"Do your parents know you're Ramones?" With those withering words, Miss Togar (Mary Woronov), the uptight neofascist principal of Vince Lombardi High School, addresses the four mop-haired, leather-jacketed members of America's first and most famous punk band. And you know it won't be long before the Ramones's jackhammer riffs are blaring through the public address system at maximum volume, the kids are running--not walking--wild in the hallways (without passes!), and Miss Togar's gulag is re-christened "Rock 'n' Roll High School." Then, in keeping with the outrageously nihilistic animus of punk, the high school students and the Ramones just blow the place to smithereens. It's a crowd- pleasing, fantasy-fulfillment climax that combines the apocalyptic finale of Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point with the explosive conclusion of Alice Cooper's "School's Out." Rock 'n' Roll High School is a blast, a goofy and liberating salute to the rebel spirit behind the teen rock 'n' roll movies of the 1950s, which always pitted the kids' insatiable appetite for fun against the adults' fear-based authoritarianism. The film is emblematic of the disarmingly silly, tongue-in-cheek humor of the youth-oriented B-pictures cranked out in the '50s and '60s by renowned low-budget exploitation mogul Roger Corman (who gave many a hungry young filmmaker, including the creators of this film, their start in the biz), and of the noisy, anarchic energy of '70s punk rock, as personified by the inimitable Ramones. In the words of the maestros' beach-blanket-buzz-saw title anthem, this movie is "Fun, fun, oh baby, fun, fun..." The digital video disc offers audio commentary by the filmmakers, including director Alan Arkush, a Leonard Maltin interview with Corman, and some audio outtakes of the Ramones. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews of Rock 'n Roll High School - Special Edition

A CrAzY, FUNNY, COOL REBEL 70'S ROCK MOVIE!!!!!!!!
MAN, I ALWAYS HATED SCHOOL!!!! I glad that in this movie the students TEAR IT APART!!!! and not only that!, the kids smoke pot, smell coke and they invite THE RAMONES to their school so they can "ROCK N' BLOW"!!!! <
> <
>In this movie you hear a lot of cool rocking soundtracks like Alice Cooper's SCHOOL'S OUT and Brownville Station's SMOKING IN THE BOYS ROOM but the main soundtracks were the RAMONES's in their concert scene. The movie also tells that ROCK is about breaking the rules and going crazy! <
> <
>Im a 70's fan and a ROCK fan! so for me this movie is VERY SPECIAL!! Another movies like this are Detroit Rock City and Dazed and Confused. <
> <
>P.S: The ONLY defects of the movie are the audio witch wasn't THAT good and the PG rating witch is wrong! This movie should be rated PG-13 because of the brief nudity and drug use. <
> <
>Adios.


would have given it five stars but it's non-anamorphic!
the box clearly says anamorphic widescreen; that's why I bought it to play on my new widescreen TV. it's not, it's non-anamorphic letterbox so instead of it filling the whole screen, it's now a postage stamp in the middle of my screen. what a gyp! how bout it Buena Vista, where's the enhanced widescreen disc? <
> <
>other than that, this a pretty cool movie. i've got most of the ramones albums and it's a lot of fun watching them play live. movie recommended, but a word of warning to widescreen TV owners!


4 Stars for Cultishness and Charm!
I watched this movie on UMD on my PSP, (not the DVD version) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great movie, and had a lot of charisma and charm, albeit lacking a bit in production. But that didn't bother me. Sure, the acting is sub-par, and just above a Porno plot, but how can you overlook the cuteness of PJ Soles. What warm blooded american male or female for that much, can resist her sexy charms as she seduces the hearts of the Ramones. <

>I probably will watch this movie every year, around end of the school year, and let it keep me young. I'm in my 40's and I still have very fond memories of highschool, and this helps me to re-live them, even if I was Mr. Goody Two Shoes. This film helps to unleash my rebellious side.
