Film Roller-Disco Double Feature: Roller Boogie (1979) & Skatetown USA (1979)

  • Skatetown_large

Strap on your skates, shimmy into a pair of hot pants, and roll-bounce on over to the Castro Theatre for a double dose of heterosexual camp on wheels. Linda Blair, all grown up and Pazuzu-free, stars alongside real-life Canadian skate champ Jim Bray in Roller Boogie as the romantically inclined leaders of a teenage gang of rink rats who're fighting to save their local roller disco. Things heat up even more in Skatetown USA. This not-on–DVD gem has star-wattage in spades: Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormick (yes, Marcia Brady), and main attraction Patrick Swayze, busting out choreography that makes Dirty Dancing look positively clean.
