    Titties and farts, ladies and gents. Another super low-brow 80s boner comedy courtesy of Greydon Clark. Just like with WACKO, Clark has recruited Joe Don Baker to try and class things up.

    Playing strictly into teen male fantasy, we have a greasy video arcade that’s also the local hangout for sexy coeds. The magic of cinema! Baker is a dad who wants the place shut down.

    I like the introduction we get of Reynold’s Nick Escalante, where his sexually aggressive bar creep demeanour is revealed to be a PR “plant” for insecure boyfriends; flopping in the ring and losing the…
