Just for the Hell of It: A violent gang of teenage miscreants terrorize their city with a rash of cruel practical jokes, vicious assaults, and random vandalism. When one of the hoods threatens an upstanding young man named Doug (Rodney Bedell), the gangs leader Dexter (Ray Sager) nixes the fight. Some time before, Doug came to Dexters aid during a street brawl, so he feels that he owes him a break, but only one. Doug isnt intimidated by the gang and doesnt shrink from a confrontation when he catches them bullying a group of children. With Dexters obligation met, the gang begins a campaign of harassment that targets Dougs girlfriend Jeanie (Agi Gyenes), and the violence quickly escalates beyond control. ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide Blast-Off Girls: Boojie Baker (Dan Conway) is an unscrupulous ock band manager who loses the group hes handling when they confront him about his larcenous business dealings. Undeterred, the arrogant Baker picks out a new band: an unsuccessful group of guys on the verge of breaking up. He promises them wine and women as long as they provide the song, along with a 50 percent cut of the take. Renamed The Big Blast and outfitted in snazzy outfits, Baker guides them to success with the help of his stable of sexy young go-go girls, who seduce promoters and record executives, and stage elaborate Beatlemania-style scenes. Though The Big Blast hit the charts, theyre frustrated by their lack of dough and attempt to go out on their own, which prompts Baker to arrange a phony pot bust to draw them back into his camp. But the band has imploded, fighting each other and unwilling to practice, so when Baker sets up an important network television appearance, disaster is imminent and the sinister manager gets his just desserts. Fried chicken entrepreneur Harland Sanders makes a brief cameo as himself in this sleazy look at ock rolls seamy underbelly. ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

BLAST OFF GIRLS is a garage band blast!
By George GriggsVerified Reviewer from Haverstraw, NY on 12/31/2007
Pros:
Engaging Characters, Entertaining
Describe Yourself:
Movie Buff
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Filmed in 1967, stars two genuine,REAL garage bands: "Charlie", a raw garage combo,and the band "Faded Blue". The film is almost too good to be true. Both bands pass through the greedy hands of crooked manager Boojie Baker.

"Faded Blue" are on display thoughout this movie: live, in the studio, rehearsing, and even doing some real acting. They're wonderful, and Blast Off is the garage rock Citizen Kane.
