Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is the very definition of a guilty pleasure film.Teenage blondes in hot pants and mini skirts, Scott Baio, Marcia Brady, stoners, food fights, midgets, cross dressers, and "Introducing Patrick Swayze" it all takes place within one night within the wall of Skatetown USA! The plot: Yes, there actually is a plot. True to the Greek unity of time and place the entire film is set in one night inside a roller disco which appears to be the space ship from 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' only BRIGHTER! The night starts with Scott Baio placing huge bets that his rookie friend Stan can sweep the roller disco competition. But there are troubles in techno paradise as Patrick Swayze and his Ron Jeremy look alike gang arrive on scene and black mail Flip Wilson (no puns intended) Skatetown USA's owner into rigging the contest.Swayze's performance boldly says that no closet can hold him. But Stan's puts John Travolta performance in 'Staying Alive' to shame.All in all this is a fun film that never takes itself to seriously. There's some good music which is difficult for the 70s and some really impressive dance scenes. There's also plenty of PG T&A.

I found this movie on DVD at missed movies dot com, but it was clearly dubbed off a mid-grade VHS copy, so expect it to play like an episode of Chips your uncle recorded on his brand-new $800 VCR, back in 1981. If I were Patrick Swayze, I would've bought the rights to this movie years ago and buried it. One must be impressed with his skate/dancing prowess though. His "gang" looked like they could get beat up by the gang in the Michael Jackson Beat It video.It's basically a long, disco rollerskating music video, with a few jokes from Flip Wilson and the Unknown comic thrown in the mix.Besides seeing Horseshack and Marsha Brady, one of the pizza guys at the snack bar was the therapist in There's Something About Mary, although I can't seem to find his credit in either film.

I really loved this movie it was so cool and oh man Patrick Swayze looked so hunky. I am also a big fan of Kelly Lang she is one of my favorite actresses from Bold and the Beautiful she was so young and beautiful and she still looks hot. I would love to see this movie again again and again I love 70's disco skating movies. I love all the wonderful skating tricks that are performed it really was just great. Also the blonde guy in the movie was pretty hot too is he in any other popular movies? Also I really liked that little short guy he really made the movie fun and wonderful to watch as well as miss Marcia Brady herself in that nice little outfit she wore wow! She has good taste in skating attire. Oh and let us not forget the skate town doctor he was really just funny man cool guy love the actor. You just got to watch this movie.

This movie falls in with ALL of the disco movies....it is better off mothballed and forgotten. As most of the disco era movies go, they reflect a time that is ridiculed for the idiocy that goes hand in hand with Disco music.
