"The final battle for the Fp." XYZ Films has revealed an official trailer the next film in the ongoing indie sci-fi action comedy series The Fp, continuing with Fp - 4Evz arriving this February. It's skipping theaters and heading to VOD directly. This is a follow-up to the other sequels FP2: Beats of Rage (2018) and FP3: Remix Revelation / Escape from Bako (2021). A legendary family of rhythm game warriors must battle their way deep into the future to save what remains of a booze fueled humanity from a horrific calamity that threatens to turn them all stone cold sober 4 Evz. Jason Trost returns again as Jtro, with Tallay Wickham, Art Hsu, Lib Campbell, Ryan Gibson, Mike O'Gorman, and Bru Muller. This next one looks uber trippy, borrowing from Scott Pilgrim and Star Wars of course, with all the expected low budget sci-fi touches. I'm surprised one of the Trosts...

"Winning is an addiction, Jtro!" Get ready for a sequel to that cult indie sci-fi film that you didn't see! The first teaser trailer has arrived for Beats of Rage, a sequel to The Fp, a cult sci-fi film about a futuristic world where winning the Dance-Dance-Revolution arcade game is the greatest glory. Jason Trost writes, directs, produces, and stars in this sequel as Jtro, who hung up his boots at the end of The Fp. He's back, however, just like all great 80's post-apocalyptic sequels and must venture into "The Wastes" to train again to defeat a bro known as Ak-47. Jason is solo directing this, separating from his brother Brandon, as the two made the original film together as the Trost Brothers (Brandon is now working as a Dp on other films). The cast of Beats of Rage includes Art Hsu, Mike O'Gorman, Nick Principe, Tallay Wickham, Brandon Barrera,...

It seems everyone and their uncle is trying to make instant cult movies these days. Whether they be grindhouse-inspired genre flicks or retro movies that throwback to the heyday of VHS, it seems “cult” is the new cool. However trying to make a cult film and succeeding at making a cult film are two very different things…
Thankfully The Fp falls into the later category, with what can only be described as a mash-up of Escape From New York and Step Up!

Brothers Brandon and Jason Trost have put everything into their passion project titled The Fp. It’s a bizarre tale about two rival gangs that battle it out not with weapons, but with dancing. The Fp takes the popular game Dance, Dance, Revolution to the next level, introducing a whole new wacky world, full of over-the-top characters and scenarios. I can see where the Trost Bros. were going; I just didn’t have as much fun watching it as they did making it.
Sometime in the near post apocalyptic future two rival gangs rule a small town. They battle it out over a dancing video game, which rewards the winner with the props and whatever other cool shit people like to throw around when they’ve beaten someone at something. Jtro (Jason Trost) loses a friend to the deadly game and vows to never return again, but as the days go by things get worse.

The Fp
Directed by: The Trost Brothers
Cast: Jason Trost, Art Hsu, Lee Valmassy
Running Time: 1 hr 22 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: March 16, 2012 (Chicago)
Plot: A futuristic civil war in California’s Frazier Park is fought by two gangs who competitively play the dance game “Beat Beat Revelation.”
Who’S It For?: People who think that “midnight movies” are only played at that certain time because that’s when all cults meet. Being talented at “Dance Dance Revolution” is not required.
Overall
Like the Wonderland that sucks in little virginal Alice into a mind-blowing odyssey of stunning events and funky characters, all of them dressed up with impeccable costuming, The Fp grabs hold of its lucky viewers and takes them through a bizarre world more magical (and delightfully over-the-top) than something we could ever try to conceive ourselves.

Rating: 3.5/5.0
Chicago – “The Fp,” playing in midnight shows this weekend at Music Box and in various arthouse theaters around the country, is a hard movie to put your finger on. Is it just bad like “Birdemic” or “The Room” or is it something “trying” to be bad? Is it a spoof of bad movies or just a bad movie? Does it matter? Either way, “The Fp” works for its audience, a rowdy crowd of midnight movie fans willing to put up with over-the-top silliness, bad performances, and general lunacy. It’s essentially an extended short film that doesn’t even justify its short running time but audiences on its wavelength will eat it up.
One has to give the team behind “The Fp” major credit for sticking to their ridiculous vision from first frame to last. Their movie is totally goofy and I don’t mean that as insulting as it may sound.

We live in an era in which talented filmmakers sometimes trade in creativity and taking chances for remakes, reboots and 3-D gimmicks. We get it -- they're a giant cash cow. Leave it up to the up-and-comers to make unique and rare movies that won't be seen by even a small portion of the people who saw "Clash of the Titans." At least we know those crazy ones still exist.
Right now those hungry men are Brandon and Jason Trost, the duo that has made the most bonkers independent movie of this year -- a movie about living the somewhat thug life called "The Fp."
"The Fp" is bats**t crazy. Here's the synopsis (bear with us, it gets weird). The film is set in a post-apocalyptic future in the Fp, known to you and me as Frazier Park. There's famine, overpopulation and disease, and the people and streets are...

A film that feels cobbled together from a "Dance Dance Revolution" arcade machine, that graffiti-covered white room where Will Smith shot music videos during his 'Fresh Prince' days and the desperate need to create a new pop culture catchphrase, “The Fp” is a singular pastiche of hip-hop nostalgia, smalltown escapism and dystopian absurdity. But the raw materials from which brothers Brandon and Jason Trost assemble their first feature are so specific that the end result may have trouble appealing to a wider audience, especially if viewers aren’t willing to embed their tongue so deeply in their cheek that they practically choke on it. A fun and ambitious if over-the-top and overlong comedy about a world where gangs work out their differences via dance fights to the death, “The Fp” is one of the most unique films made in years, but that novelty value also often makes it more of...

The Fp
Directed by Brandon & Jason Trost
Screenplay by Brandon Trosh
2011, USA
A completely straight-faced parody/tribute with an amalgam of pop-culture signifiers, boasting the slogan “Shit’s tough in the Fp,” this certifiably offbeat campfest takes aim at many different targets -video game culture, inner city gangs, Hip Hop slang, ravers, techno music and even underdog sports films.
The film opens with an early-80′s-style scroll and narration to set the tone: a vaguely post-apocalyptic near future (or alternate universe), where gangs compete for street cred by battling each other with a bastardized version of Dance Dance Revolution not-too-subtly called Beat Beat Revolution. For years an underground war has raged for dominance over the small town of Frazier Park between two clans: The 248 from the north and the 245 from the south. When Jtro (Jason Trost) loses his brother Btro (Brandon Barrera) in a Beat Beat Revolution match, he swears...

Two rival gangs feud for control of rural wasteland Frazier Park, The Fp. Dance-fighting is their preferred method of battle. Jason and Brandon Trost made their feature debut fueled by black-souled and delightfully vulgar anarchy. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it’s something you’ve just got to go with it.

Here, I’ll let you read the plot of The Fp, give you a moment to let it sink in and then we’ll talk.
After hometown hero Btro (Brandon Barrera) is slain on the dance platform by trash-talking thug leader L Dubba E, his protege little brother Jtro (Jason Trost) vows never to duel again and vanishes into self-imposed isolation. A year later, he's located by distressed former gang-mate Kc/DC ('Crank 2''s Art Hsu)...

"Hey L Dubba E, I challenge you to a beat off!" Today's indie trailer is a red band for a film called The Fp, directed by the Trost Brothers being distributed by Drafthouse Films. It's essentially The Warriors meets Dance Dance Revolution, the video game, in some crazy dark comedy mayhem. Director Jason Trost also stars as Jtro with Lee Valmassy as L Dubba E, Art Hsu, Caitlyn Folley, Nick Principe and Brandon Barrera as Btro. This actually looks surprisingly good, like a great cult classic in the making. There's a lot of good humor in it. Though I do think this trailer shows pretty much everything up until the end, maybe too much.

The two reactions I’ve heard to The Fp have either been in the territory of “it’s a lot of fun” or “it’s completely unwatchable.” Appropriate, then, that my reaction to the red band trailer, from IGN (via AICN), shifted between “this looks kind of entertaining” to “oh, you have got to be kidding me.” (Not in a positive sense.)
So while I could find merit in certain parts that are being sold here — the cinematography and gritty production design, primarily — something about the pitch and tone of everything else is just… grating. I’d love to be wrong here; something that can successfully create an over-the-top sensibility appeals to and entertains me on a very base level. But if it’s anything like this preview, The Fp will have already lost me.

First up, we bring you the official poster for The Fp courtesy of Movies.com. The movie premiered at last year’s South by Southwest to good reviews (including my own, wink) and Drafthouse Films, the distribution arm of movie chain Alamo Drafthouse, quickly picked it up. On top of that, BadassDigest (also associated with the Drafthouse) also reported the official release date, which has been set for March 16th. It will only be limited, however; for a complete list of theaters head over to Badass Digest, and see the poster below:

I was going to write an article about the news Matthew Vaughn is going to direct the sequel to X-Men: First Class, but quite frankly I don't care. All that means is that Vaughn won't be directing something more interesting. So... yeah... Whatever. However, a new press release landed in my inbox that I was originally going to ignore until I saw Vince over at Film Drunk slathering it with all the inappropriate words I've come to expect and admire him for. The film is The Fp and it was just picked up for distribution by Drafthouse Films who will also be bringing you the excellent Foreign Language nominee Bullhead in just over two weeks on February 17. The Fp is short for Frazier Park from which co-directors and brothers Jason and Brandon Trost originate and Vince describes it as "probably the best quasi-dystopian hero's journey set in the world of...

It’s all about ‘street cred’ and pride in the small town of Frazier Park, CA. In ‘The Fp’, Jtro and his crew seek revenge on a neighbouring clan after the death of his brother, not with traditional weapons like fists, or guns, but with a dance off…Beat Beat Revolution.
If you’re looking for a good combination of humour, trash talk and video games then you’ll enjoy this film by Directors/Screenwriters Jason and Brandon Trost, based on their short film released in 2007.
Silly slang, ridiculous characters, like Art Hsu’s character, Kcdc, and a tale of revenge after Btro’s death (exhaustion from too much Beat Beat), ‘The Fp’ is definitely entertaining. It’s a parody on a martial arts or sports movie, featuring one of the most fun and popular video games of all time, Dance Dance Revolution.
Although the film is funny and entertaining on different levels,...

Most of the time, you’re not entirely sure what you’re walking in to, which can be either a curse or a blessing. In the case of The Fp, I hadn’t seen a trailer or a still from the film. The only thing I’d heard about the film was endless praise from people I trust about how inventive and funny it was.

Frazier Park, mothafuckas! Long have I been lamenting the making-a-bad-movie-on-purpose subgenre as of late, because I think if filmmakers try and stick to the joke throughout, they can make a damn fun movie. And if ever there were an example of that, it's the Trost Bros. The Fp. This thing looks like it was shot for the lint-dusted pocket change sitting in a bedside jar and three handjobs to be delivered later. The concept is absolutely donkeyballs ludicrious: underground street gangs roam the countryside of rural California settling their disputes with showdowns on the Beat-Beat Revolution dance machine. The entire thing is steeped in a late eighties veneer with characters spouting an exaggerated hip-hop patois -- calling each other "nig" and "bitch" and requesting someone "check a look" at things. With a lily-white cast -- save for the remarkable lone Asian -- it's a fucking risk. And it pays off.

SXSW has introduced us to some cool films for the upcoming year and the SXFantastic midnight series gave us a few surprises as well, one being Brandon Trost and Jason Trost's The Fp which is a weird combo of Dance, Dance Revolution meets Class of Nukem High. Actor Nick Principe (Chromeskull:Laid to Rest 2) shared this trailer on his Facebook page over the weekend and you just have to watch it. This movie is so over the top it'll be a smash for sure among the gamers and even bringing in a new audience.
The film stars Jason Trost, Lee Valamassy, Caitlyn Folley, Art Hsu, Nick Principe and Clifton Collins, Jr. and is just crazy enough and over the top to be a hit!
Plot:
For years an underground war has raged for dominance over the town of Frazier Park between two clans. Dominance isn't determined through fistfights or petty brawls,...

You wanna be in on the ground floor of something absurd and awesome? Strap on your ski boots and hit some Beat Beat!
Opinions were all over the map at SXSW concerning its SXFantastic midnight film The Fp but I will personally challenge anyone to a 187 cage match who says this movie is anything other than a great time.
Set in some alternate universe, The Fp takes sports films, 1980s action pictures and the patois of urban youth and puts it all in an acid wash blender. The result: a Warriors-esque gang film about the underground Dance Dance Revolution circuit, where the fate of your own home turf down to the very park ducks is determined.
No cliche is left behind in The Fp, but unlike pieces of dreck like Meet the Spartans this is not a "reference" movie. It is (and this is what makes it so fantastic) deadly,...

Who’S It For? The Trost brothers described the perfect audience as people who want to enjoy making fun of a Bruckheimer film. I would agree, as long as you lower your expectations.
Overall
Welcome to The Fp. Also known as Frazier Park. Two rival gangs have been fighting for supremacy for years. Everything attempts to be over the top with the flick, including the way they fight … Beat-Beat Revelation. They play it straight and that’s the joke. Unlike films such as Shooter, where the joke is clearly on them.

Now that the SXSW Film Festival is coming to a close, we get a moment to take a breather, recovering and revisiting the memories of the films and parties that have instilled in our heads a seemingly permanent soreness. We also have to live with the inevitable regret over the buzzing films we may have missed.
Well, we’ve found a solution for one of these problems. At the Ritz all next week, we’re bringing back four of the SXFantastic films that have been some of the highlights of this year’s SXSW! In case you don’t know, SXFantastic is Fantastic Fest’s sidebar of the film festival, a series of cutting-edge midnight movies selected by our programming team.

Last night's screening of SXFantastic selection "The Fp" at the Alamo Ritz began -- as apparently all screenings of "The Fp" begin -- with a ceremonial Four Loko chug race: Crew members, including the brotherly directing team of Brandon and Jason Trost, versus audience members. It was a goofy mood-setter, and maybe a bit of a warning: to fully appreciate their movie you might need to be drunk and high.
"The Fp" stands for Frazier Park, the area of California where the Brothers Trost hail from and which, if "The Fp" is to believed, is perhaps the white trashiest place on earth. In the Trosts' demented vision the Fp is a post-apocalyptic wasteland where rival gangs from "The 245" and "The 248" battle for control of the area's alcohol by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Whoever controls the booze controls the hobos, and whoever controls the hobos can keep the ducks in the park fed.

A clever spoof on the action films of the 1980′s, The Fp is one of the more unique films I have seen in recent memory. Taking place some time in the future when turf wars are decided by one’s prowess at Beat Beat Revelation, here are 83 minutes that will make any normal moviegoer sit back and think “what the hell am I watching?!?” Said viewer will then be hard-pressed to forget what he’s watched.
The Fp follows Jtro (Jason Trost), who watches his brother Btro die during a particularly grueling Bbr session with rival gang leader L Dubba E El (Lee Valmassy). Distressed over these events, Jtro flees into the outskirts of his home of Frazier Park (aka The Fp) to go work as a log-cutter. But while Jtro has quit the life, the life hasn’t quit him as his fellow gang member Kcdc (Art Hsu) brings him back into the fold.

The film program at South By Southwest (SXSW) has really come into its own over the past few years -- SXSW is becoming an impressive little film fest in addition to being a massive music party. The lineups for Midnight features and shorts have been announced, and there are some good premieres in there. Attack the Block, from Joe Cornish, will have a world premiere, while Hobo With a Shotgun and James Wan's Insidious will show up as well. And the films that most of us haven't heard of sound pretty great, too. If I was at the fest I'd have my ass planted in a seat for every one of these at midnight. Screw the parties -- the crazy genre films are the way to go. The fill list of features is after the break. The shorts program is massive, and you can find it at the SXSW website [1].

Following the unveiling of the fantastic 2011 feature line-up last week, the South by Southwest Film Festival has announced the films selected to play at midnight throughout the nine-day event, as well as the complete list of short films.
Insidious, a haunted house flick from Saw director James Wan, is among the midnight program, along with Xavier Gen’s sci-fi thriller The Divide, Sundance favorite Hobo With a Shotgun, Argentinean entry Phase 7, and Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block.

Spike Jonze returns to the festival with another short film titled Scenes from the Suburbs, his second collaboration with (and about) the band Arcade Fire after his moving feature Where the Wild Things Are.
For those of you attending the festival, the schedule will be released on February 15 along with details about film-related panels.

Some mild Crank: High Voltage spoilers to follow...
Taking in an estimated $6.5 million for the weekend, the Crank sequel seemed to please most fans (less so myself) and many critics (the Tomatometer now stands at 69%, over the original's 60%) without totally taking America by storm. Hey, we live in a world where not everyone wants to pay to see Jason Statham stick a lubed-up shotgun inside some thug's rectum -- different strokes, people, different strokes.
Now, as Chev Chelios finally confronted the man with the red cooler (Art Hsu) after a momentarily Godzilla-like showdown, he opened the cooler to find not his stolen heart, but... something, something vaguely but freakishly off-putting to even the steely likes of Chev -- he reacts to the effect of "Why would you possibly carry this around with you?" -- and then, naturally, we never find out what the cooler holds.
So, as many had likewise...
