The Devil Dared Me To
Comedy from the demented souls behind TV's Back Of The Y Masterpiece Television. Young Randy yearns to be NZ's greatest living stuntman, much to the chagrin of his aunt and uncle who understand that the petrol running in Randy's veins is bound to ignite one day. Can the love of a one-legged female Evil Knieval save Randy and break his descendants' long legacy of fiery and fatal confrontations with the grim reaper?
