If Walter Hill's Warriors Loved To Dance They Might Move To THE FP

Make no mistake, these badass men are as punk as they come. They've got mohawks. They've got tattoos. They've got ... torches. Okay, that bit doesn't make that much sense, really, but it sort of does when you consider that these particular punks live in a world that settles territorial disputes with rounds of dance video game Beat Beat Revalation. So named to avoid lawsuits, no doubt. And given that one of the leaders wears an eye patch I'd say they're not particularly friendly rounds of Beat Beat Revalation, either.

For years an underground war has raged for dominance over the small town of Frazier Park between two clans: The 248 from the north and the 245 from the south. The outcome of this war is determined not with fistfights or petty brawls, but the dancing video game Beat-Beat Revelation. With a skirmish imminent between the two clan leaders, BTRO, legendary Beat-Beat Player from the 248 and the up and coming, foul mouthed, shit talkin' threat, L Dubba E, who leads the 245. Our hero, caught in the middle of this war is BTRO's younger brother, JTRO. A young man struggling to find his strength, and become the savior he was born to be.
Who is responsible for such madness? Would you believe the cinematographer of Crank? The FP is written and directed by the Trost Brothers, one of whom - Jason - also stars as JTRO while the other - Brandon - mans the camera, a position he has held on both Crank films, MacGruber, Halloween II and stacks of others. Witness their creation in the gallery below.
