Joysticks (1983)

[lester1/2jr]

        The genius behind "Black Shampoo" is back. or was back.   This is a low budget and very mediocre looking print of a great movie!  Some guy for some reason wants to shut down the rather small arcade.  So the kids decide to fight back!  except one of them, who loves arcade games, helps the other guy.  That would be King Vidiot, the leader of a pac man obsessed gang who, in the films most heroic shot,  drive tiny little motorcycles.  Like a foot tall.  There is much probably unauthorized use of pac man, superpac man, and ms. pacman.  The vibe is Porky's, Meatballs, and other trashy teen flicks.  There is not quite as much sex as some would hope for, but there is nudity and bad language so it isn't "wimpy".  "Tokens are on the house!!"



perhaps best of all, the soundtrack features songs about playing video games

Rented it as a teen and was disappointed by the lack of case-promised nudity.  If that counts for anything.

gerry-  well again, there isn't a TON, but there is some , enough to give it that crazy b movie energy. 

I mean, in one scene the dorky new employee at the arcade drops a hot dog into some teenage girls cleavage.  who doesn't like stuff like that?  even gay guys probably enjoy that
