Total Badass is a 2010 documentary by American director and producer Bob Ray that first premiered on May 19, 2010.
[3] Bob Ray takes you on an outrageous and hilariously seedy adventure into the Austin underground music and arts scene via wild man-about-town, social deviant, musical/stunt performer, sex fanatic, Guinea pig enthusiast, writer-publisher, father, weed dealing felon, hip-hop impresario, trashcan jumper and local beloved weirdo Chad Holt.
Exploiting life as his unwitting canvas, Chad's take-no-prisoners artistry assaults funny bones, political correctness, and common decency as he strives to leave a creative imprint on the planet.
Strap in for the riotous ride and follow this icon of the Austin counterculture as he blazes through his final year of felony probation, living his own brand of civil disobedience while manning the helm of a life-altering family crisis and going out smokin!
Despite many scenes of explicit behavior by its subject, it is considered an admirable movie of "life on the artistic and social fringe, and a thriller.
