Grand Theft Parsons (2003)

Plot Summary:

There are times when it's right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times...

And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so extraordinary that if it didn't really happen, no one would believe it. Two men, a hearse, a dead rock star, five gallons of petrol, and a promise. And the most extraordinary chase of modern times.
