Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Roadracers is a 1994 Made-for-TV Movie starring David Arquette and Salma Hayek. It is the second full-length feature directed by Robert Rodriguez after his indie classic, El Mariachi. It was produced for Showtime as part of the network's Rebel Highway series, which consisted of loose remakes of vintage American International Pictures B-movies from The '50s.Dude (Arquette) is a cool rock and roller and Donna (Hayek) is his girlfriend; they dream of leaving their boring small town together. Teddy (Jason Wiles) is the town hot-head who bears a grudge against Dude for burning his girlfriend's hair. Teddy's dad (William Sadler), a Corrupt Cop who everybody just calls "Sarge", bears an old grudge against Dude's absent father, and makes Dude's life difficult because of it. Rounding out the cast are Dude's odd friend Nixer (John Hawkes), who's obsessed with Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and J.T. (O'Neal Compton), who cooks at the local Greasy Spoon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Blowing Smoke Rings: Shots of Dude idly blowing smoke rings in a mostly empty club are interspersed with Teddy harassing Donna at the park.

Greaser Delinquents: Dude is this to a T. His hair is so greasy, he actually uses it to slick up the floor of the Roller Rink, causing Teddy to slip and fall.

Contemplate Our Navels: Nixer compares a french fry to the length of his life. Then J.T. takes it and smothers it in ketchup.

Hilarious Outtakes: The credits have a blooper reel that's mostly David Arquette trying to act cool and failing miserably.
