Spetters (1980)

The Paul Verhoeven-directed coming-of-age drama Spetters (1980) follows three close-knit Dutch dudes attempting to better their lives through the sport of motocross. There’s Rien, the motocross-racing champ (Hans van Tongeren), biker hot shot Hans (Maarten Spanjer), and the son of a preacher man, the mechanic Eef (Toon Agterberg). When the trio aren’t kicking up dirt on the race track, their losing themselves in drugs, booze, and frequent trips to a dance club. It’s business as usual until the sexy Fientje (Renee Soutendijk) and her gay brother, national motocross champion Witkamp (Rutger Hauer), move into town. While Fientje has her eye on all three guys, seeing the amateur bike riders as her meal ticket out of her miserable life, one of the dudes has his eye on Witkamp. The movie takes a dark turn when Rien is permanently injured in a biking accident and Eef falls victim to a leather-clad pack of gay dudes looking for some ass, forever changing dynamic of the engine-revving buddies’ friendship. Spetters gets better, thanks to the butt-baring, penis-flaunting scene of sex and violence from Toon Agterberg, Maarten Spanjer, Hans van Tongeren, and Gee Linnebank. Mr. Man would love to do the double Dutch with these dick-waving dudes!
