After
Doug (Danny Bonaduce) catches his wife cheating on him decides to go
on a road trip with his home video camera in tow. Unfortunately, he
runs into a the Clint Dryer Gang, fortunately their gang leader has a
bit of and ego and wants Doug to 'document' their 'adventures' in
Jack Perez's America's Deadliest Home Video (1993).
Doug
loves making home videos, but then catches his wife cheating on him
(who can blame her for having a voyeuristic/stalker husband) and he
decides to take a road trip and a 'break' from from his marriage (but
not from his camera). While video taping his trip, he accidentally
tapes a crime and then become part of the Clint Dryer Gang. He find
a kindred spirit in Dryer (Mick Wynhoff) in where he wishes to become
famous (or infamous more accurately), but Doug will have to decide
what he wants more ...to be in the gang or to video tape his 'story'.
This
was a fictional drama of what happens with a camera and develops
Stockholm syndrome with his captors who wishes to become famous like
'Bonnie & Clyde'. Through media they believe they will become
infamous and are remembered through history. Nothing new here, but
maybe this was more interesting somehow at the time.
I
know the picture and sound are supposed to be rough and bad, but thus
is the age of the production. Expect rough viewing. Extras include
an audio commentary and trailers.
