I was 20 and partying at the drive-in when I first saw it in the summer of '82. We all got a huge kick out of it then, and it still holds up now.

The girls in the whorehouse were pretty much disposable.

Everyone has a happy ending, (well, except Melvin P. Thorpe,) but what happens to those women?
