70s Update of a 60s Beach Party
6 April 2024
Mischievous, fun-loving California adolescent hormones are in high gear in "The Pom Pom Girls" (1976) as well as in all those Annette and Frankie beach romps. Alterations here include gratuitous topless cheerleaders and bare bottomed football players having simulated mating in a van. Black-haired, straight-laced Annette and clean-cut Frankie, who never ventured beyond hand-holding and chaste kisses, are replaced by black-haired, crooked-laced Jennifer Ashley and raggedy-clothed Robert Carradine.

The pranks include spray-painting car windows of a rival team, staging a fire truck heist, running the sheriff off the road, and just generally irritating authority figures. The guys imbibe a lot of beer, wolf down burgers and fires, and challenge each other to a drag race.
