    Heh. Thanks to the folks at "Something Weird Video" I'm happy to say this is part of my collection. Considering the wooden acting, choppy edits, and laughable dialogue credited to Edward D. Wood, Jr. writing the screenplay, I really enjoyed this. These girls might look sweet a...( read more)nd innocent, but don't let their faces fool you, as they're cold hearted criminals armed with guns and bullet-bras.

    It's an entertaining "spoiled, rich, tough-teenager" piece of...cinema. Ed Wood tries to cram as much in to fill a feature length film, so the end comes off as a bit preachy during the judge's closing comments. The final statement from Paula, the leader of the teenage gang, is priceless. Pour youself a stiff drink and enjoy this one.

    Not as bad as most of Ed Wood's films, but that sure isn't saying much. It is still a dreadfully bad film, with some of the worst acting ever. But Ed Wood's films are always worth tuning into, because they are so so bad.

    Script by Ed Wood. Hm. Think I'll pass.

    The best thing about this movie is the fact that it was written by Edward D. Wood, Jr. His absurd and (unintentionally) funny script really drives this ludicrous tale about a female gang.

    Written by Ed Wood, but directed by William Morgan - who might as well be Wood, given the great badness of the film. A gang of females rape men, terrorize others and have a ball, until they're caught. Typical '50s moralizing bookends a raunchy classic of bad films.
    Fans of Minist...( read more)ry keep an ear out for sampled dialogue.
