Parsons (Hauser) and Peters (Travolta) are cops on the beat trying to get to the bottom of a rape/murder case. Parsons is the more hardline dude (sporting some cool sunglasses) and Peters is the cop with a soft spot. As it turns out, the victims were subject to rampant wilding - presumably a group of kids going nuts. But it went too far. Tommy Baldwin (Steven Cooke) is a high school student who is leading a double life as an amoral wilding leader. He is egged on by his second-in-command Jason (Anunciation). Perhaps only the power of family, as represented by Tommy's father and brother (Chris McCleod and David Crane) can save Tommy. Or will it be something else?Not to be confused with Night of the Wilding (1990), here we have ANOTHER wilding movie. And the amazing part is - Joey Travolta is in both! Surely this must be a movie first. There are only two movies about wilding that we know of, and Joey is there whichever way you turn. How did this happen? Did he specifically request to his agent that he only wants to star in movies about wilding? Or is it purely a coincidence? Nevertheless, Joey is at his best here. It must have been a challenge to hold your own against co-star Wings Hauser, but Joey just about upstages him.In the late 80's/early 90's, wilding must have been a topic that was on everyone's minds, and AIP wasn't about to let the opportunity slip away. Sure, there is some mild social commentary within, but some of the acting/non-acting is hilarious and there are two huge laugh-out-loud moments as well. We won't spoil them for you here. Also, Tommy's father looks like Dick Butkus and wears some great outfits (everyone in this movie has great outfits), The character of Jason, who is supposedly so evil, looks like a 10-year old dork. He resembles a cross between Lou Diamond Phillips and Alfred E. Newman.As for the wilding, it mainly seems to consist of kids watching cars race dune buggies. And one kid in the crowd is juggling. Yep, that's how you know these kids are up to no good. "They know how to juggle, let's get out of here!" Other indications that these teens are rebels are the posters and T-shirts they have. Guns n' Roses, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, The Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols and even Mentors merchandise can be seen. If they're "punk" or "metal" you know they are on the outskirts of society. The influence of the movie Suburbia comes through here (and elsewhere). This is best exemplified when Tommy's brother, perhaps the ultimate preppy, goes to their lair and conflict ensues.Adding to the overall vibe of fun, low-budget silliness is the fact that there is a montage of highlights from the movie during the opening credits. You don't see this too often, mainly because filmmakers probably don't want to spoil any potential surprises. But not director Eric Louzil (best known for his Troma work). Also it should be noted that Wilding is filled with great music, highlighted by the title song, "Don't Try to Stop Tomorrow" by Tiziana Rivale. This Pat Benatar-like tune will be stuck in your head for days.A lot of fun, see this movie if you get the chance to. Of all the wilding movies, this one stands head and shoulders above the other one.For more action insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

All I can say is this is probably the BEST dumb teen gangland movie filmed in Yuma. I'm not just saying that because it's my only screen credit on IMDb. Really. Of all the dumb teen gang movies shot in Yuma with me having screen credit, this is by far the BEST. Really. I got free food, free beer, got beat up by Travolta's cousin, and (the coolest bit) was taught to "stage fight" by Marky Desade from Unforgiven, a very unknown '70's punk band. Not only do you get to see me with my chick-loving long hair, you can also see many of my friends as extras and my house in the background in of a couple of scenes. I was also in Class of Nuke 'Em High 2 and 3, though apparently I wasn't good enough to get credit for those "roles."

This story is so off, I'm surprised the video didn't smell. Wish it had, then I wouldn't have paid one whole Australian dollar for it.The only redeeming feature is a couple of goodlooking gang members. Unfortunately their characters are so poorly written that they don't come across as real.Astro Boy has more credibility than this tosh.
