Nope, never heard of it. Any clips on youtube or someplace?

Nope, not a dickie bird

nothing at all?? what about not on youtube?

I couldn't find anything. It's seems to be even more obscure than The Warriors.

Looks like it's not yet been released on DVD

Here's the IMDB link:

Great flick, and highly underrated. I remember HBO used to air this movie all the time around 1979-80. I was around 9 years old when I saw it, and was kind of scared of the gangs that harrassed the elderly people in this movie. But scared in a good way, the kind that made you want to watch it and see how it would turn out.

You had HBO back in 79-80?

They only broadcast for 9 hours a a day back then, and were still known as Home Box Office!

Yes we did, here in Nowhere, Minnesota. The best thing about Home Box Office was the obscure film shorts they'd sometimes show between films, or "Video Jukebox", where they'd play early music videos, before there was Night Flight or MTV. Speaking of which, our cable company somehow couldn't manage to get MTV here until around 1984-85.

never saw this movie before at all but im defo up for watching it. i love cult movies so much. anyways thanks for this boppers, adios x
