An excellent follow-up to Dogtown and Z-Boys

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2006)

A great movie. Appreciated by even the people the movie is about, as evidenced by the fact that they were all in it. Everybody from Tony Alva to Skip Engblom has a part in this movie. The detail gone into was incredible, some of the Z-Boys are quoted as saying that walking onto the sets was like stepping back in time. The acting was good, and the skating was spectacular. Written in part by Stacy Peralta, the same filmmaker responsible for Dogtown and Z-Boys, this movie is historically accurate, wildly entertaining, and is incredible in the way that it seems to never get old. It's one of the few movies I can watch even though I've seen it fifty times. It gets the strongest recommendation I can offer, although I do suggest watching Dogtown and Z-Boys first. There's a lot of overlap in the movies, and knowing what you learn from Dogtown and Z-Boys makes Lords of Dogtown that much better.
