Fun Fact the actress who played the evil school principal got her start in the 1960s by being a whip dancer for the Velvet Underground. So in reality she was more punk rock then any of these kids. I also heard all the teenagers were in awe of her.
Thank God. Broadway musicals are wretched and ruin everything. They're sanitary, boring, anodyne, desperate, and annoying. And worst of all - family friendly. Ugh.
@@josephirizarry5195 you must hate fun then also a lot of media are musicals you like Disney movies? You like musicals, you don’t hate musicals you hate certain types
There was just something about women back then.. may just be my personal preferences usually liking thinner framed but wow everytime I see a 70's or 80's movie evey single girl is beautiful.
Brilliant bit of 70s cheese! Look closely at 0'51, the props guys went to all the trouble of setting up the tape deck so you could see the VU meters flicking and the play button pressed down, but they forgot to power up the amp, I guess they thought everyone would be too busy staring at the gym gear :)
I want America back... I’m a 22 year old LEGALL Immigrant in the state of Massachusetts, and I assure you America doesn’t look anything like this anymore. :( Which makes me really sad cause it’s what I came here for. How on earth could you guys screw up such a great country so bad, it’s beyond belief.
@@hammill444 Back to not being fake. Back to people being genuine. Back to people having real relationships, real friends that they could count on. I can hardly ever see kids playing outside. It's like if everyone decided to live in their own separate islands. I want people to care about one another again. I want neighbors to know each other. I mostly blame all of it on social media but I know it's not the root cause of everything.
When I first saw this movie, I liked Riff because she reminded me of a girl I had a crush on. But with each successive viewing, I found myself falling in love with Kate Rambeau. She's just so sweet. (Apart from her being the one who actually BLEW UP the building... heh.)
I lived it - it sucked. The music on the radio sucked - only college radio was playing The Ramones. The cars were either piece of shit gas guzzlers or very tiny imports with slightly better mileage. The ties were big and the suits were polyester. There were some great movies and some great concert tours in the period but, all in all, between the total crap on television (cable was only just beginning), Nixon and Ford, air pollution, and the ubiquity of Dorothy Hamill haircuts for girls and feathered hair or perms for everyone one else, it was grim, very grim. The only things which gave me hope were The Ramones & Punk, Parliament/Funkadelic, and the underlying presence of Stanley Kubrick.
I remember this movie way back in the day. Riff Randell was hot, but I thought her square friend was a real cutie. I never noticed before but Riff either has very tan legs or she's wearing pantyhose. Either way, her legs look nice.
High School was just like that. Maybe someone should make a musical based on Rock n Roll High School. Trying to figure out if the receiver is a Pioneer or a Marantz.
I remember watching this when I was 12 years old with my first girl friend and my older brother chaperone we all had a great blast but we knew no way was riff 18 but knew it was a comedy as for now mrs soles grandkids can say my grandma rocks better than you haha smile (also love her in stripes the kitchen scene with Bill Murray )
I like this movie & the sequel, I like this version of Rock 'N' Roll High School & the sequel's. I also like that song playing on the tape player the girls were exercising to when Miss Togar came in the gym. I wish I could remember what it's call. Does anyone else know?

She's also the mom in the music video for "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies! \m/
Mary Woronov. She was in Eating Raoul and Death Race 2000 among many other credits.
Finding that out about Mary Woronov from The VU documentary only made me love Rock n' Roll High School even more
She is hot af
Mary Woronov was also in ANGEL OF H.E.A.T. with Marilyn Chambers! One of Marilyn's very few "R"-rated movies.
P.J. was such a cutie-pie back then. That was a fun movie... haven't thought about it in years. Thanks for the blast from the past.

No one had a bra on in this scene

wasn't the cast of grease all like in their early 30s o_o... boy the 70s was weird
probably held back for a decade lol

Pj Soles got to sing rock and roll high school with the ramones , she's lucky !! Nothing cooler than that ,
she is the nicest girl... i met her at a horror convention the other day. very social, took pics, gave hug even.
As a 23 year old man… I can say that I wish I grew up on the late 70s early 80s being the age I am now
Yes
It was fantastic.
If only gym class was this fun
Another one of the most underrated REM songs! This is one of their best!!!❤
🎶Bra bra bra bra, got no bras high school!🎶
Dude - you were awesome in J-Men Forever!
how highschool musical SHOULD be
God damn, I've always loved that redhead. Best movie ever.
As a teenager, I was more into Riff's "nerdy" friend.
Cut too short! I like when the hall monitors are feaking out to the staff . "girls, dancing, gym, boobs!" haha
And the highest grossing Corman film ever, btw. Cheap Trick rejected the script.
There was just something about women back then.. may just be my personal preferences usually liking thinner framed but wow everytime I see a 70's or 80's movie evey single girl is beautiful.
i actually like this version as much as the ramones’ version
Original sound track has both versions plus the 10-minute mini-live show from the movie
This version is specifically made for PJ Soles because she kept singing the original out of tune, lol

I want to see this 1979 movie!
Dedicated to my best friend Pat Clark.
I love this movie but it cracks me up how all the high school kids were like 30.
This is actually a pretty good version i like to listen to
PJ Soles forever
High School was just like that. Maybe someone should make a musical based on Rock n Roll High School.

Always fight Authority !!!
Rock music for Gym class.

b/c of Stripes I spent my college years attempting to master...THE AUNT JEMIMA TREATMENT! Good times...
All these Girls are Grandmas now, between 65-70. I bet they miss their youth when they watch this. Getting old SUCKS!!!
Interesting fact: PJ Soles real name is Pamela Jayne Hardon. No need to thank me.
Thank you
You have access to Google and Wikipedia?!-- cool.
women from the 70s... 😍🤤
I reameber this movie in 1979 i was 17
I like this movie & the sequel, I like this version of Rock 'N' Roll High School & the sequel's. I also like that song playing on the tape player the girls were exercising to when Miss Togar came in the gym. I wish I could remember what it's call. Does anyone else know?
Found it, it's called "Alley Cat" by Bent Fabric - 1962.
There was a sequel to this? 😮
Cruising Around in My GTO. :)
Sweet! This will go on my channel as well!

fun movie
Wait a minute if she wrote the song then how did she get it recorded on a cassette
Riff Randal lol I love her..
Achei estranho vocês falando "bonde" kkkk... É bando!
Wasn't P.J. the chick who got killed in the first Halloween?
No its Michael Myer's sister who is the first chick to get killed by Michael
And the chick with the red hat in Carrie
She was also killed in Carrie.
It reads "in the first Halloween" NOT "first in Halloween."
Anyone know who the long brown haired girl is?
I know who the girl is now. It's Cheryl played by Marla Rosenfield. She's gorgeous.
Nice number!
punk!!!!
WTF happened to America? seriously how did we end up here from there?
NEEEEEEEEEEEPILLZ!
at 1:20 whos the girl on the right ?
Pretty girls!
Those women have attractive legs back in 1979. P J Soles must join Celebrity Legs Hall of Fame.
DEMERIT DEMERIT !!!
1:30 I'm in love with Marla.
In my head, this movie takes place on the same Earth as the Suicide Squad movies. Riff Randell is Harley Quinn’s mother.
I had to wiki this,i thought the dark haired girl was Phoebe Cates from fast times at ridgemount high,nope it wasn't her
Is it cold, or just nipply in there?
She's literally my anime waifu.
director Alan Arkush became ill, so JOE DANTE directed this!!!!
Yeah yeah yeah duh duh duh - xxx
Nazi gold huh huh ya ya... Nazi gold...
Why didnt kate dance with them?
Doesn't anyone remember ear mail?
This is what girls looked like when I was in HS and they were all pretty.
I wish they made simple movies like this still without the all that cgi bs that they make em with today with a jump cut every damn sec
and then she showed up in Stripes, with Bill Murray!
Not before she showed up in Private Benjamin....with short black hair!
