American: The Bill Hicks Story - Official Trailer [HD]

[ericzum]

Amazing comedian and amazing documentary! Watch this on Netflix if you have it.

[MrCassavius]

As long as the US keeps producing people like Bill, who question everything and have the freedom to do it, then will remain a great country

[BSilva121]

I'm not sure this is the place to ask, but I've tried everywhere and nothing. I saw the movie and there's one track that appears in it and I just can't find the name or the author anywhere. It's the one that starts in the ending, right after the "The world is like a ride" part, when the credits start rolling. With the violins, the guitar, the bass and the drums. I just can't find it anywhere so i figured I could find some help here. Thanks anyway.

[ericzum]

@BSilva121 That's an amazing song and I was wondering the same thing myself. I poked around and can't seem to find out who it is either. Please let me know if you do.

[420ModernDayHippie]

Man this makes me wanna cry



[chibixaileen]

it was not his time to go. but he will continue to live and change lives !

[duckingforcover09]

The fucking apple logo in the corner? Yeah because thats what Bill Hicks would have wanted.

[JonGazsi]

i really think bill hicks could of really made an impact on the whole world if he was still alive, RIP

[ThrobnWood]

[yolandevdd]

One of the best comedians ever though not always right, seldom wrong. A sweet person.

[VikTheBrik]

Does anybody know the song at the second of the trailer?

[manofempire]

@VikTheBrik breath me by sia

[dansocha401]

Does anyone know the song played in the trailer?

[pitt034]

Of all the talking heads in the media who claim to be fighting for America, take back America, the only man who could've ever done that in the past 25 years, is Bill.

[omalley45211]

One of the greatest philosophers of our time. A man who tried to save America. A man cursed with vision. Bill Hicks...The Immortal.

[mygoodshitzzz]

anyone that knows bill hicks, he HATED marketing shit like this..............

[CrackThoseClaws]

I fucking love you, Bill.

[jim31589]

I love this trailer the music the stuff that gets said by Bill its soo good and when Kevin Booth his mate says its like he was from another planet and it really was it makes me sad too this trailer and makes me smile love Bill love Jim x

[chrisjackson1]

I can't wait to see this film...but an ad in the MIDDLE of the trailer? Fuck you for that. That is the exact OPPOSITE of what Bill stood for.

[jnnx]

@chrisjackson1 Tells you who's behind this movie, and that they are cashing in on Bill's legacy...

[CelestialWoodway]

I live in Houston where Bill grew up. Anyone who lives here and is intelligent has a similar attitude as Bill. When you grow up in a bullshit conservative city like Houston if you have half a brain you react like Bill did.

[rockyrigby]

Everything he's said, is just as relevant as it was back in the early 90's.

[AlanAnthonyDoyle]

Very Cool Film! 

[requiemmaBellesque]

I have watched it 4 times on netflix, they really did a great job on this film. R.I.P.

[charruz]

Thank God he was fearless enough to let these thoughts out into the world. He was ready to face opposition...and so because, he was used for His purpose... and continues to be so....a warrior of patriots ;)

[BlackDynomight]

Just watched this the other day thru netflix. Great tribute to one of the greatest comics of all time. Well put together and really captures what i think Bill was about. Nice to see his life from beginning to end. RIP Bill, we all miss ya.

[Pekeno201]

Bill Hicks and George Carlin. The best!

[yolandevdd]

Bill was one of the best comedians that ever lived, a critic and a true person. He died too young! His work survives. Bless you Bill.

[Holmer87]

I would love to hear him talking about this shitty world we´re in now! So unfair..

I hope you´re surfing on the lake of fire highfiving with satan while listening to some music with heart :)

Love from Sweden!!

[siddgaa]

Sweet just found torrent for this.

[jim31589]

it annoys me to the point that i wanna tear my hair out, that it gets four stars, cos its a 5 star film. dont your critics have a fucking clue! go back to bed critics. we ve figured it out.

[iamleothelioness]

i wish he was my dad : (

[2010VinnieR]

God bless you mate - I'm not even an American, and yet you managed to make me feel some of the patriotism!! Long will your memory and soul live on - you hit the nail on the head and really taught people :)

[milos080878]

Three names Bill Hicks,Lenny Bruce and George Carlin.These are trully Amrecians men.And yes,many don't know about them,but many will remember.i am one of them.

[2010VinnieR]

[sattanhellsing]

It is strange how all those humorist that speak the truth dies young. Wake up Americans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrinkSkateSleep]

Does anybody know where I can get this movie?

[ilikeurbowlb]

2 people are in marketing

[Karmathejedi1701]

i can't help but think about the marketing & advertising guys talking about this in the back office & thinking about how much money their going to make off of the "anti-marking" dollar ...... NO, that's not what he was Saying !!:!!

[MrGabrielered]

i wish this movie will arrive in Italy some day

[madams12f]

back in the late 80s early 90s we used to drop in Austin clubs when Bill was performing.....he was the real deal....a thinking man...spoke the truth and was relentless with it. visionary. still cant believe that we lost him so soon. we did n't know how lucky we were to have known him then.

[aboutdafunk]

Hicks was the fucking man!

[TheDestroyer9090]

I want to see this so bad

[lmcritch]

Oh he'll yes! I need this!

[Mokoshne]

why is jay leno's name so prominent 57 seconds in. cant put them in the same league at all.

[breeeegs]

He hated Jay Leno

[McDolphins13]

Hell yeah!

[rustshac72]

Fuckin Finally!!!!!

[jackdanielsryan]

Imagine how frustrating this world was for a man with the social insight of Bill Hicks...

[atkm2891]

Bill Hicks was a liberal when it was rebellious to be liberal. And I respect that. I think he would be very disappointed in what comedy and media has become thanks to liberal censorship if he still lived today. Nevertheless, he was one of the greatest comics ever..

[pitt034]

@atkm2891 He may have seemed like a liberal, but he was above all that liberal/conservative, democrat/republican bs. He was on the outside looking in, he saw both sides for what they were: worthless human beings. I bet he would bash on Obama as quickly as he would any one of the Republican candidates. He saw the government for what it was: a scam. He was too smart for those parties and ideologies. Putting him in one group or another would be wrong, and mean you've completely missed the message.

[mooniethecat]

Just watched this on my cable's pay-per-view. It was wonderful, I'm going to watch it again before my rental expires. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

[NiNj4xNUTZz]

Cookie Jar by Jack Johnson

[Bendertoo]

Damn, got shivers watching that ...

[StandupComedyCenter]

Can't wait to see this.

[MrChevymac]

god im sick of hearing about how no one listens to bill hick's blah blah blah speeches. he should of tried smiling abit more b4 he died an angry lonely man.

[murcuryvapor]

@MrChevymac Kill yourself.

[LTmumph]

Top man.

[liamMCR]

is this any different to the original release of american?

[adamtwilkins]

As long as his message isn't diluted, people are challenged, beliefs are questioned, and the world might, just might become a better place, I think Bill would support this movie. God I hope they don't smooth him out.

[Shastar1972]

Bill Hicks was what America needed, whether they liked it or not. His stories of dealing with ignorance and hate sadly still repeat to this day. I have had people ask me seriously, "What you readin' for?"

[xgeckomanx]

America misses you, Bill. They may not know it, but they do.

[wassonii]

It sucks that I can only like this once. Can't wait!

[MinneMaggot]

Looks pretty good. Never knew who he was before 2 ppl told me to see this...

[mjoseff]

I wonder what Bill would say about this. . .

[VillaFour]

Anybody have any clue what the song is that starts @0.52 secs in?
