Revenge of the Cheerleaders

This is a bad movie, but has some redeeming qualities. More specifically, the movie is intentionally hilarious and stupid. This is in stark contrast to another hilarious B Movie (Cool as Ice-aka the infamous Vanilla Ice Movie)that tries to take itself seriously.

In addition, we have young David Hasselhof playing a High School jock named "Boner" who acts like an idiot. All you have to do is watch him try to dance to see what I mean.

To top it off, you have high school cheerleaders (probably played by adults in their 20's-30's :) ) who fool around with a bunch of dudes and plant illegal substances in the cafeteria food to get all of the teachers and their fellow students high.

Oh yeah, I guess there's somewhat of a plot. A land developer is in cohorts with a sleazy school board official. They want to close the school where Boner and the cheerleaders attend (Aloha??) so that the developer can build a mall or something that will make them both rich. The corrupt school board member rigs a school inspection/audit to ensure that the school fails. While Boner is being a "boner", the cheerleaders attempt to make sure that doesn't happen.

However, I apologize in advance for discussing actual plot in a B movie where there are promiscuous cheerleaders and a young David Hasselhoff acting like a fool.

Gimme a C! Gimme an R! Gimme an A! Gimme a P! This toilet fodder of a movie seems to have been David Hasselhoff's first. He has a nude scene. I'd really like to drag this out on him someday, and see what he has to say. This film featured nudity, terrible performances, a worthless script, and inane, badly choreographed dance sequences. I think I'd rather watch Barney. Why is it I'm wasting my time reviewing this movie anyway?? Man, I am morbidly bored.

I found this title in the horror movie section of the video store. It did not have a cover, so I just expected it to be some campy horror movie with cheerleaders taking their anger out on random people. Instead I got a very bizarre film that tried to pack as much random nudity into it as humanly possible. There wasn't exaclty a script, and the plot was kind of confusing- but it made up for it in the sheer stupidity of the movie. You have to wonder what the film makers were thinking. The first half of the movie consisted of the cheerleaders running around (completely naked!) and then turned into some bizarre chase plot about trying to save a school from the "evil" commercial developers. OOOOOOH! And what was with all the messed-up dance sequences- all they did was fill time and they were REALLY bad. Also, at least on the copy I rented, after the credits was an ad for a porno video series- complete with footage from the movies!- Rent this movie for what it is - a bizarre porn. Do NOT rent it expecting any more.

'Revenge' isn't really a sequel to "The Swinging Cheerleaders," as I was hoping. This is a silly movie without any focus. It feels like the story was made up as they went along, until it becomes little more than a series of vignettes that rely on silliness and "dirty jokes." It is obvious this one had a different director than that other movie, as the style and feel is completely different. Of course you don't expect Shakespeare while watching a movie like this, but the previous movie actually had some kind of plot, and didn't rely on nudity and sex scenes alone. I originally sought out the series because Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith is in all three movies. But in this movie she is mostly in the background, mainly due to the fact that she was noticeably pregnant during the filming. For some reason i found that a bit depressing, especially during the scenes where she is smoking. I guess they just put her in this movie as a way to connect it to the other films. I just found the humor to be a bit too silly, and without ANY kind of dramatic arc, it became a chore to sit through. "The Swinging Cheerleaders" is the most well- made and well-scripted of the series by far. This one had a few sexy and funny scenes, like the one in the ice cream parlor, but it just didn't capture my interest. However it was really nice to see Cheryl with her baby at the end of the movie, so it might be worth a look for Cheryl Smith fans, of which I'm sure there are many.

Bizarre doesn't begin to describe this hellaciously bad movie. A curio of it's time, today the film offers almost no entertainment value except as a method of torture to future international celebrity Hasselhoff. Plot, such as it is, concerns a gang of sleazy cheerleaders trying to interfere with school business. This film does not take place in any world that viewers will be familiar with. Aside from the expected older actors playing teens, the story and script are so completely unbelievable that this is nothing more than a reason to show some crude drug jokes and display some supple young flesh. For these reasons alone it will appeal to certain "midnight movie" fans. Cheap is the word that comes to mind in every aspect of the movie. A hefty, blonde-wigged nurse (portrayed by an actress who's had a few bit parts in legitimate films) tries to inject some campy laughs into the mess, but fails. This atrocity was unearthed from certain obscurity when supporting player Hasselhoff hit it big on "Night Rider" and "Baywatch". And why? Because midway through the film, his character is shown in a group shower and for a few frames David, jr. makes an appearance. This is not going to turn many people on since the Hasselhoff from this film is light years away from the tan, built TV star they are all familiar with now. Still, it is amazing to note that in 1970's drive-in-style comedies, female AND male nudity was trotted out in surprisingly large doses while now the human body is all but shut away while viewers are asked to watch explosions, gunplay, knives plunging into people and other malicious acts. Sex, however, is considered taboo! (Which is why a movie like "American Pie" can come along and break records....it returns to a sort of innocent piece of sexual trash like this movie was in it's day...although "Revenge..." is definitely way down on the totem pole!) Another striking thing is the bodies themselves. People weren't as bent on physical perfection and surgically enhanced looks. The girls are naturally presented (one even has hilarious tan lines!) and the guys are just lean, pale "dudes". The movie has curiosity value, but only a VERY patient person will make it through the whole thing unless they were alive during that time. Bad....
