SAVAGE STEVE HOLLAND'S THIRD FILM 'HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE'

Savage Steve Holland is an underrated/underused director, and yet, just about everyone knows of his first two films. Both starring John Cusack as a frustrated teenage cartoonist, BETTER OFF DEAD and ONE CRAZY SUMMER are character-driven cult classics...<br />
<br />
In Holland’s third and final theatrical release, HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE, about a lovelorn teenager attempting to con his way into higher education, the titular plot keeps Savage Steve from providing the usual frantic anything-goes adventure as Corey Parker, who transformed pretty well into a geeky private in BILOXI BLUES, provides decent comedy chops but lacks Cusack's universal every-kid charm, as well as the ability to headline an entire movie, comedy or otherwise. The signature Savage animation is replaced by two doomed goofballs stuck in dire situations, from being surrounded by sharks to skydiving, part of "Stress Questions" Parker can’t answer on his S.A.T. test. Sadly there are no David Lee Roth numbers here (Holland was Dave's stock video director and previously used his solo tunes, plus one by Roth-era Van Halen, in the first two of this Gen-X "teen trilogy" of sorts).<br />

A pre-famous future TWIN PEAKS and WAYNE'S WORLD starlet Lara Flynn Boyle is a beautiful brain who yearns to attend the same coveted University, As the apple of Corey Parker’s eye, their romance blossoms without any struggle. And this quirky soup has way too many cooks...<br />
<br />
Anthony Edwards and a group of competing admission officers distract from our hero’s plight. Worthy enough as side-characters, the grownups have so much screen time that the underdog theme gets lost in the mix. Yet despite its flaws, COLLEGE tries with a big heart. Plus it features the extraordinary cute BETTER OFF DEAD Diane Franklin's cameo as Richard Jenkins' (Parker's dad's) young trophy wife. Prepare to be envious. <br />

Although meriting one of the greatest opening credit sequences after a 
two minute trailer that seems separate but is actually part of the film 
that has a complete list of credits on its own, this misleading but 
gloriously fun mess isn't a biker movie but a low-budget spy thriller.<br />

A
 handsome agent meanders from one situation to another seeking out 
neo-Nazis, bedding down babes and being chased by lethal goons, and the 
biker aspect is connected by a sexy woman who, after talking on various 
pay phones after each spy sequence, will then converse with, and give 
orders to, four bikers: part of the titular gang (led by Robert Dix) 
shown sporadically roaring down the highway. And on the spy side are various
 scenes with Broderick Crawford, Scott Brady, John Carradine, and the 
James Bond character played by a fittingly-suave cool-cat, John Gabriel.<br />
<br />
If you center solely on the original movie, THE FAKERS, from which the 
biker stuff was pasted on after this film was abandoned and retitled 
HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS,  it can be an entertaining, and often involving, 
exploitation fluff that only director Al Adamson could provide. But if 
you want to see a biker movie meant <i>only</i> as a biker movie, check out 
Adamson's cult classic <a href="http://www.cultfilmfreaks.com/2012/08/satans-sadists.html">SATAN'S SADISTS</a> starring HELL'S BLOODY alumni Gary Kent, 
Robert Dix and Scott Brady<i>. </i><br />
