I remember seeing this for the first time in one of those low budge indie theaters back in the mid 80s. Though parts were corny, it stuck with me, the main characters were something I could relate to. They were the kids in my neighborhood my friends. I can’t Wait to get it on dvd, far to few of my friends know of it when I bring it up in conversation and the few who do would love to see it again.

Awsome movie. My husband and I just watched it again a few weeks ago. We’ve been fans of it since the 80’s….

One of the best movies of all time! Remembered watching several times on tv as a kid finally got a VHS copy and got the DVD once released. Actually this is my number 1 movie of all time!

I keep reading on sites that this didn’t get a theatrical release, but that’s not true. I saw it in the theatre when it was first released (here in North Carolina). It was a short engagement that did poor business, but was riveting nonetheless. And the posters in the display case looked like the soundtrack album, not the weird sci-fi looking posters seen all over the web. Also, in the 70’s, cops and parents were often as cartoony in real life as this movie depicts them. I was a teen when I saw this in the theatre, and was amazed at how accurately the film captured my generation, which Hollywood had never done before.

I remember having a low quality bootleg of this movie for many years before it finally got an official DVD release. This is definitely a forgotten gem, even though it has had a huge influence on modern music and films. I would bet less than 5% of Americans have ever even heard of it, but those who have tend to love it, especially if they grew up in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

Superb movie. Matt Dillon steals the show in his pre-Rusty James role.
