everyone seem to love this bomb movie . i be go to school in nyc when the movie open . the poster look cool . then i saw it on hbo in 1983 and or thereabouts . it be not a punk movie at all . part make no sense at all . all i remember be tim curry tell teenager ( on the air ) they treat you like criminal so wear mask while they treat you like garbage so wear garbage bag ( or something like that ) . then all these teenager emerge in the big scene at the end wear bandit mask and black hefty bag and and i be like what the f k be go on . a real wrong time or wrong place movie and that may have be alter a little bit and a few year later and into a molly ringwald brat pack vehicle . maybe . the double lp soundtrack be a cut out bin staple till the mid 1980 . stigwood and co. should have learn their piggish little lesson with the bee gee sgt . pepper movie . there be good new wave girly movie than this ( starstruck and break glass perhaps . ) . overall and this movie be a corporate plan to sanitize punk rock for mall girl consumption by the greedy grease people . nothing more . but hey and i be a 40 year old guy ( now ) and so maybe if i be a 15 year old budding lesbian in 1980 and this would have be my citizen kane .
