Just watched this Drive-In Teen Sex Comedy on Hulu as linked from fancast.com. It has some amusing turns by veteran comic actors Huntz Hall, Joe E. Ross ("Oooh! Oooh?"), and Mike Mazurky. It has a serviceable song sung by Kirsten Baker (who I just found out was also in California Dreaming though I didn't recognize her from there). And it has plenty of T and A that makes ones hormones go crazy not to mention some double entendre remarks concerning the pump from a couple of the girls that are worth a few chuckles. But most of the material here is just lame and the last dramatic sequence where Ms. Baker cries is just painful to watch. Still, if you're curious enough, Gas Pump Girls is worth a look. P.S. I noticed one of the motorcycle gang as Ken Lerner who I remember as Principal Doug Flutie on the first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". And that Hall's gas station is Chevron with the "C" and "r" removed and one red bent stripe only.

Needed twice as much nudity, no three times as much, and the musical number could have been omitted. In conclusion, Cousin Brucie is a loser and so is this. The playmate, Michael Myers sister from Halloween, she's hot.

When I saw that this was filmed in Sacramento, where I live, I went to the actual location (which is easy to find since the street signs are visible in the movie) and saw the old run-down place is STILL standing, it is now a CA Recycling Center. The big station across the street was torn down and paved over though! I need to find the soundtrack album now, the disco music in this is great!
... View MoreHow could any nut forget GAS PUMP GIRLS? This one possibly started the light "exploitation comedies" that flowed into the early 80s mainstream. It appears that all the dirty filth invading theater screens since then suddenly gave way to this picture that PORKY'S would later follow. You'll most likely expect the home video version being drastically cut of any excessive garbage, but what's the difference? Don't be surprised to find this one fairly delightful, very amusing, and less profane, because that's the way films like this should be. Still "adults only" fun, but not at the extreme (unless an uncut edition surfaces!). I hate how movies like this offer a plot where "getting revenge" hampers an already sweet story of five young girls running shop, so that kind of hurts it. If you're addicted to shot-on-video porn (and I hope not!), this isn't for you. But I know you're honest! GAS PUMP GIRLS, while worth a good night's rent, is a surprisingly overlooked gem that needed greater attention. A fine reference of cult moviedom. Check out the video box cover and see for yourself!
