Skatetown USA 1979


Just discovered this film online and it's gone straight to the top of my download list.
Two rival disco roller skaters in a contest to win $1000 prize money and a Moped!
A very young Patrick Swayze, Maureen McCormick and Scott Baio.

They had me at disco-roller-skate.

    1. Hi Jane! I'm a sucker for Patrick - not only could he dance, act, surf, sing ("She's like the Wind, through my trees...") - but now we know he he could roller disco too! He could do it all man!! Loved him in The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing (of course) and as Bodhi in Point Break! Apparently Gerard Butler has just pulled out of the Point Break remake scheduled to start shooting in June this year. Be interesting to see who they re cast. : ) xx

  4. Just watched trailer - "the greatest show on wheels!", "a celebration of love on wheels" = classic! If the movie is half as funny as the trailer, I'm going to love it! (sounded exactly like the voice-over from Prom Night - disco sound track and all!)
