"This article is about the film. For the song of the same name, see Conspiracy of One."

Huck It is a film, released on DVD and VHS by The Offspring. It was created in the "Conspiracy of One" era, and is named after the bonus song on that album. The song itself is featured frequently in the film, alongside other Offspring songs, mainly from "Ixnay on the Hombre", "Americana", and "Conspiracy of One".

The film's main content is that of stunt or skate videos to a soundtrack from The Offspring. Live performances and interviews or videos of each member of the band are also included. Numerous scenes from the film are also available on The Offspring's official Youtube channel, [http://www.youtube.com/user/offspringtv offspringtv] .

Content Description

*"Intro" - The film opens with the instrumental section of "Pay the Man" over a time lapse of a hill and lake while the opening credits are displayed intermittently.

*"Meet Greg K" - "Special Delivery" plays over a stunt video of Greg Kriesel, the band's bassist, scaling an extremely high structure, and then jumping off. The video does not show him using a parachute and instead jokingly ends with an obvious dummy hitting the ground at high speed. This video is available on The Offspring's official Youtube channel, offspringtv. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93UuBY-33zA The Offspring - Meet Greg K] from offspringtv]

*The instrumental part of "Pay the Man" then resumes as Greg plays golf at his house. He hits one of the balls through his window, then proceeds to hit the hole with his club.

*"L.A.P.D." - A live performance of "L.A.P.D." (from "Ignition") follows, performed at Huntington Beach. Crude special effects are in use, such as covering band members' skin with skulls and bones. Near the end of the song, singer Dexter Holland forgets the words. This video is also available from The Offspring's Youtube channel.

*"Skateboard Huck It" - The titular song, "Huck It", then plays over various stunts. The first stunt shows Dexter on a bicycle, pulling then-drummer Ron Welty, who is on a skateboard. Kevin Wasserman (Noodles) and Greg are lying on the ground, a skateboard next to them. When Ron is close enough on the skateboard, he jumps to the other one and lands perfectly. From then on other skateboarders are shown skitching from a motorbike and then jumping over a large ramp. This is another video available on offspringtv.

*"Staring at the Sun" - Following this is a continuation of the Huntington Beach show. The band tease the crowd by playing "Kumbaya" while a morphing effect is used on each member of the band's head. The Offspring then launch into a performance of "Staring at the Sun". This video is another available on offspringtv.
