Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarland Sanders: According to director Herschell Gordon Lewis, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Harland Sanders, whose company supplied Lewis' production company and advertising firm with fried chicken during the filming of this and other movies, insisted on appearing in a cameo at a KFC restaurant located in Wilmette, Illinois. Lewis recalled that Colonel Sanders was very difficult to work with because Sanders made several unreasonable and self-serving demands for, among many things, multiple rehearsals, top-billing, and wanting to direct the scene himself. With Sanders costing time and money, Lewis and his film crew decided to shoot a rehearsal of the scene without telling Sanders that the camera was on at the time. After the filmed rehearsal was finished, Lewis told Sanders that they had to leave to be somewhere to film another scene and lied by claiming they would return to the KFC tomorrow to film, in which finally Sanders left. The entire scenes with Sanders were secretly filmed rehearsals which Lewis noted that they worked OK in the final released film.

Though this movie is not the most exciting rock film in the world, it's entertaining in a hokey sort of way. The band plays some pretty decent garage/psychedelic rock, and they give-off an energetic vibe. There are many scenes in this film, that show the band frolicking merrily outdoors. In this way, the movie is similar to an episode of the Monkees. For those who are nostalgic about the late-60s rock scene, this movie will suffice.
