SYNOPSIS: Description of the movie's "plot" goes here.
- "Wanna Run That By Me Again?"
A Twisted Communist Plot
The Commies are inducing America's wayward youth to vandalize their (the youth's) schools.
- Acting Appropriately Stupid
What Does "Shot a Cop" Mean in Your Kooky Youth Slang?
"We just shot a cop."
(In other words, we have no compunctions against killing.)
"That does it, then. I'm calling the police right now."
Bang!
(Sigh.)
- Crummiest Ending
Baby or Audience?
They recap the whole film and end with a baby crying.
- Worst Acting
I Would Rather Not Get My Jolleys, Thanks
Another scene in which Judge Clara (I. Stanford Jolley) sentences the perps. What range (negligible)! What expressions (wooden)! What glances off-camera (toward the script)! What a mess (totally)!
- Worst Picture
The Sentence: Life without the Possibility of Plot
Judge Clara passes sentence on his friends (very stiltedly and with many a look at the script). The verdict: Bad Parenting (and Bad Acting and Bad Writing and....)!
- Actors/Directors of Note
Actor Claim to Fame Jean Moorehead Barbara Weeks Arthur Millan I. Stanford Jolley Long-winded and boring
Director Claim to Fame William M. Morgan Edward D. Wood, Jr. Hailed as the WORST director of all time Anne O'Nymous
