Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988)

Good movie but grossly overrated

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie has comedy that one must understand! The old man who is a janitor makes the movie! When the door was stuck he referred to it being "tighter than an Irish CUNT!" When he slams his finger and says "that will be bigger than a donkey's DICK tomorrow morning"! My family and I still laugh about this today!

Biker/thief Spider(Linnea Quigley, punked out, but still a babe), vulgar and disgruntled most of the film, has to reluctantly join forces with nerdy Calvin(Andras Jones)to outsmart a demon imp released from his bowling trophy prison(!)who is turning college kids into ghouls and victims.It all starts when three dweebs, the aforementioned Calvin(drunken thanks to his dorky dorm pals), porky Jimmie(Hal Havins of "Night of the Demons" fame, as obnoxious as ever), and Keith(John Stuart Wildman..I have a bone to pick with this particular nerd, more on this joker in a moment)caught peeping on two sorority hopefuls, Taffy(Brinke Stevens, at her most delicious)and Lisa(Michelle Bauer..at the height of her sexual powers;but shamefully underused)naked in the bathroom, getting cleaned up after their paddlings and whipped creaming. Babs Peterson(Robin Stille)is the head sister who, along with her pledge sisters Rhonda(Kathi O'Brecht)and Frankie(Carla Baron), force the girls hoping to join their sorority, and the geeks caught sneaking a peek, to steal a trophy from her father's bowling alley. Once inside, the gang release the imp accidentally unleashing carnage on them all. While Babs and her posse plan to spoil their victims' evenings, they have no idea what's ultimately in store for them. Before this unfortunate mistake, the group find Spider trying to break open an arcade game for the cash inside. Seduced by the imp's supposed good will at granting each individual a wish a piece, those who take up his seemingly good offer find themselves doomed. But, the imp uses it's powers to hold the group hostage inside with a type of electronic forcefield and can invade bodies with possession.Based on this silly premise, you must acknowledge that this film is completely tongue-in-cheek the entire way through. Anyone who ventures into a film titled, "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" ought to know what they are getting themselves into. Director David DeCoteau seems to be using natural light within the bowling alley because it's often hard to see what has happened to various victims. This film, like many a sex comedy/horror comedy trots out the clichéd characters, dumb girls naked and naive, nerds who, once confronted with the possibility of sex, freeze, sorority gals who like to mistreat their "inferior" subjects, and hogger practical joker who annoys everyone around him. It's all in good fun if you approach this film in the right frame of mind. Often the one-liners, many from Quigley, do fall flat, but there's enough true gags to keep one entertained..particularly those looking for a cheap laugh or two. I couldn't stop laughing a near-deaf Janitor Buck Flower, who for the first twenty or so minutes is locked in an equipment room, and later has a HILARIOUS conversation with Quigley regarding the imp and their terror within the bowling alley...misunderstanding what another is saying often works so well, especially when it's Buck Flower. But, even Buck, as funny as he is, can not top Brinke Stevens bathing soap from her naked flesh during her shower or Michelle Bauer hot and bothered ready to rave Keith. Oh, and on Keith..one thing that has always driven me bonkers about movies with nerds are those where they have this sexual dynamo, in lingerie no less, on top and ready to molest them, as they squirm trying to retreat! And, this guy has Bauer on top and wishes to get away from her..NUTS! Anyway, the film has Buck, a puppet demon with the voice of a bluesman, and two major-league honeys..what more can a guy ask for?! Oh, and to top it all off, you have one of the sorority girls turned into the Bride of Frankenstein(..the scene as she chases Quigley with an axe and surprises Buck with a knock at his door..not to mention his reaction..are gold)running around loose! What's not to love, right?

This is a totally fun cheezefest from the dude who brought us the much lamer CREEPAZOIDS. So some kids break into a bowling alley to steal a trophy as part of a sorority initiation. Unfortunately for them (and luckily for us) they accidentally a release a mischievous little imp and all hell breaks loose. The imp is hilarious! he's got a voice that sounds like a cross between Barry White and a pimp. Everything that comes out of his mouth is hella funny. Anyway enough of the plot, all you need to know is that this movie is way crucial to any 80's horror/b-movie lovers. it's got really cheesy special effects (we're talking TRICK OR TREAT territory here!), it delivers lots of laughs, and its got some nice nudity. Another major bonus is that its got scream queen Linea Quigley (you know the super hot naked punker slut from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) who is once again playing a hot rebellious punk babe. Unfortunately she doesn't get naked in this one but she's still rad. I think it's also got the fat pig punk rocker from NIGHT OF THE DEMONS. Anyway the only other thing missing is gore, otherwise it would have received a solid 10. Bottom line this is not to be missed!

This is a horrible movie,I mean really, it is just garbage, you want to toss your TV out the window watching this, and yet the person who edited this movie, is a genius of epic proportions. Who ever it is, knew just when you would have had enough and were about to leave, and just that moment, he would toss in come nudity, or sex, and you would be drawn back in. It never failed, we are talking perfect timing, just as you would go to turn it off, there was the nudity, so who ever he is, he has perfect timing, but for the rest of the movie, it is a total waste of time, and I amazed that someone backed this movie in the first place, avoid it at all costs,unless you want to go into editing, then learn from this modern day master of the craft.
