A Roger Ebert “Dog of the Week” also known as The Great American Girl Robbery, Bus 17 Is Missing and Cheerleaders’ Naughty Weekend, Cheerleader’s Wild Weekend finds a bus filled with twentysomething teenagers — three teams of cheerleaders, including Kristine DeBell (Alice from the adult Alice In Wonderland and a former Ford model; she’s in so many movies that it’s hard to just pick a few, but let’s say The Big Brawl and Tag: The Assassination Game), Wally Ann Wharton (who has plenty of non-sex adult roles and is also in Last Resort), Leslie King (who would go on to write 1988’s To Die For), Lachelle Chamberlain (whose IMDB roles include Miss Teenage U.S.A., a young girl and pretty girl), Marilyn Joi (Cleopatra Schwartz!) and Lenka Novak (one of the Catholic High School Girls In Trouble) — getting kidnapped by the National American Army of Freedom, who are made up of ex-football players and one butch woman. They call their demands into DJ Joyful Jerome (Leon Isaac Kennedy) while Jason Williams from Flesh Gordon and Robert Houston from The Hills Have Eyes attempt to save them.

This is a scummy movie, but at least one of the sexual assault scenes was so dark it didn’t end up in the movie. When you look at the poster art, you’ll say, “This looks like a sex comedy.” But no. No, it’s kind of like if the SLA kidnapped the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Look at how dark this IMDB trivia is: “A brunette actress broke her left arm during production, and they avoided filming her left side through the remainder of the film.” We don’t even know her name.

When you see Bill Osco and Chuck Russell’s names on this, you know what you’re getting into.

It was directed by Jeff Werner and written by D.W. Gilbert and Williams, who conveniently wrote himself into the good guy role and got the girl at the end. These guys also made a movie in which women use striptease to keep their captives from killing them. But hey, you know the movies I like. This fits right in.

The MVD Rewind Collection release of this movie — what a great release for such a scuzzy movie and I applaud them for that! — has extras like two commentary tracks, one by director Jeff Werner, actress Marilyn Joi and editor Gregory McClatchy and the other with Kristine DeBell; interviews with DeBell. Joi, Jason Williams and Leon Isaac Kennedy; a photo gallery; an alternate title card; a trailer and a collectible mini-poster. You can get this from MVD.
