Rock 'n' Roll High School is a prime example of a '70s movie phenomenon: a cult film that was deliberately designed to be a cult film. High-schooler
Riff Randell's (
P.J. Soles) efforts to meet
the Ramones are continually thwarted by
rock-&-roll-hating principal
Miss Togar Mary Woronov.
Miss Togar is the zealous sort who conducts experiments on laboratory rats to prove the adverse effect of
rock music on innocent teenagers.
Riff knows that she'll have to be twice as clever and devious as
Togar to get her daily supply of
Ramones -- and thereby hangs our tale. A secondary plot involves the efforts of the men's-bathroom-stationed matchmaker
Eaglebauer Clint Howard to arrange a date for high-school jock
Tom Roberts (
Vincent Van Patten). An anarchistic climax caps this
spoof of '50s R&R
musicals.
