THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN-DUAL FORMAT DISCUSSION THREAD

[Rik]

The Last American Virgin Dual Format Blu-ray & DVD

THE COMEDY THAT PUTS ZIP INTO BEING A TEEN…

Gary, Rick and David are American teens with one thing on their mind. They move from party to party, trying out their latest chat-up lines, which usually ends in miserable failure for Gary, as he's more interested in finding true romance than a quick fumble in someone's parents' bedroom. So when Karen arrives at their school, Gary falls head over heels in love, but Rick's baser intentions towards her threaten to break up their friendship for good.

Championed by Eli Roth (Hostel) as one of the most underrated films of its era, The Last American Virgin is a raucous but also surprisingly intelligent and sobering look at the hideousness of growing up, peer pressures, misplaced expectations and unforeseen consequences.

It's also a superb snapshot of the early Eighties music scene, with the soundtrack featuring Blondie, Devo, The Human League, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Police, U2 and many others.

The only disappointing thing about the release (and not Arrow's fault), is The Human League song, Love Action being removed, and Whip It, by Devo being repeated during one of the scenes. Otherwise, a great blu-ray. Would've been nice to see the film being more successful and them making more "Lemon Popsicle" films.

I've never seen this film but being really into Porky's and the like am I likely to enjoy this one?

Definitely. It has a slightly different tone to Porky's and a little less raucous, but it's a great 80's teen movie. I'm ashamed to say that the Arrow BD was my first time seeing it.

[Edgeworth]

First time for me too, loved it. When I was watching I thought it was kinda like a cross between Porky's and something more serious like St. Elmo's Fire.

I haven't (or at least can't remember) seen this film but I'm a big fan of the Lemon Popsicle films so is it worth it for me to get or will it annoy me?

I haven't seen Lemon Popsicle but I watched the extras on LAV, Boaz Davidson said he pretty much remade it, updated it and American-ized it.

Who doesn't love 80's American teen movies?
