The greatest movie ever made..!
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreThis movie begins with 3 members of a local motorcycle gang known as "the Vultures" playing a trick on some high school students during their graduation. Later that night a man named "Uncle Joe" (Huntz Hall) has a mild heart attack and as a result cannot operate his local gas station because of it. Fortunately, his niece, "June" (Kirsten Baker) comes up with a plan to invite her high school friends to help run it while Uncle Joe is recovering. What none of them realize however is the extent at which a new service station across the street has ruined Uncle Joe's business. And the owner of the new gas station, "Mr. Friendly" (Dave Shelley) has no intention of allowing anybody to interfere with his profits. What Mr. Friendly doesn't count on is the ingenuity of June furthered by the Vultures when they decide to join her team. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is the kind of grade-B film which could have only been produced in the 70's with the music, hair styles and everything else clearly standing out. Yet in spite of the obvious low-budget, extremely simple plot and poor acting, the movie itself wasn't too bad all things considered. What I found most enjoyable was that the humor was so basic and corny that it was actually funny--in a weird sort of way. Likewise, having a couple of cute young actresses like Linda Lawrence (as "Betty") along with the aforementioned Kirsten Baker certainly didn't hurt either. That said, while this film clearly isn't a good picture by any means, it wasn't that bad either and because of that I have rated it as just slightly below average.
View MoreGas Pump Girls is a late '70s drive-in movie about a group of sexy girls who decide to save their uncle's ailing gas station by putting their bodies on the line, making mini skirts with halter tops that they remove whenever a crisis arises, such as when mobsters arrive and try to kill them. Their feminine charms work so well that soon business is booming.The movie opens with a scene that sets the tone for the rest of the picture: at a graduation ceremony, a gang of greasers (the vultures) snag the girls' gowns on a nail so that when they step forward the material, which is apparently made out of crepe paper, rips off, and of course the girls are all wearing next to nothing underneath.This modest tone, one of bawdy humour, is not upheld throughout the movie's runtime. The movie seriously falters toward the end, as I guess the screenwriters ran out of excuses to show nudity, or much else to advance the already pretty thin plot. I never believed that the girls and their friends would go to any length to save the old man's gas station. He isn't particularly charismatic when you meet him, and there's no chemistry between him and the main character.I liked her, though. She's very pretty with her blonde hair and blue eyes. The only nudity from her is right at the beginning of the movie, in the gown-tearing sequence.
View MoreAside from some gratuitous topless scenes and a few double entendres, Gas Pump Girls is a surprisingly sweet little film about five teenage girls, their boyfriends, and a goofy motorcycle gang taking on the big bad Pyramid Petroleum Company in beautiful downtown Sacramento. The talents of old timers Huntz Hall, Joe E. Ross, and Mike Mazurki are sadly wasted, but the film manages to provide 90 minutes of relatively painless entertainment. Even the wretched original songs work in the post-Grease context of this low budget musical comedy. "Ooo wah ooh wah...ooh wah ooh wah...your mother is an ooo wah" indeed!
View MoreAre you in the mood for a movie like Grease? Well, unfortunately this is not it. The soundtrack is very Saturday Night Fever, however the movie itself sets the tone for the rest of the decades achievements Animal House and Porky's. Okay so the acting isn't great. The girls are hot, there's nudity and there's even a guy named Pee Wee(Porky's character) in it. Overall I'd say if your going to rent some B movie this is one to give a shot.
