Okay, this is my third consecutive review of a cheerleaders movie after The Cheerleaders and The Swinging Cheerleaders. We're back in high school for this one. Two of the writers of The Cheerleaders-Ace Baandage and Richard Lerner who also directed this one-are involved and they provide some pretty sexy scenes and also some good dance sequences. But the rest of the movie is pointless with a plot of a possible merger with another school and many unfunny scenes of a drug-infused lunch and a chase at the end. Carl Ballantine is pretty funny in his brief scenes and it's interesting seeing David Hasselhoff at the beginning of his career. And seeing a pregnant Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith-who previously was in The Swinging Cheerleaders-and her actual baby at the end was also nice to see. Too bad about her tragic end. Really, though, except for the sex and dance scenes, I don't really recommend Revenge of the Cheerleaders except for what I cited...

What a big difference with the previous movie "The Swinging Cheerleaders", that was totally lacking in fun. At least I still could have a good time with this movie, though it obviously is far from a great one.Actually, I could had forgiven this movie a lot, if it was more like its first half. In its first half the movie is basically being some mindless fun, in which there hardly is any story present at all. In its second half it suddenly is more about a silly evil plot, that was even just too dumb and silly to even understand. It never worked out and I was never interested in it. It really wasn't necessary for the movie at all.But perhaps on the other hand you really shouldn't be paying that much attention to this. Since when you really start analyzing this movie seriously, for how it's written and structured, there is so much wrong with it. This is not a well made movie by any means but at least you could tell that the film-makers were still having a lot of fun with it, which pays off in the end eventually.You could very easily just take and like the movie for what it is. As far as these sort of sleazy, sexploitation flicks go, this one is definitely one of the more fun ones out there, especially for its first half.Yes, it's still a sexploitation flick, just not a very extreme or explicit one. There is just some nudity but nothing that the average viewer couldn't handle. As far as portraying cheerleaders as sexual objects in this movie, it's very tame all and seems to hold back on it, especially when compared to the first movie "The Cheerleaders". But this movie is perhaps still mostly known and notorious for having David Hasselhoff, in his very first movie role, playing a character named Boner. It's not hard to recognize him, since he already seemed to have the same haircut and he also stands out because he seemed to be the tallest cast member. He isn't playing a big role though and he only gets to sniff a girl's underwear and shows some of his dancing moves but it was more than enough really. And what was with all the dancing anyway? Seriously, I have seen musical with far less dancing in it.Simply a movie you could watch to have some mindless, silly fun with!6/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I'm guessing that out of the Cheerleaders series, Revenge of the Cheerleaders would have to be considered the most deranged and wildly uneven of the bunch. It's a very good example of the "decade of decadence", the "celebration of excess" that was the 70s in all it's spirited glory.I have to admit that since the DVD age has led to such a renaissance in releasing obscure drive in fare, that I've become drawn to the exploitation genre, a fixture in a decade known for pushing the envelope as far a feasibly possible. Revenge of the Cheerleaders is a definite example of this.The rinky-dink plot which holds the shenanigans together concerns a developer's grand scheme to have Aloha High School shut down due to lewd conduct and bad supervision by an incapable staff, merging with their rivals, Lincoln. This plot is really all there is. You have the big basketball game, lunch room fight(..except this time, everyone participating are drugged out of their mind thanks to confiscated narcotics and liquor from a class of LIncoln students raided by two of Aloha's cheerleaders, using a fire extinguisher to hold them at bay!), bubble shower orgy(..you can't make this up!), and "rescue" finale where the cheerleaders must save their new principal kidnapped by the evil nurse of their school(..working with land developer who wishes to demolish the school to use the location for a mall). The film utilizes a dinosaur sculpture in California desert(..a landmark of sorts many will remember from Pee Wee's Big Adventure)and the historic Bronson Caves which, in the film, leads to the land developer's mall(..his office is located under a sand pit for a golf course which capsizes after the nurse fell into it's soggy quicksand portion!).Patrice Rohmer is who I will devote a special paragraph for the girl remains practically naked throughout the entire farce. She seems quite liberated and care-free about going around naked no matter who's in the room with her. She, along with fellow cheerleader Susie Elene, has sex with a boy scout they find jogging along a trail! She is always in the arms of a young, scrawny David Hasselhoff who has every right to be embarrassed about his involvement in this.The film often has the cheerleaders and basketball players breaking out in one pathetic(..but quite energetic and lively, despite the lack of talent or quality of choreography) boogie dance after another. They matter little to the plot and seem to exist out of the idea of those who wrote it just proclaiming within the script.."If all else fails, let's dance!" Cheryl Smith(..using her Rainbeaux moniker)doesn't really have a substantial role because she was(very)pregnant! She seems along for the ride due to her involvement in the previous Cheerleaders installment. She's still quite beautiful and photogenic, but is limited to what she can do along with her risqué colleagues. I thought the final moment in the film(..featuring a thinner Smith, holding her baby)was a wonderful idea. It just reminds me of the tragedy which would end her career and life. The decade of decadence had it's repercussions, an "epidemic of sin" regarding transmitted diseases took the lives of many after such a free-spirited, "everything goes" lifestyle left plenty of damage in it's wake.If you like your movies batty and manic, uninhibited and trashy, without a care in the world regarding content or conventional film-making, Revenge of the Cheerleaders just might be up your alley.

Unexpectedly strange sex romp has a gang of horny teens resisting shifty land-developers who plan to raze the local high school and replace it with a shopping mall. This probably should have been a garden variety pea-brained libido comedy, and it does, of course, subsume the compulsory parade of birthday suits and ribald chuckles. A differentia of abstract/surreal touches, however, certify this flick as a "stand alone" oddity...malt-shop analingus...a golf course sand-trap portal to the local high school...an ignominious subito dancing scene...the waitress who refused Jack Nicholson toast in FIVE EASY PIECES...future KNIGHT RIDER stud David Hasselhoff(who probably doesn't talk much about this one). Subtleties, all, but it's just enough to keep the viewer slightly cross-eyed with a crooked grin.All things considered, this is a novelty more weird than legitimately good, but it might be worth a look(if only for the presence of the late, great Rainbeaux Smith, preggers to the max during production).5.5/10
