Delinquent Schoolgirls/Review

The story: Three mental patients, lead by the sex-starved Richard "Big Dick" Peters (Bob Minor of Coffy, The Swinging Cheerleaders and much more), escape from a mental asylum and sexually assault girls at a nearby private school.

Oh, and it's a comedy.

Over at the Oxford Corrective Institute for Young Women, the principal informs the girls that some of the worst-behaved girls won't be allowed to leave the campus for the weekend. Those who will be left behind include 70s pin-up model Roberta Pedon and exploitation film regular Colleen Brennan (Ilsa: Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks).

Before our escaped mental patients make it to the campus, we are treated to a prank the girls play on the principle for keeping them on campus: They do jumping jacks without bras on.

The movie might have explained how this was supposed to annoy the principal, but I wasn't paying attention. To the dialogue.

Also before our escape mental patients make it to the campus, they run across Earl (George 'Buck' Flower of They Live). He has performance issues, which has led his wife to become frustrated. Richard "Big Dick" Peters fixes that problem while Earl cries in the other room.

Did I mention this was a comedy?

A rapey home invasion will leave anyone a bit peckish so the boys make their way to the nearby school's kitchen. And here, finally, they will cross paths with the delinquent schoolgirls.

When the schoolgirls aren't being hypnotized and undressed by their biology professor, you can find them swimming in white swimsuits, doing karate, making out with each other topless, or even mud wrestling.

Can you say in your heart of hearts that you want more than that? In one movie?

I can! Especially considering the top-heavy cast, there could have been a shower scene. But that's just me being gluttonous, I suppose.

Overall this film is in the worst of tastes. It's sleazy, plays on terrible stereotypes, features completely pointless and gratuitous nudity, and it manages to be and do all of these things while being unserious and fun. Obviously I love it.

The film works because, despite all of the events that could have been nasty, there is no meanness to be found here. Everything is played innocently, played for laughs.

Granted these aren't the kinds of laughs modern audiences seem to like, but so much the worse for modern audiences.
