Trivia
When Johnnie spray paints the Hardin High cars actress Jennifer Ashley wears a Boy Scouts Of America shirt from the San Gabriel Valley Council. She wears the same shirt again in the film Les dents d'acier (1977).

Goofs
Jesse holds up a book and asks Laurie if they were asked to read it for tomorrow. The book is "Workbook for Gregg Shorthand for Colleges" (1973 edition) which seems an unlikely assignment for a high school male in the mid 1970s.

Quotes
Johnnie Chrystal: Hey, Duane! That crease, down the middle of your face - is that your asshole?

Alternate versions
There are two versions of the film: a full-screen R-rated version, and a letterboxed PG-rated version. In the PG-version, all female nudity has been removed; mainly in a scene with Jesse and a waitress in his van, and in the cheerleader's locker room.

Guaranteed to cheer you up.

After a long hot summer, it's back to school for the students of Rosedale High, where an impending football game against arch rivals Hardin leads to a series of high-spirited pranks carried out by Rosedale's star players Jesse and Johnnie (Michael Mullins and Robert Carradine) and members of the sexy cheer-leading squad, the feisty pom pom shakers including lovely brunette Laurie (Jennifer Ashley) and pretty blonde Sally (Lisa Reeves).

The Pom Pom Girls is a fairly typical slice of 70s teenage drive-in fodder, full of hot girls and hunky guys whose lives mainly revolve around their cars and who they're canoodling with in the back seat. It's clichéd and predictable stuff but achieves a certain lackadaisical charm thanks to an amiable cast and a suitably inconsequential approach to its plot—as the viewer, we have no idea where we're being taken, but we're still happy to go along for the ride.
