Statements:
“Incredible film, visually and audibly delicious! The voyage of “the crew” makes you feel like your right there on the trip! This is the perfect meld of Tiki and Hotrod at its finest! Well done guys... Well done!”
"A stunning masterpiece!"
“Great show! Well put together and well worth watching! 10/10”
“Settled down on a wet Friday night with a few beers in Belfast to watch the road movie and the sun just rolled in! If you're a Hot Rod, Kustom and/or Tiki fan and especially if you live somewhere in the world that is gray and a long way from California this will take you to another world. Whenever it’s pissing down here I will stick on the movie and live the dream.”
“What an incredibly well shot film! I enjoyed the story and the visuals. I'd love to see more projects with the The Wild Bunch!”
"This is the kind of film you want to watch three times in a row to catch all the cool bits they throw in. So tripple up your popcorn and have fun!"
“Wow, holy crap was this a lot of fun to watch. What a great representation of Southern California!”
“A super cool and entertaining movie with the most beautiful shooting. Guaranteed Behlau color scheme not to mention the beautiful mellow velvety voice of Ms Jessica. If you enjoy Tiki, kustom kulture and hot rods, this is your movie!”
"Cool guys! Beautiful girls! Great soundtrack! Weird cars! ...and drinks drinks drinks!!! Don't forget to have a drink ready while watching this movie! Damn short 78 minutes! GRRREAT!!!"
“Dirk has done it again after the huge success of his first movie, Flake & Flames. This time he captures the inner circle of the Polynesian Pop, traditional hot rodding, & traditional pinup subcultures. It's a must see for fans of any of these (and who isn't?)”
