Crown International Pictures Double Feature!


 Crown International Pictures started up in the early 60s (late 50s?) and were a lower rent AIP; they had no graduates like Scorcese, Coppola or Jack Nicholson, but they had Robert Carradine! Pom Pom Girls and Malibu Beach are two examples of rambling 70s T&A comedies that cram a bunch of gags into a scant 80 minutes. POM POM GIRLS PLOT: There's a couple of high school goofballs trying to make it with as many hot girls as possible while a prank war rages, a bully is jealous of Robert Carradine. MALIBU BEACH PLOT: There's a couple of high school goofballs trying to make it with as many hot girls as possible at Malibu Beach, a bully is jealous of an actor who is not Robert Carradine. There's quite a bit of overlap as you can well imagine, for instance, the casts feature a number of the same actors and both films feature a game of chicken and car wrecks. Malibu Beach features a fake shark with gas and a dog that snatches bikini tops, Pom Pom Girls features a 70s make-out van, a food fight and the girls locker room. We found these in a 10-pack of Crown International movies, highly recommended.

    1. Maybe. Is it a request for the Sex O' Clock News?
