Best First Feature Film | 1983 | Penelope
Penelope Spheeris cast real punk rockers instead of seasoned actors in the interest of realism.
During the scene where the T.R. kids are driving to the house to steal sod, Jack says, "Where's the house, Flea?", to which Razzle (played by Red Hot Chili Peppers' bass player Flea), replies, "Hey, my name's Razzle, man".
The homes where the TR kids live were, in real life, condemned under eminent domain to make way for the Century (Interstate 105) Freeway, which wasn't finished for almost 15 years. The freeway they eventually built was featured in Speed (1994) as the freeway under construction where the bus has to jump the unfinished chasm.
Many of the incidents shown in the movie were inspired by real-life events writer/director Penelope Spheeris read about in local newspapers.
Famously influenced Neil Tennant when he wrote their 1986 hit, "Suburbia" for the Pet Shop Boys, even lifting the line 'slums of the future' from very early in the film, on the 12" version of the song.
"Jack Diddley: Where's that house, Flea? Razzle: Over there... Hey, my name's Razzle, man."
"Bob Skokes: What the hell are you dressed up for? Jim Tripplett: Yeah. Where's the war? Skinner: Up your ass. Jim Tripplett: Up your ass? How would you like the long end of this rifle up YOUR ass?"
