    • Quotes

      [the gang pulls up to the high school and hear a game going on inside]

      Marble: Hey, will ya listen to that? I wonder what the score is!

      Punch: Ah, who gives a shit? The only score I'm interested in is the one I might make if some foxy chicks start pilin' outta there.

      Bumps: [laughs] I can dig it, bro.

    • Alternate versions
      Re-release under the title "Cruisin' High" cuts some of the more violent shots, such as the bullet impacts on the characters. This causes noticeable jumps in the picture and audio.

    I may be an extra in a bad movie, but it's *my* bad movie!

    So okay, I'm biased; they filmed this at my high school (Santa Maria High School) in '75, and I was one of the $15-a-day extras that walked up and down the corridors carefully not looking at the camera. Still...there *are* others who have seen this movie?! If you saw this movie, please send me a note, I'd love to know why..........
