But let's not forget Gene Kirkwood, the future ROCKY producer who was Mimsy Farmer's third-wheel buddy in HOT RODS and is Laurie Mock's pal in RIOT. Basically, the teenage girls are in reverse. Add to that Mickey Rooney's son, Tim, rounding out the rebellious teens while in HOT RODS, Mickey Rooney Jr.'s band plays in the third act...<br>
