Punk Vacation

(1987)

These "punks" (they look like Slave Raider) decide to vacation in some hick-ass town that's located two exits past the middle of nowhere, because there's just so much to do in places like that and weird freaks from the big city are always welcome. Everything is fine for like the first twenty seconds, but then this snack machine rips one of the punks off and he ends up stabbing the yokel who owns it. Naturally the cops show up, but the punks escape and hide out in a barn. They decide to shoot every cop in town, but the sheriff is pretty clever and sets up all these booby-traps to catch them. This is taking way too long for the local rednecks though, so they get a little posse together and go hunting for the punks themselves. (When they find an empty cupcake wrapper at one point, one guy goes "We got confirmation of punk activity here!") Finally they catch up to the punks and there's a huge shootout. (Dying Punk: "...what a drag.") The whole situation is a horrific tragedy with no winners and all losers, but I guess that's what happens on a Punk Vacation. If there was a single decent tune or even one hot punk chick in this disaster it might've been tolerable, but the music's gay and the chicks are ugly. It's the dumbest punk movie since Sid & Nancy.
