The Swinging Cheerleaders 1974

Director Jack Hill (Coffy) is at it again! This time it’s his first picture since breaking free from B-movie producer Roger Corman, who produced some of Jack Hill’s earlier work such as The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage, Coffy and Foxy Brown. This time Hill presents the film under his own company name Centaur Release.  Jo Johnston, Rainbeaux Smith, Colleen Camp and Rosanne Katon are the hot beauties starring in this hilarious tale of campus life. A reporter for the campus paper The Underground goes undercover to expose female exploitation in their contemporary society.  She finds out she is in over her head/covers (however you look at it) in this world of pompoms and blockhead jocks where corruption ensues.  Welcome to the drive-in era - one of the 70’s greatest subversive favorites. The Swinging Cheerleaders fits in to the B-movie category but it is a fun movie to watch and the girls are easy to look at.  Playboy Playmate Rosanne Katon (Bachelor Party), Colleen Camp (Wayne’s World, Die Hard With A Vengeance) the late Rainbeaux (Cheryl) Smith (Caged Heat) and Jo Johnston never acted again.  Also co-starring Ric Carrott, Ian Sander and Bob Minor (Foxy Brown, Coffy).  This one is very rare.  True fans of Jack Hill’s daring film making will enjoy………you know who you are.
