Different take on cheerleader exploitation

This is an apparent late 1970's film about a group of "high school" cheerleaders travelling by bus whom gets stopped by a few kidnapped in former football players wanting to use these cheerleaders as some sort of prize. The topic is quite serious but there is a bit of light heartedness along the way.The acting isn't too bad as there are a lot of women cheerleaders displayed. It is certainly more of a feature film than a straight softcore though of course there are few scenes of explicit nudity (including a lengthy "beauty contest" scene as one of the highlights with several cheerleaders forced to strip and prance around- roughly around the 39:00 marker). Then the brief bathroom scene with the nurse and one cheerleader (44:10).The conclusion finale heist scene involving the elevator and how things were set up with the ransom money was well done and quite intriguing. A little bit flawed such as how did they know to get the same exact paper bag as the hostages.In the end it's a decent enjoyable drama comedy for what's it's meant to serve.

Mixed Poisons

This movie seems to combine the 70's drive-in fascination with the Patty Hearst kidnapping with its fascination for sexy cheerleaders. Three squads of cheerleaders are on their way to a competition and for some reason are sharing a single school bus (even though one is a tough, inner-city squad and another is from an elite private school) when they are all kidnapped and held for ransom by a group of ex-jocks who call themselves the National American Liberation Army. There's the usual sexploitation filler--the captors and the cheerleaders kill time by having a topless beauty contest, lead Kristine DeBell has (offscreen) sex with the good guy kidnapper,and the lone female kidnapper (who is of course a lesbian) seduces one of the other girls in a bathtub. Finally, the three teams ban together to fight back, which mainly involves a long, gratuitous scene where they all strip off their underwear and fashion it into a rope which they use to trip one of the kidnappers. (Someone could have just stuck her foot out, but where's the fun in that?)This movie is surprisingly politically incorrect. The black kidnapper is the bad guy while the handsome white kidnapper turns out to be a sympathetic good guy. Still it's refreshing to actually see a black villain for a change and he's the best actor in the movie next to Kristine DeBell. DeBell, of course, was the talented and appealing actress whose career was ruined when it was found out that she had earlier appeared in a porno movie (strangely, a similar thing happened to untalented boob-job Michelle Bauer, but that didn't stop her from going on to appear in 500 low-budget movies that were even worse than her early porno efforts--go figure). This is neither the best of the cheerleader movies (try "The Swinging Cheerleaders", "The Pom-Pom Girls", or "Satan's Cheerleaders")nor the best of the Patty Hearst/kidnapping movies (try "The Candy Snatchers", "Sweet Sugar" or "Abduction"), but if you like mixing your poisons, by all means, check it out.
