Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Uriah43 "Kim Bentley" (Jill Lansing) is a high school senior with a bad attitude. She is both undisciplined and lazy and because of that she is failing all of her classes and may not receive her high school diploma. To top it off her boyfriend "Kevin" (Stuart Taylor) has just dumped her for another girl named "Annette Ingersoll" (Tammy Taylor) who also happens to be the richest kid in school. This has made her angry, jealous and bitter. Realizing her situation she decides to reverse these circumstances by seducing her teachers in order to pass her classes so that she can graduate. Not long afterward she also decides to become a prostitute working for a pimp named "Tony" (Alex Mann). It's around this time that her destructive nature begins to spiral out-of-control without any concern by her for the consequences. Now although I didn't care much for the character of "Kim Bentley" I do think that Jill Lansing managed to play the part adequately enough all things considered. I also thought Tammy Taylor was kind of cute as well. But other than that I saw nothing in this film that was remotely interesting or entertaining. In essence it was a dull low-budget production and nothing more. For that reason I rate it as below average.
trashgang Jill Lansing, the main lead in this grindhouse gave a excellent performance but sadly it was her only movie she played in. Never heard of seen her again. And let me tell you that this is pure grindhouse. In the first minute Kim (Jill Lansing) wakes up , naked of course and the first thing she does is putting on a fag. Imagine this in today's film standards. The clothes, hair, even the score is so typical for that era, men, do I love those flicks. After Kim is dumped by her boyfriend for a rich girl she's on the loose. School doesn't work and she just don't care. But without any money she decides after a disco night (listen and watch it) to become another woman. One that teachers don't dare to flunk because she's seducing and making love to them. But Kim goes a bit further and goes into the world of hookers. Naturally, things go awry for Kim. You don't watch it for the acting because some are really wooden. The editing, sound and vision was really well for a grindhouse. The so-called erotic scene's are a bit dull, you just see the acting but anyhow you still want to know what is going to happen to Kim. And Kim does gives the breast, sorry, best she can. The ending is a bit weird, you can see it coming but how the cops arrive at the beach is still a bit weird. I mean, no cell phones in those days. I surely recommend it to the grindhouse geeks out there, you won't regret it.
Robert J. Maxwell Jill Lansing is a high school senior who has just broken up with her boyfriend, Kevin. Naturally she's distraught. To distract her from her own distress, she disses her mother, wears a provocative outfit to school, arranges to become a prostitute, and seduces one of her teachers, Mr. Donaldson.Jill and Mr. Donaldson have an assignation at the beach. Wordless. She disrobes. He disrobes. Then they roll around in their underwear. You can tell Mr. Donaldson because he's the one with the gray hair and slate blue briefs. Jill Lansing is the one with the breasts whose nipples are the size of bull's eyes on a dartboard -- oh, and the chaste white underpants.Those are only from the first few minutes of the movie. I wanted to see more of Jill Lansing's generous bosom, just out of curiosity, and determined to fast-forward through the intrigues and get to the nudity, but I found I simply lacked the energy to pick up the remote control.Either this movie is in terrible shape or I am.
Scarecrow-88 An 18 year old with a rotten attitude and bad grades decides to use her body as a means to gain money and graduate from school..soon becoming a prostitute and hitwoman in the process! The shocking subject matter grows from sleazy to violent and the protagonist has a really lousy personality, quite a polarizing character that gets exactly what she deserves. She often makes decisions on a whim, without much thought of future potential consequences. Selfish, always focused on what she desires, not considering those damaged by her actions. The film is far more serious than I thought it'd be, with a rather sordid atmosphere and unpleasant characters.. perfect 70's Drive-in fare certain to appeal to trash lovers everywhere. Lots of rather icky sex sequences where Kim rolls around with hairy old men, such as teachers she wished to score A's from in class(..like the history and physics teachers)and an unscrupulous mobster who uses her to bump off undesirables that affect those that he has relationships with. Jill Lansing as Kim, the lead character, sinks her fangs into the role..with quite a loud, confrontational voice, holding nothing back, Kim becomes impossible to handle, an independently thinking woman willing to commit unspeakable acts for her lover/employer.There are priceless(..incredibly tasteless, I could do nothing but stare in awe at the boldness of the filmmakers)scenes in this movie such as Kim's work with various "hard-hat" types for sweaty, greasy pimp Tony(Alex Mann, the kind of sleazeball most teenage girls run away from)in his van(..nothing hardcore, but the idea itself is disturbing)before "graduating" to higher clientèle once she begins prostituting for Lance(Garth Howard). The assassinations themselves left me awestruck.. when you take into effect that she was sitting in a classroom wondering how to survive during her current situation(..to be honest, a lot of what happens to Kim is of her own doing, even if tragedy struck her earlier in life regarding the suicide of pops and mother's overbearing ways, not to mention the boyfriend left for a rich daddy's girl), and about thirty minutes later she's killing people assigned to her. And, that climax is something to behold, rather grim and depressing if you truly contemplate what brought Kim to this point, with credits rolling unapologetically. The production values and technical proficiency are rather sub-par(..this is a low budget exploitation feature, after all)..to be honest, when I choose to watch a film like Malibu High I often expect to see "deficiencies" in all areas, because these movies were made(..and acted) primarily by amateurs you never see or hear from again. This film has a malicious tone I wasn't expecting..I wasn't for sure how it would develop but the idea of this girl, buried in a type of an emotional malaise, evolving from a tramp providing sexual favors for teachers to popping bullets into victims certainly surprised me. How malignant Kim becomes is another startling aspect with her going as far as causing her principal to suffer a heart attack by hiding his pills just because he was a threat towards her possible graduation! The dress for these characters should induce chuckles reminding us of the hideous seventies' fashions(..and the discotec scene reminds us of the ghastly music as well). Lansing bares her breasts throughout the movie very seldom hiding them under her shirts. Lansing's not the kind of girl I'd go for(..and as a "goddess of desire" she doesn't quite fit the bill, in my opinion), but it's a spirited, daring performance. Blunt, often foul-mouthed, and unpredictable script.
