Storyline

In Ruggsville, Texas, the police under the command of Sheriff John Quincy Wydell attack the house of the sadistic serial killers Firefly family (a.k.a. The Devil's Reject) and they arrest mother Firefly, but Otis B. Driftwood and Baby Firefly escape from the siege. Tiny is wandering nearby the house and also escapes. Otis and Baby call their patriarch, the mad clown Captain Spaulding and they schedule to reunite at an isolated motel in the desert. When Otis and Baby arrive, they kidnap two families of singers, using sadism and violence against the harmless persons. Meanwhile, Sheriff Wydell promises to capture and kill the runaways, seeking revenge for the death of his brother, the Deputy George Wydell. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Did You Know?

Trivia

The name Charlie Altamont was inspired by The Rolling Stones documentary Gimme Shelter - where a Hell's Angels member brutally stabbed a youth to death at Altamont Speedway in Northern California. In the film, Charlie Altamont "gives shelter" to the Firefly family. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Two of the officers storming the house at the beginning of the movie are firing M-16's, which fire a .223. The armor the Fireflies wore would likely not have provided sufficient protection at the ranges the officers fired from. See more »

Quotes

Baby: Woo hoo! I feel like we're all really getting to know each other now!

Crazy Credits

The DVD release is altered to include "In Memory of Matthew McGrory" at the
end of the film, just before the credits. The theatrical release did not
include this, as Matthew McGrory was still alive. See more »
