My Thoughts:
I thought it was about time for another one out of that low budget 50 movie boxset Mortuary of Madness that I got for about $15. I already enjoyed enough of the few movies I watched so far to make the purchase worth the price... but am hoping there will be more in it to enjoy.

OK... I admit it. I got curios about this one from the title alone. Of course I went into this one expecting a big steaming pile of crap. Unfortunately that is exactly what I got this time. This movie... and I hate to even call it that... looked to be no more then a bunch of college buddies playing with an old VHS camcorder. The acting was pitiful... the effects was non-existent... and the video quality sucked. It looked like it came directly from an old VHS tape... with wavy lines and all.

At least I don't feel too cheated since this movie did come in such a large boxset and I already felt I got my money worth before I even got to this one. But if I bought this one by itself I would have been extremely disappointed as this one would rank right there with The Sorority and The Curse of Lizzie Borden. I could not in good faith even give this movie a half a star.

The Cheerleaders, a review by Jimmy

Title: The Cheerleaders (1973)

Genre: Comedy
Director: Paul Glickler (Hot Circuit)         
Rating: R
Length: 1h23
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: No Subtitles

Stars:
Stephanie Fondue
Denise Dillaway (Nightmare in Badham County)
Jovita Bush (Fox Style)
Brandy Woods
Kimberly Hyde (Candy Stripe Nurses)   

Plot:
Jeannie, a teenage girl attending Amorosa High, joins the school cheerleading squad as a means of finally attaining the success and social independence that was out of reach in the strict household her parents maintain. The liberated attitudes of her new friends becomes all the more evident when they come up with a plan to help the football team win the big game by having sex with everyone on the opposing team until they're too tired to even take the field.

This movie is an exemple that sometimes a VHS (in my case a DVD-R) can be better than a DVD, not that image or the sound are better (far for that). The problem with the DVD release by Anchor Bay some years ago is the widescreen image (yes, like everyone I prefer this image format), because of that a lot of information is lost (this is not a real widescreen movie). That's why I prefer my DVD-R even if the image and sound quality are awfull, I want to see the movie as it was really presented on screen.

Here we have a mature teen comedy like they were made in the seventies, it means that they were not affraid to show nudity. The story is simple Jeannie (Fondue) joins the cheerleaders squad, because she's always a virgin at 16 years old and she wants to change that. So it's not that different than some recent teen movies (like I always say they don't make anything original now).

One thing of interest is that the only other movie directed by Glickler before this is an adult movie (never see it, but it looks interesting). The girls are not really good actresses (Dillaway is the only exception) but that's not the reason why they were cast. Three of the cheerleaders are particullary beautifull (in my taste) : Fondue (a fake name, she was an adult model), Dillaway and Woods (she had no other credit, but I'm sure that I've seen her in something else). The only real actor in this is Patrick Wright and as usual he is good. There a lot of good moment : anything with Dillaway. The end is great (yes, Jeannie loose it).

A good and funny movie like they were able to make them in the seventies and to proove that something have change the movie is rated R even if they show a lot of complete female nudity and man back nudity. Now, if I could find the theme song I would be happy (this song is very good)
