The Characters portrayed in theis thing were SO real!!! I know they were based on the reality of the punk scene in Salt Lake in the eighties, but lots of movies have been "based on" and most of them fail to capture what it is they're trying for...except for the ending , this movie rocked,- by the way the "real" Stevo, just moved away and started another band, and still is still touring today...they just have better turnout for thier shows....and usually no one gets stomped half to death ( ...good old days and all that...)
