THE SEARCH FOR ANImAL CHIN<br />

uSA 1987 DIRECTOR: Stacy Peralta SCREENPLAY: John Smythe, Paul Gross CINEmATOgRAPHY: Pat Darrin RuNNINg TImE: 1h 5m<br />

PRODuCER: Stacy Peralta SOuRCE: Powell & Peralta<br />

Hvem er Animal Chin? Svar: Won Ton Animal Chin er en eldre kar fra Kina<br />

med langt hvitt skjegg, mannen som oppfant skateboarding, og temmelig<br />

hardcore. Men midt på 1980-tallet har sponsing og kommersialisering tatt<br />

overhånd i sporten, og Animal Chin er gått under jorda. For å finne ham drar<br />

de fem medlemmene av skategruppa Bones Brigade til California, Hawaii og<br />

Nevada, og skater på ramper og fortau, i gamle elveløp og tomme svømmebasseng<br />

underveis. For det er kanskje ikke så farlig med hele Chin-greia.<br />

the search for animal chin har et plott (med mye sjarmerende<br />

småflau dialog) og et snev av kulturkritikk, men som Tommy Guerrero sier i<br />

scenen der gutta kjører en Cadillac gjennom ørkenen: «If we don’t find him,<br />

that’s ok / we had a rad time anyway!» Denne filmen handler om å vise fram<br />

fet skating – og innfrir ett hundre prosent.<br />

Tommy Guerrero and girl (kind of cute) on skateramp. Tommy: «Have you<br />

seen Chin?» Girl: «Who?» Tommy: «Chin.» Girl: «Who?» Yes, who is Chin?<br />

He is Won Ton Animal Chin, the old white bearded hardcore Chinese guy<br />

who invented skateboarding. And where is he? Well, one answer is that he<br />

has gone underground, because dark forces – sponsoring and commercialization<br />

– have taken over skateboarding. Now, Tommy Guerrero and the rest<br />

of legendary skateboard crew Bones Brigade are on the search for him, in<br />

California, Hawaii and Nevada.<br />

A different answer is that this Chin business isn’t too important. Yes, the<br />

search for animal chin is one of the few skateboard films with a plot,<br />

although the dialogue and acting is charmingly cheesy. And it does voice a<br />

certain criticism. But the overall purpose is to show some awesome skating.<br />

We promise you won’t be disappointed. Unreal!<br />
