MALIBU HIGH is, to me, one of the high points of cheaply made, dirty 70's drive-in sex flicks. I find this sordid tale of a clearly too old to be in high-school high-schooler named Kim to be highly re-watchable for its total cheese factor alone. At first you feel bad for main character Kim's rejection by her asshole boyfriend but my solidarity with the main character's plight shifted pretty quickly when I realized how stupid she was for making the horrible choices she makes. Poor Kim(played by Jill Lansing who went on to do no other movies after this powerful performance) just keeps spiraling down going from angry, spurned girlfriend to teenage hooker to hit-girl for a rather hairy mobster. It all ends in a blaze of glory set to the theme of THE PEOPLE'S COURT. Utter ridiculous hilarity! Featuring boobs, blood, horrible tan lines, stupid pimps and the world's crappiest looking disco. It almost feels like what would happen if John Waters tried to make a serious drama about high school life. Does the title refer to the height of the main actresses pants? Perhaps.
Kim hates cleanliness! Oh the drama:
Please, oh please, post the epic chase scene with the theme music from The People's Court!
ReplyDeleteI would love to. That scene is epic! Unfortunately the clip on YouTube has the sound missing for some reason. If I find it somewhere else though I will gladly post it and in the meantime I added a lovely picture of Kim's natural 70's boobs for your viewing pleasure. :)
