This movie LOOKS great... but doesn't have a thought in its sad little head. Plot: a group of "social elites" (read: young Nazis) at a high school decide to weed out social undesirables... with terror and violence and, eventually, death.
The editor of the school paper - friends with the punks, ultimately refuses to be recruited - investigates and tries to stop the gang... with violence. But none of that makes a shred of difference - it's just an MTV music video expanded loosely into a film. Great tunes, great look... nothing else. Made by the same director as Cyborg. Avoid.
Roger Corman strikes again! This time a killer is attacking strippers... a cop goes undercover as a stripper to investigate... gets in too deep... eh, this writes itself. You can figure out the rest. It's predictable, but entertaining enough. The best part is cigar-laden Normal Fell as the strip club owner. He's highly amusing and surprisingly good as an actor in this role. Worth a view.
Loved this one! What a gem! Ad execs need, desperately, a new campaign for their beer client... they find three random guys who (inadvertently) stop a robbery in a bar. Loretta Swit, in the ONLY non-M*A*S*H role I've ever seen her in, is magnificent here. This is a parody almost as obvious as Spinal Tap. Extremely broad humor and quite funny throughout.
Early period David Alan Grier! Worth watching for that alone. "Whip out your Norbecker!"
