There's shakin', quakin' and plenty of booty to be enjoyed when the perky gals from Aloha High School shimmy their groove things in this red-hot sequel to The Cheerleaders. Rainbeaux Smith (from the first film) is back ... and pregnant!

Absolutely brilliant
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
When a greedy jerk land developer threatens to raze Aloha High School to make room for a shopping center and force the affluent California-based educational institution to merge with a nearby vocational school the five members of the Aloha High cheerleader squad resort to various drastic tactics (e.g., spiking the cafeteria spaghetti with booze and grass) in order to thwart the guy. That's about it for the admittedly flimsy plot -- and frankly who honestly cares about some stinking useless no-good story? What truly matters is if this darling delivers the expected blithely lowbrow drive-in exploitation trash goods. I'm happy to say that it does.Jerii Woods (one of the black revolutionaries in Jack Hill's immortal "Switchblade Sisters"), a pregnant, pot-bellied Rainbeaux Smith (Rainbeaux at one point does a truly startling pre-Demi Moore bun-in-the-oven nude scene!), Susie Elene, July '76 "Penthouse" Pet Helen Lang, and especially the gorgeous, slender, apple-cheeked blonde cutie pie Patrice Rohmer all disrobe quite often so they can show off their sexy, sensuous, sizzling smoking hot stuff. A pre-stardom David Hasselhoff makes an enormous fool of himself as "Boner," a totally sex-crazed cretin who earns his name from his perpetually raging insatiable libido. Hardcore Hasselhoff haters will find his constant embarrassingly imbecilic antics hugely amusing, but I must warn everyone: lanky and ungainly Dave actually shows a lot more of his then scrawny stringbean body here then he ever displayed in a single episode of "Baywatch" (yuck!).Neither Richard Lerner's merely competent direction nor Nathaniel Dorsky's rather static cinematography are particularly impressive, but overall this one makes the grade with flying freaky day-glo colors: the gratuitous nudity and soft-core sex is pleasingly abundant (one sequence with an Asian girl burying her nose in a dippy blonde dude's butt is genuinely shocking), the gleefully witless humor shows not a slight iota of sophistication (meaning it's frequently funny in a wonderfully raunchy and ridiculous sort of way), there's no less than four uproariously pathetic'n'protracted disco dance sequences (Dorky Dave's jerky, spasmodic, highly arrhythmic sub-John Travolta boogie woogie moves are an absolute gut-busting riot to behold), John Sterling's catchy, poppy, slow-grinding oh-so-70's synthesizer and wah-wah guitar heavy score really hits the funky spot, and magician/actor Carl Ballantine of "McHale's Navy" fame has a nice bit as the doddery old principal. Patrick Wright, the lecherous macho man football coach in "The Cheerleaders," has a nifty cameo as a stuffy cop and served as the assistant director. Okay, we're not talking work of cinematic art here. But I still totally dug this outrageously awful picture just the same. Besides, there's no way I'm going to be too hard on a flick that uses elaborately gaudy wipes and dissolves in order to cut from one scene to another and boasts one of the greatest glaring continuity errors in dimestore cinema history: two mysterious brunette girls who are never clearly established as secondary characters magically appear out of nowhere to cut the rug with the rest of the gang in those previously cited absurdly atrocious disco dance sequences!
Oh God, this movie is so BAD !!! I'm just 20, I haven't known the 70's and I of course don't remember the 80's, but Geez when I watch such movies, I just can't stop wondering what is wrong with those people ????? So first, that movie has absolutely no scenario. It's just some random students who are just goofing around recklessly. They're not interested in school and the cheerleaders are the boss of the school actually The way it's showed is totally far-fetched and unrealistic. And to make it worse, the second part of the movie unveils a crummy action movie with cheerleaders as heroes. COME ON !!!! I found out about that movie on here. I just searched for a cheerleader movie. I also found the GREAT "the cheerleaders" movie (1973) which is really good compared to that one. This "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" is a bizarre film but too bizarre. I found it very BORING. They're always singing, dancing, yelling, having fun Gosh, you just wanna punch them in the face sometimes. It shows cheerleaders as brainless dummies.Then, it says "comedy". I never laughed. Wait, I laughed only once it was when the cops arrested the two naked cheerleaders, asked the put their hands up on the car, and he started feeling them up as if he was searching for some weapons or something. That was funny. So this movie is supposed to be some mix of porn and comedy but come on, I prefer the sex gags of "the cheerleaders" (1973).So seriously, I don't advise this movie to anyone. I don't understand most people positive comments. Maybe it's because I'm not trendy or something. I just think it's long, noisy, boring and pointless. Make yourself your own opinion !!!
Unexpectedly strange sex romp has a gang of horny teens resisting shifty land-developers who plan to raze the local high school and replace it with a shopping mall. This probably should have been a garden variety pea-brained libido comedy, and it does, of course, subsume the compulsory parade of birthday suits and ribald chuckles. A differentia of abstract/surreal touches, however, certify this flick as a "stand alone" oddity...malt-shop analingus...a golf course sand-trap portal to the local high school...an ignominious subito dancing scene...the waitress who refused Jack Nicholson toast in FIVE EASY PIECES...future KNIGHT RIDER stud David Hasselhoff(who probably doesn't talk much about this one). Subtleties, all, but it's just enough to keep the viewer slightly cross-eyed with a crooked grin.All things considered, this is a novelty more weird than legitimately good, but it might be worth a look(if only for the presence of the late, great Rainbeaux Smith, preggers to the max during production).5.5/10
Bizarre doesn't begin to describe this hellaciously bad movie. A curio of it's time, today the film offers almost no entertainment value except as a method of torture to future international celebrity Hasselhoff. Plot, such as it is, concerns a gang of sleazy cheerleaders trying to interfere with school business. This film does not take place in any world that viewers will be familiar with. Aside from the expected older actors playing teens, the story and script are so completely unbelievable that this is nothing more than a reason to show some crude drug jokes and display some supple young flesh. For these reasons alone it will appeal to certain "midnight movie" fans. Cheap is the word that comes to mind in every aspect of the movie. A hefty, blonde-wigged nurse (portrayed by an actress who's had a few bit parts in legitimate films) tries to inject some campy laughs into the mess, but fails. This atrocity was unearthed from certain obscurity when supporting player Hasselhoff hit it big on "Night Rider" and "Baywatch". And why? Because midway through the film, his character is shown in a group shower and for a few frames David, jr. makes an appearance. This is not going to turn many people on since the Hasselhoff from this film is light years away from the tan, built TV star they are all familiar with now. Still, it is amazing to note that in 1970's drive-in-style comedies, female AND male nudity was trotted out in surprisingly large doses while now the human body is all but shut away while viewers are asked to watch explosions, gunplay, knives plunging into people and other malicious acts. Sex, however, is considered taboo! (Which is why a movie like "American Pie" can come along and break records....it returns to a sort of innocent piece of sexual trash like this movie was in it's day...although "Revenge..." is definitely way down on the totem pole!) Another striking thing is the bodies themselves. People weren't as bent on physical perfection and surgically enhanced looks. The girls are naturally presented (one even has hilarious tan lines!) and the guys are just lean, pale "dudes". The movie has curiosity value, but only a VERY patient person will make it through the whole thing unless they were alive during that time. Bad....
