Hey Michael,

I got your email through our website.   I'm so glad you guys noticed our props to you  guys.   It was an honour to put a clip of it in the film.

Brocket 99 was a huge inspiration to all involved in making the film.  As a punk teenager all of my friends had the entire tape memorized.  In fact even today when I call my old friends in Calgary, we immediately start quoting the tape.  We just slip back into it like we were 19 again. What happened with the tape.   I tried to look at the history on the website but got pushed to some weather network.   Have you guys thought of doing another tape or anything with it.

Take care

Mike

"NOT ONLY IS IT A GREAT MOVIE THAT SOME CLAIM IS DESTINED TO BE A CANADIAN CULT CLASSIC. FUBAR DIGS INTO CANADIAN CULTURE BY PLAYING BROCKET 99 IN THE BACKGROUND DURING THE MOVIE! SO HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THAT?"

DOWSED IN BRANVIN, FUBAR/BROCKET 99 INFO

We received another nice email from Writer / Director Mike Dowse. I have been getting some emails from people asking exactly where Brocket 99 shows up in the film. Since I didn't own a copy and noticed that there are two versions, I wrote Mike and asked if he could tell me whether both films have the Brocket 99 tape playing in the background. Mike assured me that B99 is indeed in both versions of FUBAR!

Well, I finally broke down and bought the movie that has become as much a part of Canadian pop culture as Trailer park boys or our own Brocket 99. I was blown away when I saw that the audio of Brocket 99 shows up at exactly 4:20 into the movie. Now that just seems like too much of a coincidence! Or could it be a message via the great spirit from that buffalo range in the sky? For those whitey's too drunk out of their skull to see 4:20 clearly on the display, look for the scene in the kitchen when the boys are fixin' up some breakfast.

FYI; Here are a few other indirect Brocket 99/Native references in Fubar. Dean says Fuckin Boo Hoo within the first two minutes of the film. AC/DC is all over this movie. Are Terry and Dean drinking Ernie's favorite nectar, Lethbridge Pilsner? Iron Maiden's Run to the hills is featured in the middle of the film. And on the way to Sasquatch creek, Terry and Dean are standing below a mural of  Head smashed in. Sweet!

Mike also mentioned that he was going to add more audio of Brocket 99 to his latest movie but did not have a copy available. We have remedied that problem!

Here is his full email;

The Brockett clip should be on all version of FUBAR.  It is mixed in the background ambience so it might be low volume for  some people, but it is in there.   I just about mixed more brockett into my latest film, but ran out of time and didn't have a copy of brocket handy.  Oh well. Good luck with the new brocket, can't wait to hear it. All the best - Mike

CANADIAN POP CULTURE PAGE

We consider Brocket 99 the mother of modern Canadian pop culture but it's cool to pay homage to the other things too. So, our FUBAR page has become the Canadian pop culture page

If that's not enough to convince you to check out FUBAR I doubt that I'll be able to add anything. As soon as I heard that someone was intelligent to add Brocket 99 to a movie I was psyched. When I read the reviews, I had even more reason. I  went out looking for FUBAR. It's either sold out or not in stock at my 8 favorite video stores. But I wound up finding it at Amazon.com so if you have any trouble just click this bad boy. You'll notice that there are two different versions of FUBAR to buy. One is Canadian and one is a US version. I believe they are both the same. I'm diggin' the fact that Amazon carries the "unrated" version. They're the only ones I buy. Get em' the way they were intended to be seen!

FUBAR HAS A GREAT SOUNDTRACK TOO. WE KNOW ERNIE WOULD DIG IT!!!

More Fubar/Brocket 99 mashups -

The screening of the film(documentary) in the beginning says: -I'm guessing it's about uh -Brocket -No, I'm guessing its about male itch

Film plays After film -......Boo fuckin' hoo -...homework -big fuckin' deal...

Thanks to Charles for that info.

Trailer Park Boys

Trailer Park Boys is a series about love, friends and family-or perhaps it's about everything that can go wrong with love, friends and family. At the centre of Trailer Park Boys are Ricky (Robb Wells) and Julian (John Paul Tremblay), two guys whose lives were shaped by their experiences growing up in the Trailer Park. Their childhood was typical of most trailer park kids - stealing, fighting, smoking, drinking, scamming and listening to Van Halen. The Boys have had their share of trouble with the law. Most of their adult lives have been spent behind bars of one kind or another. In fact, as this inaugural season begins, both Ricky and Julian are just getting out of jail. They blame each other for this most recent incarceration and, now, as Julian prepares to start all over again, he refuses to talk to Ricky. Julian wants and tries throughout the series to go straight - but old habits die hard. And that's just fine with Ricky.

Here's the theme song from the coolest show on television. Trailer Park Boys theme song.

Corner gas

"Corner Gas is a comedy series that answers many of the questions we have about small town life. What would life be like if you lived in the middle of nowhere? What would you do with your days? How long would it take before you go nuts? Popular comedian Brent Butt returns to small town Saskatchewan to portray the life he would have led had he gotten a real job - pumping gas at Corner Gas. Each episode of Corner Gas delivers a half-hour of comedic voyeurism in a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. The series is set in the fictional town of Dog River Saskatchewan, and focuses on the life (or lack thereof) of gas station owner Brent LeRoy, coffee shop proprietor Lacey Burrows and the folks who populate the area. Dog River is a nice town, but far from the quaint and idyllic little burgs we're used to seeing on TV. It isn't Pleasantville and it's definitely not Mayberry. It's a little town with a definite edge where not much happens and people like it that way. But invariably, when things do change, just a little, all hell breaks loose. " cornergas.com
