Hamburger: The Motion Picture is a 1986 sex comedy film about college dropout Russell Proco, who finds himself distracted by women who want to have sex with him. Proco has been expelled from multiple schools because of his sexual interludes, but was given a large trust fund that remains frozen until he earns a college diploma. Having run out of schools, Proco enrolls in Busterburger University, a fast food chain’s franchisee training program where he can earn a diploma. High jinks ensue. Production began in 1985, and premiered in Los Angeles in January of the following year. Based on the premise alone, it’s not too surprising that the film received overwhelmingly negative reviews, but hey, the sex comedy was a big deal in the ’80s, spawning a whole genre of terrible movies aimed at an audience that is theoretically banned from attending R-rated movies.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
