Plot Synopsis:
Unruly teen Riff Randell (P.J. Soles) would rather see the Ramones in concert than go to school (hey, who wouldn't?) She pens "Rock and Roll High School" ("I just wanna have some kicks; I just wanna get some chicks"), goes to the concert, and ends up burning down the school with the Ramones in tow.
Favorite Moments:
- Anything with the Ramones, especially Joey munching a chicken leg and the entire band inhaling pizza.
- Riff Randell's pot-induced Ramones dream.
- Mary Woronov, with her stately arched eyebrows.
- Any movie that inspires a Corey Feldman-fueled sequel has to make it's way into my cheesy heart...
