“There might not be a basement in the Alamo, but there is an Alamo in the basement,” says Alamo Drafthouse founder and executive chairman Tim League. “We’re thrilled to have Pee-Wee’s bike on permanent display appropriately at our only subterranean cinema.”
PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, starring Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman, premiered in theaters on August 9th, 1985, and quickly became a cult classic. Directed by Tim Burton and co-written by Reubens and Phil Hartman, the film centers on Pee-Wee’s modified Schwinn cruiser, which is stolen and sets our hero on a journey from the Alamo in Texas to the Cabazon Dinosaurs in California and finally to Hollywood. Likewise, the Alamo Drafthouse’s Pee-Wee bike replica will make a cross-country journey before coming home.
From July 14th - 18th, the bike will be on display at Alamo Drafthouse Downtown Los Angeles, not far from where it was crafted by Hollywood prop maker Ray Galluccio, in conjunction with screenings each day. It will make its cross-country journey to New York City for screenings in Staten Island on August 5th, Brooklyn on August 7th, and the big homecoming event in Lower Manhattan on August 9th.
