Director Joseph Ruben has made some pretty good movies like Dreamscape, The Stepfather, Sleeping With the Enemy and The Good Son. This Crown International Pictures movie was directed by him and written by Robert J. Rosenthal, who also wrote The Van and directed and wrote Zapped! And Malibu Beach.

Johnnie (Robert Carradine) is the hothead. He has a crush on Sally (Lisa Reeves) but he's dating a tough guy named Duane (Bill Adler). Jesse (Michael Mullins) is the ladykiller and he's all into Laurie (Jennifer Ashley). These teens end up hanging out, stealing fire engines, getting in chicken races and falling in and out of love.

It's not as sexual as you think. I mean, there's sex. But it's more about growing up. It's a hang out movie and so much of it doesn't go anywhere, like the coach who doesn't like Jesse. But look, Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith is in it and when I saw her name in the credits, I literally said a little prayer thanking whatever intelligent design created her.

For maniacs like me: There's a scene where Ashley wears a Boy Scouts Of America shirt from the San Gabriel Valley Council. She's wearing that same shirt again in Tintorera...Tiger Shark.
