Polyvinyl Film's production of Final Rinse, is the first feature film by New York film Writer/Director Robert Tucker. Dubbed the "On the Town of rock-and-roll/comedy/cop-thrillers," Final Rinse is part Spinal Tap, part Silence of the Lambs, and all farce. With a script penned by Tucker and Arthur Schurr, Final Rinse turns the comedy, hard rock and murder mystery genres on their heads and then gives them a haircut.

The story trails overly hard-boiled Detective MAX BLOCK (Terence Goodman) in his pursuit of crazed, serial-killer TROJAN (David Cale ). Targeting big-haired rockers, Trojan stalks, murders, then coifs each victim in a unique and personal hairdo chosen especially for them.

Battling "the system", media pressure, and LSD flash-backs from a repressed hippie past, Block hunts Trojan through a rock-and-roll potpourri of pop culture references, violent confrontations, and serious hair. Block and his partner JOE TACKLE (Michael Hannon) immerse themselves in the metal underground to trap Trojan in "his own scene". With help from heavy metal club owner SALLY ROGERS (Jennifer Regan), the detectives go undercover and underwig to get their hair man. When the roots of the conflict are finally bared, Block learns that cop and killer share a past that leads to a very split end.

Peppered throughout Final Rinse are appearances by pop icons Joey Ramone (The Ramones) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row). Also lending their talents to the film are musical acts The Last Hard Men, with Bach, Kelly Deal (The Breeders) and Jimmy Flemion (The Frogs), Biohazard, The Dictators, Slaughter, Mars Needs Women, and The Independents.

Produced by Dan Reardon and lensed by Mark Putnam, Final Rinse also features performances by Frank Gorshin (Batman, Star Trek, That Darn Cat), New York legend Uncle Floyd (Good Morning Viet Nam, The Uncle Floyd Show), and VH1 VJ John Fugelsang (America's Funniest Home Videos).

With homage to John Woo, John Waters and Jack Webb, Final Rinse tackles some of the most profound, yet humorous, socio-existential dilemmas mankind faces today and puts them in a rock-and-roll hair movie. Simply, Final Rinse is a cut above the wealth of rock-and-roll comedy cop-thrillers.
