My wife asked me, "Why would anyone watch this movie?" She doesn't get it. She wasn't around in the 1980's, when we had no internet. She wasn't going through puberty. She'll never understand staying up until 3:15 AM to catch a movie about a Hamburger University and the joy that it can bring.
Russell Proco (Leigh McCloskey, who improbably is also in Argento's Inferno) has been kicked out of multiple schools because he can't stop hooking up. There's a trust fund waiting for him if he can get a diploma. So he picks the one school he knows he can graduate - Buster Burger University.
You know why the 1980's were great? Because Dick Butkus could be in a movie and we all knew exactly who his character was. Here, his job is to beat the hell out of the students so they don't screw up Buster Burger. Everyone has to follow the rules:
Outside consumption of food is prohibited. All candidates are to stay on the grounds of Buster Burger University until graduation. Since sex and success make lousy partners, all candidates are not to engage in sex while students. This is a movie that follows the best formula: just get a bunch of crazy characters together, get them into some insane situations and let the hijinks ensue. Along the way, Russell makes a friend who is obsessed with the CEO's sexy wife (the pneumatic Randi Brooks, who also is in TerrorVision), a nun who for some reason is going to burger school, a sex-crazed guerilla fighter, a soul singer who was arrested and is at the school on work release and so much more.
Where else other than Buster Burger University can you learn to yell things like "Put those cookies back, motherCENSORED," get stuck inside a giant pickle and then have to battle against bikers and cops on your first day of work?
Most amazingly, director Mike Marvin would go on to make a movie that is even less connected to reality, The Wraith.
