    • Trivia
      The film was released on DVD for the first time in 2012. The Sony Pictures Choice Collection, similar to the Warner Bros. Archives, features DVD-R recorded versions of cult films that are not popular enough for wide release.
    • Goofs
      Although the movie showing, "Disaster '76", is an obvious spoof designed specifically for the film, the likelihood of a first-run movie appearing at a small town drive-in the same year that it premiered would not be likely.

    Solid comedy of the small-town South with good attention to detail

    I have not seen this film since its cable run in the mid-1970s, but I still occasionally enjoy a private laugh when I think about it. The filmmakers clearly had a good eye for the details of small southern towns (the setting was Texas, but it would have been just fine for my native Tennessee). There is an early scene at a classic roller rink, where the dough-faced, slack-jawed teens used as extras were just perfect for the parts.

    As mentioned by other reviewers, the movie-within-the-movie, DISASTER '76, is a solid parody worth watching just by itself. If a DVD is ever made (unlikely, I'm sure), DISASTER '76 should be included by itself as an extra.

    7 out of 10.
