Revengeance is a 2016 American independent adult animated buddy cop crime biker action black comedy film directed by Bill Plympton and Jim Lujan. The film, which has a writing style similar to exploitation flicks and Quentin Tarantino films, tells the story of a low-rent bounty hunter named Rod Rosse, "The One-Man Posse," who becomes entangled in a web of danger when he takes on a job from an ex-biker/ex-wrestler turned U.S. Senator named "Deathface." Lujan wrote, composed, and voiced several characters in the film, while Plympton single-handedly animated the entire feature by pencil on paper.

Production

The development of Revengeance began as a collaboration between Bill Plympton and Jim Lujan after Plympton became a fan of Lujan’s independent animated shorts. The film is noted for its traditional production method; Plympton hand-drew every frame of the feature in pencil on paper, a technique that provides the animation with a signature "vibrating" or "shimmering" line quality.

Lujan wrote the screenplay and composed the film's soundtrack, which features a mix of 1970s funk, heavy biker rock, and ambient noir themes. The character of Rod Rosse and his specific tactical use of "Nightie Night" sedative drops were established in Lujan's 2011 original short film, Rod Rosse The One Man Posse.

The project was partially funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, which helped support the coloring and post-production phases of the film.
