whoa...that's my truck!

this masterpiece rivals north shore in shear funability. and did u see the lead chick's red '86 chevy blazer? that shyt is tight. i miss my blazer every time i see it *sniff*. the stunts are so obviously done by stunt doubles that it just adds to the fun. with this aforementioned bonus, neon clothes, sickaaa 80's vehicles, and big hair on not only the ladies but also the dudes, you'll never forget your watching an 80's movie. don't forget to buy the soundtrack, which, in my opinion, rivals and even exceeds teen wolf. lord of the rings eat your heart out--this movie is for real.
