[ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264393/ Bar-B-Que Movie page] , Internet Movie Database. Retrieved on 2007-02-11] It is a spoof of 1974's "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", and stars American punk band Butthole Surfers. Featured Surfers include Gibby Haynes, Paul Leary, King Coffey, Teresa Nervosa, and Jeff Pinkus, as well as the band's dancer, Kathleen Lynch.

In the movie, a vacationing family (the father of which, Jerry, is played by actor John Hawkes, of later "Deadwood" fame) is waylaid by a communal group of cannibalistic misfits, played by the Butthole Surfers. The mother and Jerry are tricked into consuming hallucinogenic beverages, while their son, Jerry Jr., is murdered. A short time later, Jerry Jr.'s meat is served as dinner.

After eating, Jerry runs off to find his son, but instead finds the Butthole Surfers, who are doing a live performance of the song "Fast" (a.k.a. "Fart Song"). Though staged, the segment presents a fairly accurate reproduction of the band's then-legendary live concerts.Many see this penformace as better than the studio version.The movie also contains excerpts from a number of other Surfers songs,such as "Graveyard" and "Weber".
