Synopsis

Accompanied by his brother JTRO, Beat-Beat Revelation champion BTRO must compete for the pride of their hometown, Frazier Park (The FP). His opponent: ruthless fighter and trash talker, L Dubba E. L Dub not only defeats BTRO, he sends him to an early grave. L Dub’s instant climb to power has forced The FP to fall into disarray. Crazed with anger, JTRO vows revenge. After a crash course in the ancient techniques of Beat-Beat from master BLT, JTRO challenges L Dubba E. Their battle to the finish, born of lust, power and revenge, will leave only one man standing. —SXSW

the dialogue alone is reason enough to see this movie, but make sure you see it for free. not worth a cent.

To be fair, it does earn the modest payoff of being enjoyably weird, including some laugh out loud dialogue. This is no more shameless than the stuff from the 70s that inspired it.

Just another film trying to self manufacture a cult status without any authenticity. This film is absolutely terrible.
