Great film, we watched it all the time in the 80s on an illegally-dubbed VHS tape. My library has the Blu-Ray and it looks sharp.

Penelope Spheeris is an interesting person. This interview covers what she's up to these days. She has a dream project, called Lust N' Rust... a country western trailer park musical. If I had the money, I'd write a check for that myself.
