Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976)

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a bad movie, but has some redeeming qualities. More specifically, the movie is intentionally hilarious and stupid. This is in stark contrast to another hilarious B Movie (Cool as Ice-aka the infamous Vanilla Ice Movie)that tries to take itself seriously. In addition, we have young David Hasselhof playing a High School jock named "Boner" who acts like an idiot. All you have to do is watch him try to dance to see what I mean.To top it off, you have high school cheerleaders (probably played by adults in their 20's-30's :) ) who fool around with a bunch of dudes and plant illegal substances in the cafeteria food to get all of the teachers and their fellow students high. Oh yeah, I guess there's somewhat of a plot. A land developer is in cohorts with a sleazy school board official. They want to close the school where Boner and the cheerleaders attend (Aloha??) so that the developer can build a mall or something that will make them both rich. The corrupt school board member rigs a school inspection/audit to ensure that the school fails. While Boner is being a "boner", the cheerleaders attempt to make sure that doesn't happen. However, I apologize in advance for discussing actual plot in a B movie where there are promiscuous cheerleaders and a young David Hasselhoff acting like a fool.

"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.

Not only was this the most enjoyable of the three CHEERLEADERS flicks (see also THE CHEERLEADERS and THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS), it was the wildest of all the drive-in California teen sex comedies of the '70s. In this full blast over-the-top world of high school social anarchy, even the idea of Rainbeaux Smith wearing a cheerleading uniform while in the advanced stages of pregnancy actually fits. Undoubtedly the closest to a porno reel without actually becoming one, although the encounter between two of the cheerleaders and a Boy Scout out in the woods looks like there was some actual sex taking place that was hidden only by the camera angle and some judicious editing. The idea of a bubble-bath orgy in the basketball players' shower is truly inspired. Also a nice comic cameo by "McHale's Navy" veteran Carl Ballantine. (God, why couldn't I get a principal like that when I was going to school?) Forget David Hasselhoff here; in this movie he's (thankfully) a non-entity. But dig those dance numbers! My wildest teenage fantasies put on celluloid, and while I was still a teenager yet! Truly surreal!

the only 2 reasons i can think of to see this movie is (1.) the scene where David Hasselhoff dances with the other cheerleaders and (2.) the scene where David goes into the girls room with another cheerleader and the school nurse walks in. Yes he has a nude scene but its nothing big(literally....)
