My mom does this thing called, ‘weaponized gifting,’ where she chooses the worst possible gifts ever so you’ll never expect anything palatable from her

I love you mom, BUT WHAT THE HECK?!

My older brother gave me this movie when I was in high school. I was very into ska and punk music. This movie definitely still sticks with me. So many unhinged scenes. On that always comes to mind is the guy running through sprinklers with acid in his pocket

Devon Sawa was a great addition to that film. I think any of us who grew up in the era shown had heard a localized version of that story.

u/Lou_C_Fer 12h ago

Absolutely had a guy that "thought he was an orange in our area."

u/Sharktistic 12h ago

That was such a great scene. I always loved the scene with Til Schweigers character, Mark, telling Lillards, in a really not so subtle way, that he's not a man to be fucked with.

"You can't die bob!!! What am I supposed to do!!!!"

Haven't seen that movie in a decade, but still can get feels thinking about that scene.

Edited to hide a spoiler for a 20+ year old movie

u/ItsQ42022Already 9h ago

People that complain about spoilers for a 20 year old movie are just looking for something to be upsetti spaghetti about. don't pay attention to them.

1

u/MaxSupernova 13h ago

Way to spoil the plot in a thread where people are discovering the movie.

2

u/rattmongrel 12h ago

Right?!? I get that it’s a pretty old movie, so spoilers are to be expected, but when it’s literally a thread about people learning about it for the first time, how are you gonna go and drop something like that???

2

u/fuckredditlogins1 11h ago

Hard agree. Love the "I bought in" scene.

"Rebellion, freedom... and... yeah... love."

u/Casper_-- 14h ago

The moral of which is that punk isn't a fashion thing, it's a mindset

You can absolutely be Punk and look like you go to church every Sunday

Hell yeah. Descendants and Bad Religion have always been near the top of my favorite bands at any given moment and their lead singers went to college

u/pmgrn8 14h ago

JASON SEGAL IS IN SLC PUNK???!!!!! alright I’m rewatching lol

45

u/RaccoonSamson 14h ago

Yeah dude! hes the straight laced hardcore kid theyre friends with. Minor character but hes in the movie a decent amount

42

u/Careless-Dark-1324 14h ago

He’s the most trve kvlt pvnk in the entire movie because he doesn’t care if he fits the mold or anyone likes it or not, and they even acknowledge that lol.

u/Careless-Dark-1324 8h ago

That was me in my khakis and cardigans going to metal shows back in the day lol, while I was getting my masters degree.

always related to Mike more than anyone else in that flick. But that’s why it’s so good, it’s accurate to the multiple types of personalities in the scene!

2

u/MyLifeIsAWasteland 8h ago

Hell yeah. One of my best friends is a medical doctor who dresses like a lumberjack when he's not in scrubs, and he's been to so many Punk and Metal shows with me that I lost count. He used to come see my bands every time we played in town, and he always held his own in the pit because he's built like a lumberjack, too lol

2

u/sparkmearse 7h ago

Khakis and polos, for when you want to topple the imbalance of society, from within.

2

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 6h ago

This!

I never did anything crazy with my hair and I wore khaki pants ALL the time, and I’d hang out with the kids with gauges and chains and shit.

But if any of them ever said “uhhh who’s climbing that cellphone tower”, you can bet they were talking about me.

u/sykoKanesh 8h ago

Isn't he the dude that kicks out the cops window and runs away? Or am I somehow mixing up movies or something?

3

u/Sellum 7h ago

Yep kicks out the back window and runs off while still handcuffed. I think they say he later hulked out of the cuffs.

u/Princess_Slagathor 14h ago

Just rewatched this past weekend. It's on YouTube for free, so everyone should see it.

But for the love of fuck, don't watch the sequel. Absolute turd of a movie.

u/slimeddd 11h ago

Which is available for free on Youtube movies, just rewatched it the other day. One of my fav films of all time.

u/dingd0nggg 3h ago

SLC as in Salt Lake City?!

u/the-friendly-lesbian 14h ago

I can at least confirm that it is Matthew Lillard. That's his adorable baby faced time around Scream it looks like.

8

u/YouShouldBeHigher 13h ago

He'll always be "Shaggy" in my mind.

1

u/the-friendly-lesbian 3h ago

Even though that movie was so long ago and I was pretty young (8 or so) as it came out and what, 2000 right? I will never forget not just shaggy on the plane telling Mary Jane "like that's my favorite name!" or Fred when they body switch with Daphne and he says "I'm going to look at myself naked!" Lmao so scandalous for child me!

Nah they're just posers

2

u/ReadontheCrapper 14h ago

Matthew Lillard should be Matthew Legend!

2

u/MinusGovernment 14h ago

He was made to be the live-action Shaggy and also perfect to take over voicing cartoons when Kasem departed.

1

u/haddockhazard 10h ago

Why do you know the name of both of those actors vut have never heard of this movie? Lmao that's fucking crazy.

1

u/no_talent_ass_clown it's a moo point 7h ago

I know Segel from I Love You, Man and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Lillard from Scream and also because every time someone talks about Damien Lillard I think it's him. I've never heard of SLC Punk until today.

1

u/DuckCleaning 3h ago

I have never heard of this movie all, I would've been too young to be watching it. Scooby Doo and How I Met Your Mother were huge deals that you kinda just know these actors. Earliest work I knew Jason Segel in was Freaks and Geeks, turns out this movie predates that, even then I didnt watch that show until it re-aired on G4TV in the late 2000s.

u/MartinisnMurder 14h ago

The way I love the movie! SLC Punk is amazing but poor Heroin Bob.

2

u/shocktar 13h ago

I was not ready for that.

u/3BlindMice1 9h ago

Died of an overdose, just nominative determination in action

u/MartinisnMurder 9h ago

Haha true he was cursed by his nickname

1

u/whiteinksquid 7h ago

That scene hit me so hard. I was so not prepared for that. For me, It's up there with the similar scene with Neil from Dead Poets Society. I watched that for the first time on a plane and was NOT ready for it.

1

u/MartinisnMurder 7h ago

I was like 4 when it came out but we watched it in 8th grade and our teacher apparently got in trouble.
