Dudes

About This Movie

Dudes (1987) is a quirky little adventure-comedy that blends punk sensibilities with a Western vibe. Picture two city punks, fueled by youthful rebellion, taking a cross-country trip in a slightly battered Volkswagen bug. The tone is light yet carries this undercurrent of revenge—an interesting mix. The pacing has this laid-back feel, with some genuinely funny moments sprinkled throughout. The performances, especially from the leads, bring a raw energy that feels authentic. And let’s not forget the practical effects—there’s something charming about the way they handle the wrecking scenes. The film's distinctiveness lies in its odd juxtaposition of urban punk culture against the backdrop of rural America. It’s this offbeat blend that gives it a unique flavor.
