Remember Bellflower from a couple years
ago? The unhinged indie about two friends building flamethrowers and weapons
and a fire-breathing muscle car, all in anticipation of a global apocalypse?
Well, it turns out they’re back with Chuck Hank and the San Diego
Twins. Judging solely on this new trailer, it’s just a bonkers as the
title suggests.
Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins is the
latest from Coatwolf Productions, and it looks like maybe the guys from
Bellflower got their apocalyptic wish. This trailer is an
amalgam of Mad Max, Escape From New York,
The Warriors, and the glut of cheapo, early-to-mid-1980s Italian
post-apocalyptic trash. In short: oh hell yes I’m into this wonderful,
wonderful, head-ripping mayhem.
This trailer also reminds me of the Trost Brothers’ The FP. There is, of course, less dance fighting, but there’s a similar gonzo
low-budget feel and aesthetic. And the general old-school videogame influence
is readily apparent. Hell, this could be set in the world from Double
Dragon.
Here’s a synopsis for Chuck Hand and the San Diego
Twins:
A turf war has been raging in Oldtown for generations. On one side, The Syndicate - an evil gang of crank-head misfits, who has been set on muscling the San Diego family out of the parcel of land they own in the center of town. On the other side, the San Diego family: Tony and Johnny - twin brothers, and their sister Salsa are the last of a bloodline that stretches back for generations. Their mother, father and brothers were all brutally murdered in a violent clash with The Syndicate years earlier. With their neighborhood becoming increasingly fearful, The Syndicate puts into action another evil advance on their family's fading legacy by kidnapping Salsa - all hell breaks loose. The twins and their best friend Chuck Hank must decide whether to hand over the deed to their families’ land in order to save their sister or fight, the final fight!
If that description and the overall manic insanity of the
trailer isn’t enough to win you over, Chuck Hank and the San Diego
Twins has a weirdly awesome cast. Especially for fans of knockabout
B-movies, exploitation fare, and general awesomeness. It features David
Arquette (Eight Legged Freaks), Andrew Bryniarski
(Texas Chainsaw Massacre), MMA fighters Don Frye and Josh
Barnett, Olivia Taylor Dudley (Dude Bro Party Massacre III),
and Michael Pare (Streets of Fire and one of my all-time
favorite post-apocalyptic joints, World Gone Wild).
Starring Bellflower director Evan Glodell
as Chuck Hank, Bellflower lead Tyler Dawson as one San Diego
brother, and writer/director Jonathan Keevil as the other, Chuck Hank
and the San Diego Twins hits sometime in summer 2017.
