It's also fun to hook up two TVs with DVD players side-by-side, starting the discs at the same time. That's what I call "Visual Stereo!" Just joking. LOL

My copy came today - I scanned through it quickly to make note of the chapter/scene index so I could do a copy on my word processor.
The preview for American High School looked funny however bad reviews on iMDB.
Is it all that bad?

I love this movie, but I have to echo what the reviewer said. I'd be real careful blind buying this movie. I'd say at least 85% of the reason I like it and am buying this movie is out of sheer nostalgia. I guess it's not a big deal for 10 bucks, but unless you have a real fondness for super cheesy early 80's comedies, I'd try my best to rent first.

Just read this on the IMDB message boards, posted by David Knell, who plays Nelson in the movie...
Hey everybody,
David Knell, here. I played Nelson Dalby in Spring Break. No, really.
And since the folks and Anchor Bay and whoever is involved with the DVD release spared every possible expense in putting this DVD release together (meaning there are really no bonus features), I have taken it upon myself to rectify the situation.
Tomorrow, Perry Lang (who played Adam, in the flick) and I will be recording the completely unofficial Spring Break "bootleg commentary."
We'll make it available on Rifftrax before the official release date (August 18th)
If you've seen the movie a dozen times and have a burning question about the production, the people, etc. Leave a comment, and we'll try to answer it.
I'll post details on the Rifftrax release as soon as possible.
If we like your question, we may send you one of those cool wrist-bands!
Still hasn't been posted as of yet, but I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Cool that they're doing this bootleg commentary. I hope they get a good response.

Rifftrax could be on to something here. There's so many titles--especially these low-budget drive-in goodies--that deserved commentaries but never got them. Rifftrax might be a handy repository for "bootlegs" like this one.

I so glad this is on DVD .. this was an great movie .. maybe exagerated a little for "Hollywood" .. but this is how Spring Break was back then .. I was in Lauderdale in '84 and this is how it was .. everyone just wanted to get drunk and laid .. Penrod's, The Button, Elbo Room .. dude, I lived it - and it was awesome!

Anchor Bay and teen comedies! Awesome news. Can't believe I picked up Hardbodies, H.O.T.S. and Screwballs today and forgot this classic ......

Got this in my email today:
According to the website, David Knell, Perry Lang, Steve Bassett, Jayne Modean and Jeff Garlin contributed to the track, and I may or may not be getting a chance to add it to my review.
Here's a couple of videos from David's site about it.

Hey Tyler,
David Knell, here. I played Nelson in Spring Break, which i just saw you reviewed for DVD talk
Cool. Thanks for that.
When I saw that the DVD for Spring Break was coming out, and there were no bonus features, I said "now that ain't right." So I tracked down a few of the cast members and we recorded the first ever totally unofficial original cast bootleg audio commentary track.
I'm actually selling it on my website at
http://davidknell.com/springbreak
Later this week it will be available on Rifftracks, as well.

I checked at a Best Buy store today. Sales ASSociate said he never heard of it and didn't bother to look in the computer. When I got home I checked out BB on-line and they want 24.98! BlueRay is cheaper - don't remember the price but I don't have BlueRay anyway.

I bought Screwballs at my local Best Buy on release day for 14.99. They had 3 copies of it at mine that day too.
