Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I saw this TV movie when it first aired. The Los Angeles Times reviewer said in advance that it was not any good and advised readers not to watch so as to prevent a third movie! I watched anyway mainly because the then Los Angeles Rams had beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs the previous week and, in doing so, changed the script. All references in the script to "the Super Bowl" had to be redubbed "the playoff game"-after all, the Cowboys weren't going! The only problem was that on screen the lips were saying "Super Bowl" while the overdubbing said "playoff game!" Watch any badly dubbed foreign movie and you'll see what I mean! Back to the movie...standard story line about America's most famous sideline attraction...lots of familiar TV actors...it's two hours of your life that you'll never get back! I saw the movie a few years later and the sound still said "playoff game"...???!!! I gave this movie a six just for the trivia aspect...I'm surprised more viewers haven't mentioned it.
I have been looking for this film for years. No I am not a cheerleader stalker, no, I am not a cowboy nut. I was living in Dallas in 1980 and was going to a vanguard school for acting, when the studio called up and said, "we need a bunch of kids to play patients in a hospital."Somewhere I still have a autograph book with many actors and cheerleaders in it. I remember the director saying he was going to fire all the kids who were racing wheelchairs.I would love it if someone would sell me their copy. I've been unable to find it released.
