Information/Write-up
Terminal City Ricochet is a 1990 film directed by Zale Dalen. The name was taken from a hockey team called the Terminal City Ricochets. The soundtrack (released by Alternative Tentacles) features many punk bands, largely from Vancouver, British Columbia including Nomeansno, Gerry Hannah (The Subhumans), I, Braineater, and D.O.A..
Starring Jello Biafra (of the Dead Kennedys), Terminal City Ricochet is a dystopian comedy critical of television and its collusion with government and consumerism. Terminal City Ricochet is well known in cult film circles, but it has only been shown at film festivals, and a few times on pay-TV. The DVD combo, (containing both the DVD of the film and a CD of the movie soundtrack) has been made available through the Alternative Tentacles Website. It was released in stores in October 2010.
