| Description | Well, they weren't naked. There were two guns, but no knives. They were Samoans, they were Indians, they were rednecks, they pretended to be Maori. They shouted at some Chinese. They were frenetically high-energy…two Samoan brothers…dream of fame and fortune, beautiful women and shampoo. But when they can't even pull off a gig at The Big Easy, the rot of hopelesness sets in. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
