Storyline Our intrepid adolescent heroes wake up to find their beloved television stolen, and embark on an epic journey across America to recover it, and, who knows, maybe even score. On the way they encounter a murderous smuggler of a deadly virus and his treacherous wife, an FBI agent with a predilection for cavity searches, a couple of rather familiar looking ex-Motley Crue roadies, Mr. Van Dreesen singing "Lesbian Seagull", a little old lady and of course Mr. Anderson and his trailer. Can the Great Cornholio save the day? Uh-huh. Huh-huh.

Did You Know?
Trivia:
There's a line in the script that indicates that if 'Bill Clinton' lost his re-election campaign in 1996, there would be a change to the scene where Butt-head meets Chelsea Clinton. In the regular movie, she's folding clothes. But the scene was written so she could also be packing a suitcase instead with only a minor addition to the scene.
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes:
During the scene that takes place in Congress, the American flag is displayed vertically with the blue field to the right; it should be displayed to the left.
Quotes:
[in the trunk of Muddy's car, Butt-head finds a tire jack and begins pumping the handle]
Butt-head:
Hey, Beavis, check it out. I'm jacking off.
User Review
pretty funny
Rating:
Fans of the television show will probably die laughing, but some others may
enjoy it also. The film focuses on Beavis and Butt-Head as they go on a
cross country road trip to recover their stolen television, but unknowingly
fall deep into a plot involving the theft of a man-made biological weapon.
The cast of voices are a real treat, especially Robert Stack as an ATF
agent. Tune in if you're in the mood for a few laughs.
