Sweet Lou's character basically Wooderson from Dazed and Confused?


Anybody else think his character is based on Matthew McConaughey's Wooderson character from Dazed and Confused?

reply

yea thats kinda the point with the "i keep getting older tehy stay the same age" quote, its basiclly the same character maybe jsut updated and more skateboarding and a lot less 70's lmao

Its funny this should come up, because did anyone else notice there is 2 actors from Dazed and confused in Grind?

Jason London(famous for his role as Randall 'Pink' Floyd)plays Jimmy Wilson

While Greg the skateshop owner is played by Sacha Jensen who played Don Dawson in Dazed and confused

Maybe sweet lou is an homage to Wooderson?

reply

Old thread.

I noticed Jason London but not Sacha Jensen. Good find.

They don't even try to pretend Lou isn't a Wooderson rip off. It's pretty obvious from the moment we first see him.

reply

yeah it was definitely a good tribute to the timeless character Wooderson
