Sadly Over-hyped

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I can't imagine this film being too popular with the politically correct brigade: not only does it feature wall-to-wall nudity from a bevy of big breasted bimbos masquerading as teenagers, gratuitous lesbianism, two friends forced to beat each other senseless, numerous gusset shots, and an outrageously camp homosexual, but it also has several 'comedic' scenes of rape that end with the victims having thoroughly enjoyed the experience—something that was (quite rightly) considered a big no-no by most sane film-makers, even in the 70s, and which would probably cause today's censors an instant aneurysm if such a thing were to appear in a contemporary comedy.Of course, it is precisely this depravity, outrageous attitude and sheer insensitivity that makes Delinquent Schoolgirls such a guilty pleasure for fans of cheap 70s exploitation and grind-house trash; it is SO wrong from start to finish that it actually it transcends bad taste, and proves to be hard to resist.Michael Pataki, Stephen Stucker and Bob Minor play Carl Clooney, Richard 'Big Dick' Peters, and Bruce Wilson, a trio of sexual deviants on the run from the state asylum. Carl, the leader of the gang, is a comedian and impressionist who cracks jokes and mimics voices even whilst abusing his victims; Dick is an ex-baseball player with an insatiable and uncontrollable appetite for women; and Bruce is a demented gay fashion designer. After seeking refuge at a farmhouse, where they help out a harassed farmer (George 'Buck' Flower) by taking care of his nymphomaniac wife, the threesome arrive at The Oxford Corrective Institute for Young Women to continue their rampage, before finally meeting their match at the hands (and feet) of several sexy karate students.Sleazy, puerile, and thoroughly insane, this is the kind of film that most 'regular' people would avoid like a dose of the clap, but which, for a certain kind of audience, is the kind of crazy filth that ticks all of the boxes. If you're one of the select few who appreciate such dubious fare (and I presume you are, since you're reading this), then make sure you check out this film, 'cos they sure don't make 'em like this any more.I rate Delinquent School Girls 7.5 out of 10 for its sheer offensiveness, a score which I would have rounded up to 8 if it hadn't been for Michael Pataki's incessant impressions, which I found irritating in the extreme.

Celebrity impressionist Carl C. Clooney (a marvelously manic Michael Pataki), hulking aggressive rapist Dick Peters (Bob Minor in peak lecherous form), and gay Bruce Wilson (the supremely wacky Stephen Stucker of "Airplane!" fame) are a trio of dangerous sexual deviates who escape from an asylum for the criminally insane. The demented threesome head towards an all-girls school for some depraved carnal fun. Director/co-writer Gregory Corarito loads this enjoyably nutty comedic romp with plenty of blithely lowbrow raunchy humor, doesn't skimp on the tasty female nudity, and elicits zesty performances from a game cast of familiar 70's exploitation cinema regulars. The ladies in particular are incredibly hot and appealing: radiant Irish redhead Sharon Kelly has a ball as feisty martial artist Greta, Jane Steele is absolutely adorable as the cute Betsy, Zoe Grant likewise impresses as foxy gym instructor Ms. Crowley, and legendary busty pin-up model Roberta Pedon almost steals the whole show as the luscious Carla. Popping up in cool supporting parts are the ubiquitous George "Buck" Flower as grubby, henpecked farmer Earl, John Alderman as uptight principal Dr. Baxter, and 70's trailer voice guy Ron Gans as a television newscaster. The tasteless jokes about rape are admittedly crude, but still quite hysterically funny all the same. Other sleazy highlights include a regrettably brief lesbian scene and a strenuous knock-down drag-out no-holds-barred catfight. The funky score by Randy Johnson and Fred Selden hits the groovy spot. Louis Horvath's rough, gritty, but fairly polished cinematography does the trick as well. A real gut-busting riot.

This is what movies with a hard R rating is all about and what other such like-minded drive-in type films aspire to and never quite reach. Great sleaze fest and great cast. I've taken one point off because there should have been more screen time given to Roberta Pedon and her great body! Although Sharon Kelly does appear in the movie too and she is also good but also underused in the film! And that scene with the rape of the two kitchen women is great but should've been extended a lot more than it was. The three escaped lunatics are wildly funny. The scene with the elderly teacher hypnotizing and then seducing the student should have also been lengthened a lot more. In fact, that scene alone seems to have a great deal of relevance to the things going on in our schools today all across the nation.

It's simply amazing how such a low budget production can rise to the platonic model for low brow greatness. The production knew how to pack every frame with a plethora of breast with all cup sizes represented, and continually lay on one sleazy scenario after another. The attention to detail is amazing. Several of the girls take a swim and the camera lovingly lears at the giant breast from an underwater POV. At one point the film cuts abruptly to a giant breast bouncing on a trampoline. This film is currently only available on an old Vestron Video VHS tape. It should be sought after, restored, and released on DVD.This ranks up there with the best works by Russ Meyer.
