5.0 out of 5 stars So bad it's good Dec 16 2003
By Andre M.
Format:VHS Tape
This movie was typical of it's time. Crude, pre-PC Animal House copycat in the same vien as "Hollywood Knights," "Hometown USA," "Porky's," Ad nauseum. Racial slurs, weed smoking, Tom Poston as "Sargeant Sissum" (Don't ask, don't tell), and the punch bowl gag (loosely stolen from "Hollywood Knights"). Oh yeah, the ending sequnece is hilarious and check out Ron Liebman's atrocious pickup lines at the party scenes.

I recall that this film was so bad that even MAD MAGAZINE wanted their name taken off the film (no joke). Yes folks, this film is BAD, BAD, BAD! So much so, that like Plan 9/Grave Robbers From Outer Space, it's actually good in a quirky way.

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. There's not much more to say. The other reviews are dead on about this one. I just wish it was on dvd!

3.0 out of 5 stars Say it again........That's what I thought!
Ron Liebman and his character, Capt. Liceman, are the two funniest things about this movie. The weakest part: those [bad] voice overs spoken by the character Oliver. Read more

This is one of those obscure but hilarious movies from the 1980's that was only seen on late-night cable, or in very badly edited form on the USA Network, with "Student Bodies" or... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie rules!
It's great, I love it! This is a comedy classic that belongs on the top shelf with Animal House, Caddyshack, Airplane, Yellowbeard, Kentucky Fried Movie, Vacation, and Used Cars. Read more
