H.G. Lewis Goreography

Juvenile delinquent pictures really had their heyday in the '50s, but that didn't dissuade Mr. Lewis from putting his spin on the genre. And his kids are MEAN. To them, it isn't a good party if there's a recognizable stick of furniture in the room after it's over. Keith Moon and Johnny Cash have left hotel suites in better shape than these punks. Only they don't LOOK like delinquents, in fact, they look more like members of the Young Republicans. Still, they wander the city engaging in random acts of willful and wanton destruction. They pick fights with little leaguers. One of them burns a poor lady's newspaper WHILE SHE'S READING IT!!! These cackling teenagers even steal a blind man's cane, for heaven's sake! Such reckless behavior can only go on for so long without someone getting hurt -- and tragically, they do.

Notables: One breast. Four corpses. Gratuitous rock band footage. Paint slinging. Pants splitting. Hand frying. Gratuitous police interrogation scene. Cream pie to the face. Bike bashing.

Quotables: Crusty old police chief has a problem on his hands, "These groups today, wandering around looking for trouble. Dropping out of school. Letting their hair grow! Joining some darn-fool movement. Getting into trouble somewheres along the way ... they're restless. They're looking for trouble! They're like a plague of rats!"

Time codes: Headlines chart the terror (25:43). These punks actually put a baby in the TRASH! (32:15). Lingering pan of Jeanne's raped and mutilated body (1:15:25). Recommended.
