Movie Info

In the 1950s, Dude Delaney (David Arquette) is a guitar-playing drifter who wanders into a quiet town looking to play music and generally cause trouble, much to the chagrin of the local sheriff (William Sadler). While palling around with his B-movie-obsessed friend, Nixer (John Hawkes), Dude meets a beautiful woman by the name of Donna (Salma Hayek), and is offered a position in a rockabilly band, but the sheriff is intent on getting rid of him by any means necessary.

A slick, fast-paced greaser picture that shows off the incredible talent of director Robert Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said that he cast Arquette for the "good sleaze factor." Arquette's constant sneer throughout the film proves that Rodriguez was absolutely right.

A trifle, but a fun and engaging one at that.

Audience Reviews for Roadracers

May 22, 2012

A greaser picture from the wonderfully eccentric mind of Robert Rodriguez, "Roadracers" is an entertaining and wonderfully unique work from the talented Director. I'm a huge fan of Rodriguez and his gift to make great films despite early budgetary limits are nearly unmatched in the industry. This early work from him takes place in the 50s and feature David Arquette for his sleaze factor, so says Rodriguez. It's entertaining, briskly paced and over the top in places all with Robert Rodriguez's unique look and feel to it. If you are a fan then be sure to check out this early work of his, you won't be disappointed.
