Bumping this topic, because my prayers have been answered and Backyard Dogs has finally come to Netflix Instant!! I recommend stopping anything you're doing and watching this ASAP.

So, I'm an independent pro wrestler in southern California, and in the early days of my training, a man by the name of Robert Boris got in touch with the school that I was attending with two big projects he wanted desperately to bring to fruition: An instructional video on the basics of pro wrestling called Slam School, and this gem of a film, BACKYARD DOGS. It stars Walter Emanuel Jones (the original Black Power Ranger) and a fellow named Scott Hamm as the best backyard wrestlers around (in the universe of this film, backyard wrestling is a direct conduit to the big leagues). On their path to stardom, they meet up with Bree Turner (of Deuce Bigalow and MTV's Undressed fame) and Roger Fan (Corky Romano), who turn their journey into an internet reality show and so much unintentional hilarity ensues. Along the way, Vince Van Patten and, somehow, legitimate Japanese wrestling star Hayabusa make appearances as well. For a time, this movie had the coveted #1 spot on IMDb's Bottom 100 list, but for some reason, it's not listed anymore. A shame, too, because its 1.8 rating would put it somewhere between the #21 and #33 spots, in such company as Hobgoblins and The Maize: The Movie. Here's the trailer, complete with not one, but TWO Kid Rock songs: I rented the DVD from a small-time video store chain right around when it came out, but unfortunately, this movie is *really* hard to come by these days. I can't find it anywhere online, and it's not on Netflix. Anyone wanna take a shot at finding it? It's absolutely worth it.
