Roadracers is a little movie that Robert Rodriguez did as part of a series of short movies for Showtime for their Rebel Highway series. The movie is about a bunch of 1950's era rock n' roll rebels, who doesn't love that? David Arquette in one of the few roles of his where he's not pretty cool for once, I would say that this is probably Arquett's best performance of his career. You have Salma Hayek making her U.S. film debut in this movie and not what is popularly believed to be Desperado. If you're a fan of greaser fare like Cry-Baby, Grease and the TV show Happy Days then this is most definitely a movie for you. The movie has a great surf rock score.

and if anyone can source on DVD please let me know, as I have been trying for years since I saw it on UK TV. Then my wife wiped the tape! It was re shown last Sunday, so now I have a VHS copy, but would love on DVD.Any film with Hasil Adkins in the soundtrack (and even worked into the plot when Nixer laughs at the rink HA HA HA)... and the little bit of Link Wray dialogue "Is he popular" "No, that's why he's cool..." has to be up there for me. But it is more than that, is just a great film....All the characters are well formed and played, from the diner owner to the police. Some really funny moments, and some really threatening ones (the Rumble) scene in the diner...

A friend of mine saw this movie on Showtime & recommended it. I had the good fortune to rent - & later buy the laserdisc version which includes a Director's commentary track. The film's good, but RR's commentary makes it MUCH better. Hearing how he ended up getting this gig, what exactly he was given to work with and how he ended up with the film you're watching, is another great story for fans of the director or just film-making in general. On the comment track he alludes to lots of other material that he has from this project, like videos made during production, and makes an offhand comment to the effect that 'someday if this ever comes out on DVD....' Well, I for one would stand in line for a copy. If you enjoy the 10 minute film school features & other extras on RR's DVDs, you too should petition the powers that be to release RoadRacers on DVD - along with the original (&/or new) commentary track & extras.It's am important step in Rodriguez' evolution from maverick indy to maverick big-league filmmaker. A DVD version would be a must-have for any fan.

This has to be one of the coolest greaser movies I've ever seen. I know, you think David Arquette and you can't get Deputy Dewey out of your head. I'm tellin' ya, the man pulled off rockabilly sexy like you wouldn't believe. William Sadler is great as the bad cop/town jerk's dad. The music was out of this world. This is definitely not a serious look at life in the fifties, but c'mon! The roller rink scene, the hair catching on fire, it's classic. Make sure you see this movie, and make sure you stick around for the outtakes after the credits start to roll.
