For Rod Kimble, performing stunts is a way of life, even though he is rather accident-prone. Poor Rod cannot even get any respect from his stepfather, Frank, who beats him up in weekly sparring matches. When Frank falls ill, Rod devises his most outrageous stunt yet to raise money for Frank's operation -- and then Rod will kick Frank's butt.
So this is my third time watching Hot Rod, and I might think it's small underrated masterpiece in absurd humor. It gets better and better after each watch. I love the premise: I need to make money to save my step dad, so I can kicks his ass, so I can earn his respect.
