Trivia:

The beer all the guys drink in the movie is called Ox 45. The script originally called for them to drink Colt 45, but Colt 45 wouldn't allow it because they refuse to endorse under-age drinking. So their drink-of-choice was changed from Colt 45 to Ox 45.

Allllcccoooohhhhhoooooolllllll

This is one awesome film. One of the greats in which they can keep the pace up without really having a plot for the full 90+ minutes. It's compared to Dazed & Confused SO many times, and why, because they both portrait teen life in the 70's? The truth is that these films are completely different. I own both & though Dazed and Confused is good for a few times, the plot gets kinda boring... I mean, in reality, how many 'last day of school' comedies can you watch, even if this one does have a 70's twist. The Stoned Age, on the other hand goes its own way & it's beautiful for that. It probably had a low budget, but you grow to love (& even though he's *supposed* to be a loser) connect too with Joe, especially as he just gets his as kicked all the time. Another great character was Tack. This guy's so funny 'cause he's so clueless, 'hey, get naked or shut up' is probably his best line, though he has a load through the film. I also like it that unlike most teen comedies (dazed & confused included, all the actors haven't come straight off the modelling track. They're mostly ordinary looking, and the film in my view is better for that. This is a great film. I've watched it loads & the scene after the girls are talking in the toilet always cracks me up. :)
