Final Rinse is part Spinal Tap, part Silence of the Lambs, and all farce. Written and Directed by Robert Tucker, Final Rinse tackles some of the most profound, yet humorous socio-existential dilemmas mankind faces today and puts them in a rock-and-roll hair movie.
You think I'm joking? Check out the film and see for yourself.
Final Rinse centers around hard-boiled detective Max Block (Terence Goodman), in his pursuit of the crazed serial-killer Trojan (David Cale). Targeteing big-haired rockers, Trojan stalks, murders, then coifs each victim in a unique and personal hairdo chosen especially for them.
Battling "the system," media pressure, and LSD flash-backs from a repressed hippie past, Block, along with his partner Joe Tackle(Michael Hannon), hunt Trojan through a hilarious rock-and-roll potpourri of pun-laden pop culture references, violent confrontations, and serious hair.
Final Rinse not only features Joey Ramone in his final film role, but also Frank Gorshin, The Dictators, The Independents, Sebastian Bach, The Last Hard Men (with Bach and Kelley Deal), Biohazzard, and a packed soundtrack including The Ramones, Meat Puppets, Count Five, Mars Needs Women, Twisted Sister, and The Bee Gees (yes, The Bee Gees).
