I FOUND IT!!! The propaganda that amused me so. If it wasn't for movies like this I never would have thought intoxicants were so enticing. I remember wanting to be part of any rebellion, and drugs were the ultimate taboo. I was determined to be the antithesis of all expectation. I blame Nancy Reagan.
I watched this as a teen. Back then, I didn't take such "public awareness" films aimed at teens seriously. I thought this film was a riot, especially when Jack gets stoned. I should add I never did drugs although I had classmates that tried to pressure me to buy pot. I never took the bait.
there was another one like this that was made around this time, didn't have anybody famous in it, similar theme and message. it was set in a small town out in the desert. i can't remember anything else about it, but i remember it being on tv a couple times. that movie and this scott baio one both shaped my perception of stoner culture, right when i was at the age at which i was about to enter that culture, which is comical in itself. thanks for posting this!
His friends see how up tight he is and that he needs to loosen up and get stoned. The movie makes it out like they are evil. They are actually good friends.
Does anyone remember the name of an "anti drug" movie from the early 80's similar to this one where some kid gets introduced to smoking pot with some kids in a basement at school? At the end, they rob someone together because they need money for drugs, and tragedy obviously ensues. Then the kid "learns his lesson". I saw it as a kid, but I can't remember what it was called. Can anybody help me?
Question...the kid in the kitchen, teaching scott the ins and outs of smokin, is that the kid who played Jesse Spanos New York cousin on Saved the Bell?
Let's see... His friends smoke him up for free AT school, then his jock older brother does his chores for him. The next morning, his friend gets him lit AGAIN, even introducing him to the wonders of a water pipe (bong) in the process. They should have named this "My life rocks!" instead. :P
It's kinda funny looking back now these shows were really teaching us all how to get stoned, some of us never thought about it until we saw this and then it seemed a great idea:)
this kid has a solid group of friends that are offering to smoke him up for free. the actors are just saying their lines in an "asshole" tone to make it look like theyre doing something bad. in reality, theyre actually doing something nice.
@cthorste That was normal. Unlike today, back then straight guys weren't so afraid they'd be "tempted" by other guys that they wore clothes that fit instead of hiding under baggy clothes. We girls appreciated this a lot :-)
This was not the only After School Special Scott Baio ever did. He did others in the 80s like The Boy Who Drank Too Much, The Truth About Alex, and some others as wells.
Yeah I remember this. It would have been more convincing if the guys had been listening to Rush : ) Scott Baio was just finishing his run on "Happy Days" and would star in the truly horrific "Joanie Loves Chachi".
im going insane, i need a way out, why must i shout,why should i pretend, is this the end,im going insane, i need a way out,why must i shout ,lol great background song
awesome thanks for the upload, i had alot of great memories with this movie, i was over my friend's house we got all lit up and watched this movie cracking up all the way though it.
haha oh shit i have been looking for this movie for ages!!! is the song on here, when your stoned take a toke its no joke when your stoned gettin high you can fly haha ,that song always cracks me up its so 80s cheese.
It was shows like this that made me START smoking dope back in the 70's.....LOL!!!
Thanks for the post.... I haven't seen this damn thing in at least 30 years I guess. I remember laughing my ass off the whole time I was watching it.
