on the Rewind. Thanx for taking the time to put some words about it on here. Always like Cryer so will try to check it out.

Bump.

No dvd yet? What gives? The soundtrack was good. Good mix of punk and metal.

I remember I looked for the song by the Vandals the urban struggle for a long time. As far as Penelope Spheeris goes, they finally released the Decline of Western civilisation collection this year.

I think if you are a Cryer fan, you need to see this. Not great by any means but still a fun movie.
