Pee-wee's Big Adventure

If there's one thing in this world Pee-wee Herman loves, it's his bike: a forties Schwinn cruiser, tricked out with some handlebar tassels, striped saddlebags, hypno-hubs, and a growling lion's head on the headset. Well, there's ditzy Dottie (Elizabeth Daily) as well, but Pee-wee's no tandem rider. When the beloved bike goes missing, Pee-wee hits the road, desperately searching for his wandering wheels. Tim Burton's first feature film has him lubricating the lugs with some eye-popping madness. Who can forget the P.W. dance to “Tequila” or the Wee lad in chaps for his Texas bull ride? Yikes bikes!
