Rich Wilkes' major-studio debut
was as screenwriter of the 1994 film Airheads. The story revolves
around a group of loser musicians called The Lone Rangers who take
a radio station hostage to get their song played on the radio.
Airheads was directed by Michael Lehmann and distributed by 20th
Century Fox.This was followed by a co-writer credit (alongside
director James Melkonian) for the 1994 comedy The Stoned Age, set
in the stoner subculture of Southern California during the
1970s.
The same writing and directing
team then collaborated with The Jerky Boys to create the 1995
production The Jerky Boys: The Movie, featuring the eponymous
comedians (self-described as "low-lifes from Queens") as New York
City youths who get into trouble with the Mafia. Wilkes is credited
as the sole screenwriter for the 2002 action-adventure film XXX and
a "based on characters created by" credit as being as the creator
of the XXX franchise.
Wilkes co-wrote the Mötley Crüe
biopic The Dirt, based on the New York Times bestselling book by
Neil Strauss and Mötley Crüe. He has also appeared as himself in
several documentaries, including the 1998 production Independent's
Day, 2003's The Blockbuster Imperative and 2006's Punk Like
Me.
