I love how when I watched this as a child and thought how the father was such a tool. Rewatching it, the Dad may not understood Anarchy, but he understood that Steve-o's rebellion is just a phase in his life like when the father was young and went to Woodstock. One of the greatest coming to age films.
I must say this movie is a classic about under examined youth. It really resonated with me. I grew up in a somewhat small town with not a lot going on for a teenager. Similar to the characters and people living in SLC. Not a lot going on. So, the young and spirited youth try to scream themselves into existence. It's about identity, and I empathize. Saw this as an early teenager and before I knew it I was sporting a a mohawk in my small town!
When I first watched this I thought this scene was funny. But after my second go watching the movie I realized in reality the father is 100% telling him the truth and was right. It was all an act and he was going through a phase. That's the whole point of the movie. All his rants, all his so called wisdom, was all BS and his dad knew it. Which made him a good father letting him go through this phase.
On the DVD Commentary Matthew Lillard said he liked this scene in the script but asked Merendino if he could improv some new material while the cameras were rolling. About 75% of his lines from this scene arent in the script. He just got into character and went to town. He made this film.
Except when you just watch random clips on the yt you pick up on... how the same it is. The same message delivered the samely by the same kid. I mean, yeah, I get it, punk is predictable conformist boring pablum and he's driving that home. But "a punk is a 1:33 broken record ksh record ksh record ksh record for an hour and a half" isn't a great sell. It's like listening to "Brainwash" - Flipper. In COLOUR!
Except Ferdinand Porsche was indeed a member of the Nazi Party, and the company helped design military vehicles built with slave labour for the Fuhrer’s attempt to take over Europe and eradicate Jews. So Steve-O was correct to point out the hypocrisy, even if Steve-O himself was a poser.
"Rebelling" in an upper middle class family living on the East bench of Salt Lake with every opportunity and convenience of life? I guess some people are just bored.
1) These are fictional characters you fucking slug 2) If you haven't lived as a mormon or been excommunicated by your own family over a band, then shut the fuck up you entitled twat.
@@n1nj4sp4rt4n EXACTLY - he is conscious of the unethical nature of the system that provided him with privilege and isn't thrilled about it. It's like the son of plantation owner inherits his dad's plantation and immediately sets all his slaves free or starts paying them wages. It won't make sense to an economist but it makes perfect sense to human beings.
But it's actually the honest representation of the punk scene: Heroine Bob and Steve-o. One coming from trash getting his anger out; The other rich with every opportunity wanting to burn it all out of rebellion. My brother started a punk band with his best friend. They took me along with them. All the kid's were like this. Even my brother and his best friend. My brother and I came from not so good family. I remember a week my mother not paying the electrical bill or heating up a pot of water on the stove for a bath. Meanwhile my brother's best friend came from a rich family. His mother was literally our landlord at one point (btw she kicked us out of there for not paying rent lol).
Hot take: All top leaders of any successful rebellion came from middle class or richer family, that paid for the education that makes them successful leaders. Washington, Robespierre, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Guevarra all had privileged childhood Even freaking Bin Laden was a rich kid of a billionaire.
Stevo’s parents are former hippies and divorced. But they are proud of their youthful endeavors. However, Stevo is revolted by what he perceives as their "selling out" by becoming affluent Reagan Republicans, which they lamely try to justify.
Everyone goes through teenaged angst and thinks they know everything. You cringe at what you were like when you had no life experience, then cringe at how you come across to your own kids as a parent, because all teenagers think you are somehow out of touch with modern times. There is nothing glamorous about a punk lifestyle. You've got to live your life and everything, but even having lived through post-punk and doing some things, I am surprised all of my friends and I are still alive, albeit injured as shit from days of pounding beers and gaining back problems.
The only thing I found that kept my hawk higher than eight inches was wood glue.... I know it's fake, but is there anything that sets a two foot hawk and still flails like a damn floppy noodle on your head?
Nobody in Harvard Square would have been baffled, y' square. The only thing they'd have been baffled about in 1995 would have been "why's this poseur still look like this in 1995?"
Now that I'm older I have a new perspective on this movie. Stevo makes me cringe, not his parents. It's the same stupid bullshit every "non-conformist" punk spews.
Well then, how do you explain the Seattle Grunge Scene in the 90s, or the Dirty South Crunk/ Trap Muzik scene in the 00s in Atlanta or the motion pictures that have been made and filmed in Hollywood, California for the past century?
Unfortunately Punk didn't last at least gutter punk punk punk post-punk didn't last now it's all that rap s*** with guys wearing makeup which is cool but that's the future unfortunately punks thing of the past which I hate I hate it with a passion I try to bring it back but also I'm not going to be a sell-out and wear our uniform so where does that leave me where does that leave everyone basically just be yourself but it's a shame that this culture has to be a thing of the past which I try not to let it but I'm only one person don't try too hard and would safe wave your freak flag but that's a little generic just be yourself under this bureaucratic state I'm really so many cultures mix and match up you don't need a really do anything to a tea but don't sell out and a lot of people are doing that and that bums me out man it bums me out
"I didn't sell out son , I bought in. Keep that in mind." lol
Just like Steve-o does in the end. "That kid is gonna make one hell of a lawyer."
I think about this quote often
I didn't sell out, I bought in.
best line
fucking legend
I love the accepting tap Stevo gives his dad after he says that.
3 Ideologies in one room.
Aaa
Mom: Liberal (probably)
Dad: Conservative lite
Steve: Anarchist

Rewatching it, the Dad may not understood Anarchy, but he understood that Steve-o's rebellion is just a phase in his life like when the father was young and went to Woodstock.

me too and at the end of the movie it sort of plays on that
Christopher McDonald is an underrated comedic genius.
Facts. He's an actual actor too. And by that I mean a good one. Lets face it, Lillard is Lillard.
Yes!
Shooter McGavin borrows heavily from this guy
Shoota!
Matthew is perfect for this role.
Low key his jacket goes hard. Whoever in charge of wardrobe did good.
THEY HAD TO GO OUT AND STUDY REAL PUNKS AND THEIR PUNK JACKETS AND THE COMPANY HAD TO D.I Y THE WHOLE PUNK OUTFIT,.........MARIUS(PUNK RULES).

This needs a sequel where Stevo has this talk with his millenials/Gen Z kids.
There is a sequel
There is a horrible sequel
@@birdgizzard and it is absolutely awful
Nah lol. This movie needs to stay as it is
Instead of going to university, Stevo went on to become a detective along with his K9 Unit.
He did though. And did really well there.

True man
You can tell your kids life is tough.
But you can't explain how tough it is.
Real shit man, so true.
complete and utter bullshit. Exactly what pro-capitalist, greedy, machiavellian douchebag sell-outs say.
this movie should be watched by every radical ( communist Anarchist etc). It does a great job at showing the short side of this type of thinking.
It’s funny how you can clearly tell that’s a rubber Mohawk
Well, I'm not wearing my glasses so I didn't pick up on that, but I did think... is that how they did them in Utah? Bleah.
These parents are much better then mine
I never had respect from anyone in my so called family
"It's difficult dear" 😆😆
Lolll
The little signs he keeps giving the camera is hilarious and i felt it
I'm going to get a 4.0 in Damage.
Haha
bauhaus
This scene is one of my top favorites in the movie! Really good about the give and take. The dialogue was absolutely spot on!
On the DVD Commentary Matthew Lillard said he liked this scene in the script but asked Merendino if he could improv some new material while the cameras were rolling.
About 75% of his lines from this scene arent in the script. He just got into character and went to town. He made this film.
The greatest golfer in the world is Steve's dad! Awesome!
This movie is a classic. Fucking loved every second of it
Is that shaggy talking shit to shooter?
Crazy to think he’s like 29 years old here and that’s how old I am was 7 or 8 when this movie came out
I was 2
He’s 52 now
I wasn’t even born
HELLO, GENTS, EVEN AT 53 YEARS OLD, I'M STILL A PUNK ROCKER OUTFIT AND ALL,......NO STUPID DRUGS OR DUMB ALCOHOL JUNK,......MARIUS(PUNK RULES).
He's drinking a PBR lol .....classic
"He's a son of a bitch." Nice self-own there, Stevo's mom!
Matthew is good in this. Hilarious.
Matthew's my favorite. He's funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Except when you just watch random clips on the yt you pick up on... how the same it is. The same message delivered the samely by the same kid. I mean, yeah, I get it, punk is predictable conformist boring pablum and he's driving that home. But "a punk is a 1:33 broken record ksh record ksh record ksh record for an hour and a half" isn't a great sell. It's like listening to "Brainwash" - Flipper. In COLOUR!
This film is like the American version of Human Traffick (British movie but instead of Punk it's rave culture and Ecstasy).
My favorite scene it's when his father picks him up in his Porsche, and Steve rants about a jew driving a German car.
"IT'S JUST A CAR STEVE! "
Except Ferdinand Porsche was indeed a member of the Nazi Party, and the company helped design military vehicles built with slave labour for the Fuhrer’s attempt to take over Europe and eradicate Jews.
So Steve-O was correct to point out the hypocrisy, even if Steve-O himself was a poser.
hOLY FUCK THIS SCENE HITS DIFFERENT SEEING IT AT 40 AS HIS DAD BASICALLY VS WHEN IT CAME OUT AND BEING HIM

yes thats the point smart guy. new generations live in a word devoid of purpose outside of the profit motive

God I love this clip
I Think of this movie is the sequel to Grease 2. This is who goose became and the boy he raised. I could do see it! 😂
"I'm baffled." lmao
Stevo’s parents are former hippies and divorced. But they are proud of their youthful endeavors. However, Stevo is revolted by what he perceives as their "selling out" by becoming affluent Reagan Republicans, which they lamely try to justify.
And he does the same thing in the end

Yeah, it's called a wig. Synthetic hair. Lol
Egg whites and boiled glue homie
Elmers glue and a clothes iron
Gelatine
My cousin and I were told by Jorge of The Casualties to use gelatine. You could bend your hair down and it would fly back up.
I AM THE FUTURE
He'll never win the gold jacket with that kind of attitude 👉 (bang!)
Nobody in Harvard Square would have been baffled, y' square. The only thing they'd have been baffled about in 1995 would have been "why's this poseur still look like this in 1995?"
Lol my parents would never let me do that 😂😂😂😂😂
Gregor Whyte If I did that to my dad he would fist fight me but my dad had a Mohawk and I got it bc he looked cool with it
WHICH IS WHY YOU DO IT ANYWAY BABEY
Theres such a thing as chibbing ya know
My Dad would've beat my Ass if I said that to him
4.0 in DAMAGE
"It's difficult dear."
Just...the way😆😆
This is the funniest scene holy shit
Sad thing about punks, they're really just spoiled rich kids
Not really. Most are coming from middle class family’s who some times struggle with money
@rednxze theyre there too lmao
3:20
yes.
I love that he's supposed to be 18 in this
You know what would be great...if I could get a Pepsi...oh miss...diet?
I wanna see a conversation between Stevo and his kids. lol
Greatest movie ever!!!! 🥰😍
Some dysfunctional family lol man I haven’t seen this movie in years sense I was in high school
BRILLIANCE!!!! RESILIENCE!!! EXCELLENCE????? ELEGANCE???? ENDURANCE...... PERSISTENCE..... PERSEVERANCE......🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 FINISH IT/FIX IT/FIGHT IT/FEEL IT/FIND IT/KEEP IT/OWN IT, CITIZENS 🛐☯️☮🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Best. Scene. Ever.
Me to my parents right after I graduated high school
No it's not
How many abortions have you had since going to college?
How you paying for that University, boy?
Who wouldn’t listen to Shooter?
Best line. But also confusing. "He takes after his father. He's a son of a bitch." That wasn't it. The best part was the "fuck you dear".
Now that I'm older I have a new perspective on this movie. Stevo makes me cringe, not his parents. It's the same stupid bullshit every "non-conformist" punk spews.
Shaggys so cool 😎
Too bad the sequel kinda sucked x)
Oh it was sooooo bad.
4real
We don't speak of that.
Sequel doesn't exist what are you talking about
@@mschell8022 lol you're as uninformed as his father : )
@TheSaltWorld no
😎👍
Crazy hair do
4.0 in damage.
Let the enchroachment of liberties begin!!
New york is the mecca of culture in America thats facts
Yes and no, the USA is a lot more than NYC
Well then, how do you explain the Seattle Grunge Scene in the 90s, or the Dirty South Crunk/ Trap Muzik scene in the 00s in Atlanta or the motion pictures that have been made and filmed in Hollywood, California for the past century?
XD
