Subject: Over The Edge(film)

Written By: joeman on 08/20/10 at 9:24 am

Did anyone ever see this movie?  Also, was this a good representation of teenagers of the late 70s?

I have never heard of the film, but reading about it on wiki, yeah..these was lots of alcohol and drugs and sex at the parties I attended ( I wsa a teen in the latter half of the 70s).
Violence? Not the violence we have today though.

It was a pretty decent film. It captured teen angst, apathy and the need for independence well.
I can't say if it captured the drug culture accurately b/c that was never my scene. And I don't think I ever heard of kids rebelling on a large scale locking parents in the school and having a full on riot outside.

Basically the tone was quite effective but the execution of it went over the edge.  ;)

As I've told you, my stepfather owned one of the first video stores in the neighborhood and that was one of the first movies we had on video tape (might have even been Betamax  :D )

It is part 1 of the movie, but it has links to the other parts of it.
