hdscratch Dang, the artistic value of this movie is through the roof, if nothing else, and the original music is O.G. style as well as the non-original music. I bought this movie off the shelf only because there was a skateboarder on it, not realizing it is an Australian film, and having never even heard of it. It is now one of my favorites. I was shocked at the consistency of it--I don't see that often. 'Seems skateboarding is part of the Australian culture, which is freakin' awesome--makes me want to go there. I bought a board the other day, and there's something about it that made me fall in love with it. Some people have been saying in the reviews on this site that the way the dudes act in the movie is unrealistic, and some of the slang used in the movie would never be used in real life. I just thought it was an Australian thing, and it humored me. It's cool. I did watch the making of the movie though, and Sean Kennedy and the other two did that blow on their hands that they do in the movie and he said something about how it was the "gayest" thing they'd done on the set. Then I thought, maybe they're just like us! I know I use gay in the same fashion... Anyways, it doesn't matter if one would act that way in real life or not, it's like, an art form. Nice.

zombie-32 First off I am not a skater.When I went in to watch this movie I was expecting some serious skating stunts and manoeuvres. Instead all you received was a series of short film sections broken up with some poor animation sequences.The only real surprise was that Tony Hawks had his name attached to this turkey.If you want to watch a skating movie then you are better off watching Gleaming the Cube or someone else play a skating game either way you get a better acting, skating and story.Half the story is simply bland and uninspiring before progressing to boring then dragging itself like a dying dog to the end of the movie it becomes so predictable that it feels like you have already watched the movie even though you haven't seen the end you already known exactly how it will end, and finally when the end credits appear you can breath a sigh of relief that the horror is over.

Nikki (dammit_blink182) Dudes.. I'm not a skater or anything, but i definitely dig them..this movie does make skaters look bad, cause of the behavior of the three try-hards in this movie.. this is definitely a funny movie, but i don't recommend you see it, unless you wanna see some try-hard-skaters going around skating..its actually really funny, cause I've started a crew now called the 'TTH (Total Try Hard) Deck Dogz', with a good friend of mine cause we were so baffled by this movie..This is so funny, cause you see the try-hard-skater Asian guy, Blue Flame, getting chicks at random party's, and a guy like him would not ever have this happen ha ha..oh and to people reading this, we need other people who can skate, or wanna learn to skate (in Sydney, northern beaches) to join our crew.. our job is to get drunk, and skate around!!... so please anyone interested, e-mail me on [email protected], or I'm me on Nikzaaussie... so yeah PLEASE!!!!!!

jonnyng9 This type of movie was new to me, and yet i was eager to watch it. It's about 3 Skateboarding, law-breaking punks; named SPASM, POKER and BLUE FLAME. Together they call themselves the "DECK DOGZ"............One day, practicing their new move which includes a "heel-flip with a dark side", they're caught by the police for tress-passing and vandalising. If you think that's bad, not listening in Maths class, and paying attention to your skateboard only, is worse. Not only do all the three skate punks find themselves EXPELLED from school, but with SPASM's Skateboard confiscated by the principle. POKER AND BLUE FLAME, go on a midnight robbery into the school to steal back the skateboard, not knowing that they accidentally BURNT DOWN THE SCHOOL! With their already BAD REPUTATION and Cops behind their backs, the three are on a skate trip to the East, where TONY HAWKS IS HOSTING THE BEACH BOWL!!! They go through a lot of obstacles along the way to get to their destination, and trying to become a PRO-Skater and MAKING THEIR OWN REALITY.
