Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie's State Park was susposed to be located in Michigan. At about 12:26 into the movie, in the park ranger's office, the Coat of Arms of the State of Michigan can be seen displayed on the back wall. This same Coat of Arms can be seen displayed in many Michigan State offices. There is also a sign giving directions to the camp being less than an hour away on I-75. I-75 is the main traffic artery for the urbanites of the cities in the South to go "Up North" for camping and vacations.
- GoofsDuring the kayak race, it's obvious the actor close-ups were shot on land with the river in the background.

Featured review
In 1988, this would've been a three at best, but because it is so gloriously 1980's, it's a five here from 2024.
So hard to believe this film is almost forty years old.
It does have one of the most 1980's movie scenes ever in the recorded history of film, ever!
In one continuous shot, a dude about to dive into a lake, strips off his jeans and (in all seriousness) reveals that underneath it all, he's wearing cutoff jean shorts, yes, jorts!!!
He's like, I'm jumping in there, hold up, unzips, pulls off the tight jeans he was already wearing, and right underneath, even together jorts!!!
And then he dives into the lake!!
Amazing!!!
Of course this film is silly and meaningless.
Eighties stereotypes reign supreme.
The geeks and nerds.
The glam metal made up punks.
The dumb jocks.
The pretty sorority type girls.
But they should've called this Provincial Park as this appears to have been filmed in Quebec.
Oui, it's true!
And the story is about white dudes in suits (who else?) inexplicably wanting to dump toxic waste at the provincial, I mean, state park.
An unknown vigilante in a bear suit keeps sabotaging their progress.
The girls are pretty.
Their hair and makeup obviously of that time.
Oh, and Ted Nugent is in this!!
He really is!!
Even one of his songs is in it.
I would've seen him in concert around this time with .38 Special!!
But I've never heard of this film.
It's not a bad day at the park.
It's just a way better time warp.
No way!
Way.
