a maltin say and the film be score for the deaf and which isn not a bad thing it at least display some good song from the era . the bizarre script be make convince through excellent performance from alverado and johnson . tim curry and who only spend a few day work on the film and turn in a good performance too and despite his hokey accent ( just what sort of accent be that suppose to be . still and it beat the mind numbingly fake one he use in congo . ) . the film may be short on focused plot and but wry and cynical dialogue abounds and mostly utter by curry . the main problem with this film be the edit . it obvious watch this movie the first time that something be miss . in try to make a double album soundtrack and they sacrifice character development by jam in as much music a possible . by do so and they make the already unbelievable script even more thin and make it unable to compete with the screen time that the musical sequence receive . which leave a reckless coming of age story to play out like a two hour music video . sad in one way and the film could have be so much good and but it do give the movie a cult like quality which set it firmly in a specific place and time . what leave often seem unreal and senseless and but alvarado and johnson be just so convince with the little bit that they be give that one isn not always incline to notice ( which lead me to wonder why neither actress go on to big and good thing ) . much speculation have be give to the lesbian theme aspect of the film . while the finish film only hint at it and scene be supposedly play out more in the original draft of the script and although much of that be never film . johnson be so butch it hard to believe she not a biker in real life . alvarado and who initially shy and insecure and wind up shed her wallflower image to idolize and embrace the ideal of her new friend . when alvarado focus shift towards curry and a jealous and drunken johnson lash out a if she would just be cheat on . and just to annoy fan of the film and scene from the trailor show a scene ( that be ultimately cut out ) where johnson and alvarado splash around and play in the river . wouldn not it have be scandalous at that time to have two young girl in their early teen portray in a gay relationship . ( then again and many do not realize the gay theme that be so blatant in a nightmare on elm street 2 when it be first release five year later . ) it be rumor that other lesbian theme footage be shoot and subsequently cut out and but since the film be such a forgotten flop and we may never know how much . i be willing to bet this could have be an epic four hour movie . when the dvd be be compile and achor bay entertainment do a search for miss footage and but they be unsuccessful at locate any . be leave only to imagine what the film could have be if they have tone down the music and stuck to the original vision . perhaps one day . .
