Minor
punk-girl classic starring Diane Lane as a pissed-off teenager in
a dying Pennsylvania town who launches a garage band called The
Stains with her cousin Laura Dern and sister Marin Kanter. They
end up on tour with a floundering band called the Metal Corpses
(led by Fee Waybill of the Tubes) and Brit punkers the Looters
(including Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols and Paul
Simonon of the Clash). The Stains become heroines to mobs of teen
girls, known for their motto "We Don't Put Out!" The picture
falls just short of outright parody, and the music was so
godawful that Paramount shelved it. Directed by record producer
Lou Adler, of "Up in Smoke" fame, and known for being the screen
debut of future scream queen Debbie Rochon.
