FAQ

A group of three young men, Rien, Hans, and Eef, hang around motocross races as often as they can. Rien is a very skilled rider who just might go somewhere, Hans fancies himself to be like Rien, and Eef is a mechanic who works on the bikes of both.

During the course of the film, all three have experiences that send them on very different paths than what they imagined for themselves at the beginning of the story.

If that is the only reason you want to see the film, do not waste the effort. Their appearances are glorified cameos.

Both are low points in the national phases of Paul's career, artistically speaking. Whilst your mileage might vary, this particular idiot fan's verdict is that Showgirls is a far worse film. Both have pretty threadbare stories and horrifying elements, but Spetters has far more likeable characters.
