This is definately the worst ever supposed film I have ever seen. The dialog was wooden with loooooooooong pauses between speaking.
The editors and writers should be shot. I notice some of them big up this film and give it a ten vote cos they all have a stake in this donkey.
Listen up dong dongs, I write stuff fifty times better than this and bo-one should waste their time or money watching it.

The leading skater is a black youth who happens to develop a relationship with a Hispanic girl. Unfortunately, she is the sister of one of the leaders of the rival skate gang.

TAG - LINE: " Tales of the supernatural "

GENRE: Mystery/Suspense and Ghost stories.
SYNOPSIS: A doorway becomes a refuge for several people in a sudden violent downpour and storm.
Invited in by one of the apartment dwellers, the storm and then some unusual tales are related.
One tale leads to another, but perhaps the spookiest is the story that wraps them all with the strange man in the apartment
.Along the way is a ghost story that explains numerous fatal car crashes by a soaring freeway onramp.
Another tale set in the Louisiana bayou explains the reasons a family prefer to live in a mosquito infested swamp.
Yet another story relates the horror of a little boy alone in a bedroom hearing noises.
All the stories have a moral dimension and enough philosophy to make a viewer think about the ordinary events that have extraordinary causes.

You know that your description of "Homeboy Hello" is a direct ripoff of 1986's skateboarding film "Thrashin'" starring Josh Brolin?
Thanks Machine, you are right it sounds very similar.
I'd never heard of it but will certainly check it. However my own script is about Ophie a BLACK guy...so a bit of a diff there and is based directly on OTHELLO, by Shakko.
But thanks for the info.....it doesnt seem to be on dvd in my local hollywwod video though..
