Moviecut—Revenge of the Cheerleaders

I'm gonna jump right into this one because there's not much going on in REVENGE OF THE CHEERLEADERS to waste much breath on. This one involves a group of slutty  cheerleaders getting nekkid a decent amount and a barely-there plot about a developer that's trying to get the school shut-down in order to develop the land for a money-making project. There's also the requisite 'rivalry' between the main cheerleaders and those from another school, etc... There's a decent amount of nudity in this one and pretty much all of the female leads are more than f!ckable. There are a few semi-humorous scenes but nothing that I found to be hilarious by a long shot. I must applaud the casting agent for being very 'PC' for this era of film-as most ethnic groups are represented in our heroine's cheer-leading squad: black, white, Hispanic, Asian-even a pregnant one. Very forward-thinking I must say. David Hasselhoff in a supporting role as a gangly basketball player aptly named 'Boner' is another high-point. A bunch of goofy dance sequences round this one out. I see some people hold CHEERLEADERS in high-regard as a sexploit classic-I found it semi- amusing but mostly dull and uninspired. Might have been a lot better if I was really drunk...5/10

I stumbled onto this one via YouTube and read on IMDb that el grande QT selected it for a film festival. So I checked out a few fragments and just had to see it, pretty much immediately. And it turned out to be a lot of fun. And quite obviously I got to see where some of the inspiration for Death Proof came from. It's not actually a good film (of course, I'd almost say), but the swearing, the dancing, the sheer young female rebellion (in short skirts or less) of it is contagious. And then there's even The Hoff being silly, a giant play-dinosaur and lots of fantastic funky music. Some scenes should have been altogether deleted (the cooking principal for instance) and others could have been trimmed down considerably (e.g. the final basketball match and the drug induced lunch hell); with a runtime of some twenty minutes less it could have been much more fluent and vibrant I believe. Still, this is fun stuff. 6 out of 10.

I'm guessing that out of the Cheerleaders series, Revenge of the Cheerleaders would have to be considered the most deranged and wildly uneven of the bunch. It's a very good example of the "decade of decadence", the "celebration of excess" that was the 70s in all it's spirited glory. I have to admit that since the DVD age has led to such a renaissance in releasing obscure drive in fare, that I've become drawn to the exploitation genre, a fixture in a decade known for pushing the envelope as far a feasibly possible. Revenge of the Cheerleaders is a definite example of this. The rinky-dink plot which holds the shenanigans together concerns a developer's grand scheme to have Aloha High School shut down due to lewd conduct and bad supervision by an incapable staff, merging with their rivals, Lincoln. This plot is really all there is. You have the big basketball game, lunch room fight(..except this time, everyone participating are drugged out of their mind thanks to confiscated narcotics and liquor from a class of LIncoln students raided by two of Aloha's cheerleaders, using a fire extinguisher to hold them at bay!), bubble shower orgy(..you can't make this up!), and "rescue" finale where the cheerleaders must save their new principal kidnapped by the evil nurse of their school(..working with land developer who wishes to demolish the school to use the location for a mall). The film utilizes a dinosaur sculpture in California desert(..a landmark of sorts many will remember from Pee Wee's Big Adventure)and the historic Bronson Caves which, in the film, leads to the land developer's mall(..his office is located under a sand pit for a golf course which capsizes after the nurse fell into it's soggy quicksand portion!). Patrice Rohmer is who I will devote a special paragraph for the girl remains practically naked throughout the entire farce. She seems quite liberated and care-free about going around naked no matter who's in the room with her. She, along with fellow cheerleader Susie Elene, has sex with a boy scout they find jogging along a trail! She is always in the arms of a young, scrawny David Hasselhoff who has every right to be embarrassed about his involvement in this. The film often has the cheerleaders and basketball players breaking out in one pathetic(..but quite energetic and lively, despite the lack of talent or quality of choreography) boogie dance after another. They matter little to the plot and seem to exist out of the idea of those who wrote it just proclaiming within the script.."If all else fails, let's dance!" Cheryl Smith(..using her Rainbeaux moniker)doesn't really have a substantial role because she was(very)pregnant! She seems along for the ride due to her involvement in the previous Cheerleaders installment. She's still quite beautiful and photogenic, but is limited to what she can do along with her risqué colleagues. I thought the final moment in the film(..featuring a thinner Smith, holding her baby)was a wonderful idea. It just reminds me of the tragedy which would end her career and life. The decade of decadence had it's repercussions, an "epidemic of sin" regarding transmitted diseases took the lives of many after such a free-spirited, "everything goes" lifestyle left plenty of damage in it's wake. If you like your movies batty and manic, uninhibited and trashy, without a care in the world regarding content or conventional film-making, Revenge of the Cheerleaders just might be up your alley.

the only 2 reasons i can think of to see this movie is (1.) the scene where David Hasselhoff dances with the other cheerleaders and (2.) the scene where David goes into the girls room with another cheerleader and the school nurse walks in. Yes he has a * scene but its nothing big(literally....)

Oh God, this movie is so BAD !!! I'm just 20, I haven't known the 70's and I of course don't remember the 80's, but Geez when I watch such movies, I just can't stop wondering what is wrong with those people ????? So first, that movie has absolutely no scenario. It's just some random students who are just goofing around recklessly. They're not interested in school and the cheerleaders are the boss of the school actually… The way it's showed is totally far-fetched and unrealistic. And to make it worse, the second part of the movie unveils a crummy action movie with cheerleaders as heroes. COME ON !!!! I found out about that movie on here. I just searched for a cheerleader movie. I also found the GREAT "the cheerleaders" movie (1973) which is really good compared to that one. This "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" is a bizarre film but too bizarre. I found it very BORING. They're always singing, dancing, yelling, having fun… Gosh, you just wanna punch them in the face sometimes. It shows cheerleaders as brainless dummies. Then, it says "comedy". I never laughed. Wait, I laughed only once… it was when the cops arrested the two naked cheerleaders, asked the put their hands up on the car, and he started feeling them up as if he was searching for some weapons or something. That was funny. So this movie is supposed to be some mix of * and comedy but come on, I prefer the sex gags of "the cheerleaders" (1973). So seriously, I don't advise this movie to anyone. I don't understand most people positive comments. Maybe it's because I'm not trendy or something. I just think it's long, noisy, boring and pointless. Make yourself your own opinion !!!

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 * 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.

Just saw this at Quentin's Grindhouse Fest at the Beverly in L.A... Best Movie Ever!!! We haven't stopped giggling since we left the theater... this is one of those movies that's so awesomely bad it's good. It's a teen comedy, soft core *, musical and action-adventure extravaganza! This movie has it all: wacky high school hijinks, sexy cheerleaders who get naked at the drop of a hat, crooked developers out to destroy the school and full-on musical and dance numbers. Be on the lookout for David Hasselhoff in his best role ever: Boner! The whole movie was so insane, so wall to wall outrageous it almost blew our minds. Seriously, who needs drugs if a movie can get you this high? Truly, a cinematic milestone not to be missed!

I rented this on DVD because basically, it's a classic, crappy excuse to get women naked. Sometimes, I think that a mainstream movie is better than *, and although this does have its share of nudity, the non-existence of plot is so crazy that i don't know how anyone could stand to watch it from beginning to end. If this movie somehow brings back memories for you, then you might enjoy it, especially with the ex-cheerleader commentary. You've had about 30 years to learn that this movie is only worth the nudity (and it's not really even worth that). I feel sorry for the people who saw this movie when it originally came out. If you like to see 70s women naked, then this might be your thing. At least they could have tried to have a better plot!

I saw this film at about 3am with a cinema full of rabid "bad film junkies" during a movie marathon for a local trash film festival. It was the perfect thing at that time of the morning, but I cant imagine watching it at any other time of my waking life. Plot - awful. Acting - campy. Singing/dancing routines - appalling. I wouldn't even degrade the * industry by labeling it as such. This is 100% unadulterated crap, beyond anything that bears that stigma... I LOVED IT!!!! Apparently (we were told before it unspooled before our unsuspecting eyes) it is on high recommendation from Quinten Tarantino... I'll never look at David Hasselhoff the same!!!! :)
