“This movie was made six or eight years too soon. 1976 was the year that the micro-computer revolution was just getting into swing and it would be a few years before IBM would make Bill Gates a billionaire. So nobody paid much attention to this film. But, it had so much more to offer than the u0026quot;light-heartedu0026quot; Revenge of the Nerds films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe open with a (they didnu0026#39;t have skin heads then) group of Nazi like blonde haired bullies terrorizing the lessor students into u0026quot;politically correctu0026quot; thinking ala the burgeoning u0026quot;family valuesu0026quot; u0026lt;insert twisted cross hereu0026gt; movement. A new kid comes to school and although he has an u0026quot;inu0026quot; with the rulers of the hallways, their brutality offends him and he sides with the under dogs. Even using his own physical superiority at fighting to humiliate the gang–and worse steal their women. His friend in the gang is sympathetic, but tries to convince him to join up or get his comeuppance. Our hero gets his comeuppance in spades and now he really gets mad and turns to murder!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter the u0026quot;Nazisu0026quot; are eliminated one by one, a power vacuum ensues where there is a mad dash to fill it. We then realize that there is always going to be predator and prey and it just a matter of who is the strongest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is the perfect allegory of High School Life–and Life in general. This is an unheralded masterpiece! It only suffered in production values, which were less than perfect.”
