You might catch this movie on TV or rent it if you dare. The movie was shot here in Minneapolis and several people got extra work, including Noel Morgan (Final Conflict) and Lori Barbero (Babes In Toyland). So we refered to the movie as "That Was Lori This Is Noel"

Man that was a sorry thing. At the time, I was working with Tony Pucci (Man size Action)
and we called up the clown that was writing the movie and offered him some pointers, since it was to be about Mpls. punk rock.
He wanted the punks all made-up and with crazy hair and clothes, quite contrary to the reality of the situation in the early 80's.
The only hair dye jobs I remember were CJ's tri-colored mohawk, a certain invitation to get beaten up in 1981, Dave's wonderful PIL logo shave-job, and that one guy whose name I can't recall, with all the Brit punk poser clothes. There were various mohawks, but few.

So sorry, must be these decongestants, but I guess I was thinking of that horrid KTCA "movie" "Half-Life". I think it has Mofos and Dark Carnival, though.

Dave Moe from Church Picnic worked as a camera loader on that movie... This was at a time when Emilio Estevez still wasn't a complete loser, coming on the heels of Repo Man. But the movie totally blows

Zantigo's and David Roth all in one website? Why this is too good to be true. I remember being amazed (as a Freshman at West), that anyone would shave something into their head. That boy was ahead of his time I tell ya. A.J.A. often points out that I was a dick though for giving him shit because he cut a hole in his sweatshirt. IF folks remember Roth, do you remember Wayne Olinger dancing to `Rappers Delight' at Anwatin"? Now that was punk rock.

Steve Ferm was not fit to wipe Wayne's ass! Where is Wayne now? I suspect he's turned into the Hugh Hefner of our generation.

Yeah, the movie mostly stinks and it has 'the 80's' written all over it...but it was a fuckin' trip to be in and be a part of. Estevez, not much older me, was cool, Sheaffer and the chick in it now on NYPD Blue were total dicks...big egos from Hollywood. We'd shoot from 6am to 6pm or 6pm to 6am, wired on coffee and other external additives. We were given a 'special-featured extras' title, for being part of the Curly Shepard Gang. The kid from MCAD was Curly and Noel got to be in the fight scene where Estevez beats the shit out of him. The rest of us are in countless scenes (I'm the skinhead that shows up the most); the high school and All-American bowling alley in St.Paul, Uptown and others. Myself, Mark Anton (that's Mark and I throwing each other onto the gym floor in the dance scene) and Chadde Jolicoeur were tight at the time and it was a defining part of the summer. There was Dave Moe, the guy with the wicked mohawk from St.Cloud, Lori & Noel and dozens others who as punks were asked to ourselves for the camera. When Anton and I went to the premier, we realized that outside of photos and our own memories, we'd always have another way to remember our youth in the future.

God that's great stuff. Someone's gotta get Harder Fuller to make a movie about Uptown in the late 70's and early 80's. Call it McPunks or Goofies Upstairs or something like that. Have Steve McLellen (sp?) play the tough as nails father figure while Lori B is the down-to-earth mother/sister who leads us all to the promised land.
Oh, and Tommy Stinson as "The Beaver."

Great shit, RC, thanks for posting the photos.

I remember the shooting the lunchroom scene and having someone from the film come up to me and ask if I could cover up the words "Skull Fuck" along the top and back of my leather jacket. They said it was necessary because of the rating and in the event the film gets to television. I grudgingly agreed and pulled up The Exploited "Punks Not Dead" rag over the words. That cleaned-up version is in RC's photo, and I'm the skinhead sitting in the lunchroom with my back to the camera with "Punks Not Dead" near my shoulders.

Some of that movie was shot on the East side of St paul. A friend of mine lives across the street from the house that they shot the movie in. Cheezy movie, but fun to watch nonetheless.
