This attracts the attention of the US Government, and life for the duo gets more and more dangerous, although they just think the whole outing is “ cool“.Īs in the MTV television series, creator Mike Judge provides the voices for most of the main characters, although with this being a film, so it requires some guest appearances. Unaware to the pair, she sets them up with a device which can kill several blocks of people when set off. Once they meet Dallas Grimes in Las Vegas, she turns the tables on her ex, promising Beavis and Butthead even more money plus lots of sex if they go back home and kill Muddy instead. However, as Muddy refers to the job as asking them to “ do his wife“, Beavis and Butthead immediately start sniggering and spend the next hour of the film thinking that they’re going to score with the babe in the photo, and their greed is boosted by the fact that they think they’re going to be paid $10,000 to lose their virginity. Their quest to find the TV leads them to a motel where they meet Muddy Grimes, a redneck who mistakes our heroes for two other men who have been hired to kill his wife, Dallas. Why? Because the TV have been stolen leaving him reduced to a gibbering wreck, able only to click the remote control at the empty space left. In fact, he’s rudely awoken by Beavis who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
However, it soon becomes apparent as Butthead awakes that it’s all a dream. The film begins with Beavis and Butthead recreating a Godzilla film as they walk down a street full of skyscrapers creating havoc by destroying cars and buildings as they begin to have a fight, the damage from which escalates as does their insults towards each other. Although the film forsakes the pop clips, music is still a mainstay of the film, the opening credits containing a song sung by Isaac Hayes, and being a pastiche of Shaft and Charlie’s Angels to a scene in Las Vegas where Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Love Rollercoaster pumps out with a band dressed in typical ’70s style.
The television series mixed stories full of insults and pop videos, with criticism of the latter blended in. Beavis And Butthead Do America is the big film spin-off of the animated TV series, and is one which will have no trouble finding an audience, mainly because those who are already familiar with the duo’s antics and goals in life will queue round the block to see it, whereas those who think it just plain sucks, won’t.
