The Lone Rangers have heavy-metal dreams and a single demo tape they can't get anyone to play. The solution: Hijack an FM rock radio station and hold the deejays hostage until they agree to broadcast the band's tape.
Acting
Buscemi's unhinged desperation is a masterclass in comic frustration.
Writing
Screenplay by Rich Wilkes—yes, the XXX guy—somehow works?
Practical Effects
The actual radio station energy: sweaty, cramped, authentically gross.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during the death throes of hair metal and rise of grunge, making the Lone Rangers already nostalgic casualties.
Chris Farley's 'Officer Wilson' was originally a smaller role that kept expanding because, well, it's Chris Farley.
