Simply A Masterpiece

Just perfect...

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Okay, this is my third consecutive review of a cheerleaders movie after The Cheerleaders and The Swinging Cheerleaders. We're back in high school for this one. Two of the writers of The Cheerleaders-Ace Baandage and Richard Lerner who also directed this one-are involved and they provide some pretty sexy scenes and also some good dance sequences. But the rest of the movie is pointless with a plot of a possible merger with another school and many unfunny scenes of a drug-infused lunch and a chase at the end. Carl Ballantine is pretty funny in his brief scenes and it's interesting seeing David Hasselhoff at the beginning of his career. And seeing a pregnant Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith-who previously was in The Swinging Cheerleaders-and her actual baby at the end was also nice to see. Too bad about her tragic end. Really, though, except for the sex and dance scenes, I don't really recommend Revenge of the Cheerleaders except for what I cited...

Set somewhere in California, "Aloha High School" is undergoing a crisis. Not only is the administration and faculty completely incompetent but a greedy land developer named "Walter Hartlander" (William Bramley) wants to bulldoze the school for a real estate project which will increase his fortunes. Not helping matters are the cheerleaders who are essentially running wild without any shame or decency. As a result their conduct is playing right into the land developer's hands and when they discover that they may be forced to merge with a rival school by the name of "Lincoln Vocational" they use everything at their disposal to stop it. So much for the plot. Now, although this film is billed as a comedy I really didn't see much humor in it. Instead, what this film has to offer is plenty of nudity and some scenes which surprisingly flow together rather smoothly. As far as the cheerleaders were concerned, they were more slutty than sexy and other than possibly the Oriental named "Tishi" (Susie Elene) and the cute blonde by the name of "Sesame" (Patrice Rohmer) I didn't see anyone remotely worth mentioning. Certainly the addition of a pregnant cheerleader named "Heather" (Rainbeaux Smith) didn't add anything worthwhile in any way. Be that as it may, as I stated earlier there wasn't much humor in this movie and considering the low-grade eroticism presented in this "sexploitation" film I rate it as below average.

"Revenge of the Cheerleaders" is another nudie flick from the late 70's. As with most of these movies, the plot is paper thin, but no one seems to really care anyway. There's the good cheerleaders (who get naked and have sex a lot), the evil school board head, the fat obnoxious school nurse, and idiot athletes who are only interested in scoring on and off the court.The film centers around a group of promiscuous cheerleaders at a high school that seems to be in California but is called Aloha high school (I don't know, I didn't write the script). These little ladies have a good time with the basketball team and seem to only care about partying. Their care free days are cut short when the evil school board head decides to shut down their school so he and his business partner can buy it cheap and put up a shopping mall. This is basically what is going on. I could tell you about the drug induced school inspection, basketball games, and other "hilarity" that is in this film, but it's really not worth it. Everything is pretty standard.Look out for a young David Hasselhoff playing Boner(I would make some cracks here, but Hasselhoff seems to make himself into a joke better than I can) and a lot of nude girls. The only reason I gave this a higher rating than some of the other films is that it seems to make fun of itself and not really care that it is doing so.

This deserves "cult classic" status and, judging from IMDb's previous reviewers' t(h)rashings, it is poised for a most cult-ish fate. You will indeed be disappointed if you take it more seriously than its principals did. It is camp -- at Kilimanjaro levels. That the wanton energy invested in these frames was unleashed for filmed capture only during the 1970s seems clear, alas, from the sad spectacle that contemporary reviewers seem to miss it entirely. It was fun to be alive then, take my word...The unlikely hero is a stiff who is cut squarely, so to speak, from the then-Governor Reagan mold. All cinematic stereotypes were piquant: the dance scene at the soda shop was as honestly hot as the cafeteria food fight was actually nuts -- they acted like they weren't acting. There is indeed gratuitous nudity, but only of the most nubile variety [Betty Page, move over for Helen Lang]. The aide to the Evil Developer was a perfect cross between Bob Eubanks and Garner Ted Armstrong. And the presence of transcendental nutcase Carl Ballantine was just the right bubble gum icing on this tutti frutti cake. It Rocks 'n' Rules.
