I loved this movie.I saw it has a double feature with Little Darlings at a Portland,OR drive-in in 1980.There was 8 of us in a baby blue Ford Pinto station wagon.I was 15 at the time,being a hoodlum,both drunk and stoned.We had to watch it twice because our car would not start,so we waited to push the car to the street to get a taxi jump.Great movie!!

WOW!

Over The Edge completely reflected the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1970's.

I LOVED that movie, which never made it to a theater near me, but it did make it to Showtime, and I watched it, repeatedly.

I am pleased to have seen this reunion. Finally, I've been able to see what happened to some of the film's actors.

MESSAGE TO THE ACTORS IN THE FILM: you were naturals. Your acting was perfect. It was wonderful.

THANK YOU!

This movie was an excellent depiction of growing up during the seventies. The events it portrays (drug use, rioting, fighting) could have occurred anywhere.

I was 14 at this time and growing up in Austin,Texas.This is probably the closest you could get to what was going on with that generation.Everybody always said I was Claude!

Over the Edge completely reflected growing up in the Bronx as well during the late 1970's.

I saw this years ago on HBO and now I own it and watch it often. This is almost exactly what I was doing back then..out running cops getting stoned on pot and going to kegs...i would love to go back and do it all over again.

This is awesome! I just reviewed this film and mentioned this video as well. I wish I could have been there.
