DVD Reviews of Midnight Madness
DVD Review: Always loved this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy when this was re-released....I had it on VHS that I taped off HBO back in the 80's...it was starting to get worn out!
You'll see a few of these actors went on to bigger and better things...a few of them were in the Grease movies, and I think that Michael Wolf or Fox fellow made a few movies/shows also...
DVD Review: Midnight Madness
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife remembered seeing this film back in the early 80's and thought it was one of the funniest movies she had seen as a kid. When my wife told me how zany and hilarious this movie was (and still is) I decided to search for it. After searching for years to find even a VHS tape of this rarely seen or heard of film, it finally became available on DVD through Amazon. I ordered it as soon as I came across it and I am very happy I did.
Although the cover shows a picture of Michael J. Fox implying that he is the main character of the movie he actually only has a small roll to play and doesn't even make an appearance in the film until the middle of the movie. The most notable actor in the film is Stephen Furst who for most people know him as Flounder (from Animal House). The movies other ,sort of, famous actor is Eddie Deezen whose most notably appearances were in 1941 and the cult classic Polish Vampire in Burbank.
The film doesn't really have any extras to speak of which is truly a shame, but despite that small disappointment the movie is still worth getting just for its nostalgia if not for the many laughs through out the movie.
DVD Review: Blast from the past!
Summary: 3 Stars
I had watched this movie when it first came out, I was 4. I have been looking for it for awhile. I loved it. DVD Review: Disney's scavenger hunt
Summary: 3 Stars
In the 1980's, Disney was floundering with its live action films. Disney tried to do a teen scavenger hunt, Disney style.
There are five teams for go on an all night hint. Each team is designated by colors white (nerds who hate green),green (meat machine who hate red), red (sorority sisters who hate green), yellow (good guys who play fair), and blue (cheaters who hate yellow) are given clues to solve, leading them to the next clue site hidden in the city.
It is sugary sweet and stupidly silly, like Disney films strive for...but this one hits the mark badly. You know in most Disney movies, the good guts always win..so there, I spoiled it for you! However if you on a Disney film fan, you already knew the outcome
. David Naughton is the leader of the Yellow team with KId Brother Micheal J Fox in tow. Blue team has Stephen Furst playing an evil version of Flounder.
If you like Disney of the 60s-70s, this film is a college version with a slight grossness that would make Walt turn over in his grave

DVD Review: An 80's Classic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I very first watched this movie, I hated it! I thought it was too long and boring. Sometime later, I watched it again and I loved it! Leon created the Great All-Nighter and picked five college students to pick teams and go on a scavenger hunt throughout the town to find clues that will lead them to the finish line. This has the classic look of the 80's! It's also Michael J. Fox's first movie! I highly recommend MIDNIGHT MADNESS!!!
Description of Midnight Madness
A genius grad student organizes an all-night treasure hunt in which five rival teams composed of colorful oddballs furiously match wits with one another while trying to locate and decipher various cryptic clues planted ingeniously around Los Angeles.Nothing dates a movie quite as much as a roller-skating blonde in white shorts and a tube top. Midnight Madness opens with exactly that and quickly follows with a scene in which a student counselor reassures a romantically nervous freshman with the line, "Flynch, you could be a real Burt Reynolds, I know you could." Ah, nostalgia. Made on the cusp of the '80s, after Animal House but before Porky's, Disney's college comedy gained a considerable following, thanks to countless screenings on HBO during the Reagan administration. Like all the best cult movies, it's awful, but compelling nonetheless. This is a film in which all the nerds look alike, the jocks have names such as Armpit, and you get to see fat twins shake their abundant disco booties. The plot revolves around an all-night scavenger hunt, with five teams of competing students racing around Los Angeles solving clues and getting into all sorts of amusing scrapes, including a visit to the Pabst brewery that will have you humming ancient advertising songs for days. David Naughton, who went on to star in An American Werewolf in London, is our hero, but the real fun comes from Stephen Furst as the mean and chubby rich kid and the legendary ?ber-nerd Eddie Deezen as Wesley. Michael J. Fox makes his film debut as Naughton's troubled but feisty kid brother, and the eagle-eyed viewer may even spot Paul Reubens in a tiny role. Being a Disney film that was released before Porky's made shower scenes an integral part of campus comedies, this is a curiously innocent movie--just watch how long it takes the teams to decipher the clue, "Look between the two giant melons." Nevertheless, Midnight Madness is 112 minutes of undemanding, cheesy fun for anyone who remembers the last days of disco. It makes Animal House look like Chekhov, but watch it with a group of friends, and perhaps a little Pabst Blue Ribbon, and you'll have a hoot. --Simon Leake
