Roadside Prophets is a 1992 film written and directed by Abbe Wool, featuring musicians John Doe of the seminal L.A. punk band X, and Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys, with numerous cameo appearances by, amongst others, Timothy Leary, Arlo Guthrie, Dick Rude, David Carradine, an uncharacteristic performance by John Cusack as Casper, a self-styled "Symbionese" rebel, and a very early film performance by Don Cheadle.
Its tagline is: "They weren't born to be wild. It just turned out that way."
Bizarre and surreal road movie about a biker and his unlikely sidekick. On a quest to fulfill a friend's last wish, Joe takes to the desert road on his 1957 Harley-Davidson and meets a succession of odd characters, including Sam. Sam begins following Joe, on a quest of his own, which necessitates staying in Motel 9's wherever they go. Themes such as friendship, faith, and isolation are brought into sharp relief by strange situations, the lonely road, and the stark emptiness of the desert. There are also several humorous cameos.
