Rescue Me (1992)

What on Earth is going on in this film? Nerdy Fraser (Stephen Dorff) is obsessed with Ginny (Ami Dolenz) at High School, so much so that he takes lots of photos of her and stalks her on his moped, its ok though this film takes place in the early 1990s when being a stalker of High School girls was cool. 

However, everything changes when Fraser accidentally stumbles upon some kind of criminal activity involving two dumb thugs and another thug and Ginny ends up kidnapped by the two thugs (William Lucking and Peter DeLuise).

Fraser blackmails the other thug, Mack (Michael Dudikoff), a former Vietnam vet to rescue Ginny. Mack wants to get back his stamps and/or his cash from the thugs. Fraser and Mack follow the pair across America to California, just a bungled attempt to stop them, a shoot-out in a hotel, and a car chase along mountain roads to report. Fraser and Mack begin to bond and Mack introduces Fraser to the joys to sleeping on beaches and with teenage prostitutes. Ginny meanwhile has escaped her hapless captors in Los Angeles but Fraser and Mack are in town too...

Quite a ridiculous film which makes little sense though is definitely fun in the great trash film tradition. The film is played pretty light, almost comedic though most of the humour is unintentional of course. Low on thrills, high on early 90s cheese.
