Cheerleaders Wild Weekend [Special Edition] [BR]
(Anthony Lewis, Hana Byrbo, Janet Blythe, Jason Williams, et al / Blu-ray / NR / (1979) 2025 / MVD Rewind Collection)

Overview: Mix a busload of voluptuous cheerleaders with an embittered ex-football star, turned kidnapper, add plenty of action and passion, and you get a CHEERLEADERS’ WILD WEEKEND!

A group of comely and curvaceous cheerleaders are kidnapped by a vengeful jock (Jason Williams, Flesh Gordon) and held for ransom in an isolated hideout. Plotting an escape, these shapely victims let by Debbie Williams (Kristine DeBell, Alice in Wonderland), use their hidden charms to entice their captors. But eventually kidnappers and victims are drawn ultimately together in exhilarating excitement while plotting to steal the ransom money and foil the cops.

It’s an adventure like no other... and it could only happen on a CHEERLEADERS’ WILD WEEKEND!

Blu-ray Verdict: Evidently, different people are looking for different things in a soft-core comedy. Me, I just want to be playfully titillated, and this movie does it very well. How many times have we been disappointed when the cover artwork looked very juicy but the movie didn’t deliver? This is one of the gems that makes me say, Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

You have a bevy of cute, vibrant, teenage girls in colorful cheerleader uniforms, and one somewhat more mature woman who enriches the mix a bit. The acting is good; the girls are very animated with personality and attitude. The game of nudie peek-a-boo is well played, with teasing, finesse, and suspense around how much we are going to see and when. And then when the nudity comes, the girls are perky, succulent, and natural, with a wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the talk (as the Big Bopper put it in Chantilly Lace).

There is enough of an unpredictable story line to hold interest and clear the palette between nude scenes, and enough yada yada yada so you don’t lose track if you get distracted by girl watching. To wit: A busload of cheerleaders from three different high schools is hijacked en route to a state competition and held for ransom. The girls are taunted sexually, and six of the cuties are goaded into a musical striptease contest. The other highlight is a tender, soapy bath administered to one of the girls by the more mature school nurse!

Technically, the camera work is well done, with good composition and close-ups, and the dialog is clearly audible. It’s easy to take these things for granted until you come across a poor movie with cluttered pictures, nudity only in fuzzy long shots, and muffled dialog. The music is fresh and lively (not bump-and-grind techno).

Also, I’m a big fan of Marilyn Joi. I’ve seen 9 of her movies, and this is definitely the best display her feminine charms, along with the other 14 cuties who make up the cast of cheerleaders. Have I sufficiently explained why this is one of my favorite soft-core collectables? I think I have. Enjoy! [D.A.W.]
