Raggargänget

My parents had a VHS of this. It was funny to see what people saw as a threat back then.

This total flop is probably the best-known Swedish turkey. It's Ragnar Frisk's (director of the Åsa-Nisse movies) scuba-diving into the world of 'hot -rod teenagers' (couldn't find a better translation, 'raggare' seems to be kind of a local Swedish concept), and if you've seen some Åsa-Nisse movies I guess you can imagine what this one is like. It's stuffed with hot-rod teenagers who talk like 50-year-olds, teens who get drunk on Coca Cola (I swear! They really do!), painfully bad acting, unnecessary and really bad song numbers and unintentional laughs. And of course a totally uncalled-for ("let's go bathing!") rear nudity scene. As if this wasn't enough, it's also Ernst-Hugo Järegård's movie debut! His threatening "Sssstick!" is classic. I COULD imagine a better way to start a long movie career. To cut it short; if you've ever wondered if there are any worse Swedish movies than the Åsa-Nisse ones, you don't need to wonder anymore. To quote some other review; these youths are misunderstood - by the director! This is great fun for a Bad Movie freak, like me.
