Two military brats move to Florida to live with their uncle following their parents' deaths. A local gang of bullies torments them. Guess the gang didn't figure daddy trained his kids well.
Not a great film for sure but I enjoyed journeying back to the 80s and immersing myself in the experience only those films can generate. Spader was in one of my favorite films of the period, Tuff Turf, in which he is the new kid harassed by bullies. This would've made for a great double feature back then. If you enjoy 80s films, this might be worth a watch. If not, then you probably wanna move along.
Trivia:
Presby left acting to become a philosophy teacher. Then he studied law and became deputy district attorney in LA.
One of the few films in which Tom Atkins doesn't get to bang the hot chick.
Lori Loughlin became a criminal.
I wonder what happened to Spader...?
Tuff Turf also features an early appearance of Robert Downey Jr.
Although Cunningham directed the awesome Friday the 13th (original), the bulk of his other films are rated horribly.
