U.S. label Shout Factory has detailed its upcoming Collector's Edition of director Penelope Spheeris' action comedy
Dudes (1987), starring Jon Cryer, Daniel Roebuck, Flea, Billy Ray Sharkey, and Glenn Withrow. The release will be available for purhcase on October 10.
Synopsis: Urban angst meets the Wild West when three NYC punks (Jon Cryer of Pretty in Pink, Daniel Roebuck of River's Edge, and Flea of Suburbia and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on a road trip to California cross paths with a vicious gang and their psycho leader (Lee Ving, Streets of Fire and Fear). Aided by a pistol-packin' knockout (Catherine Mary Stewart, Night of the Comet), a daredevil Elvis Presley impersonator (Pete Willcox), and mystical spirits of the past, they relentlessly pursue the gang to an epic, hallucinogenic, final showdown.
Directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization, Suburbia, Wayne's World), Dudes blasts a killer soundtrack featuring The Vandals, The Little Kings, Keel, Jane's Addiction and Steve Vai.
