Midnight Madness (1980)

[JabarR]

I wanna dedicate this thread to one of the greatest 80s cult films of all time

Originally released in 1980 by Walt Disney Productions, the film gained a huge cult following on HBO and The Movie Channel. The movie is about a guy named Leon (Alan Solomon) and his lovely assistants Candy (Debi Richter{Hot Moves, Cyborg}) and Sunshine (Kristen Baker {Friday The 13th, Part 2}) who set out to find five people:

Adam (David Naughton {An American Werewolf In London, Makin' It and My Sister Sam})

Harold (Stephen Furst {National Lampoon's Animal House})

Wesley (Eddie Deezen {Grease, Dexter's Laboratory})

Donna (Maggie Roswell {The Simpsons})

Lavitus (Brad Wilkin)

to form teams and participate in his new scavenger hunt game, "The Great All-Nighter", where each team will receive a clue, which takes them to a certain location all over Los Angeles.

Laura - Adam's love interest (Debra Clinger {The Krofft Supershow})

Can't lie to you on that!

I first heard of this film on Spill.com on one of their podcasts. They said it was really funny and almost unreal of a film because it's a raunchy teen comedy produced by Disney.

That and I love the late 70's - early 80's era for some odd reason.

I first saw the film in 1986 on the Movie Channel and I had searched for it since. I had it on DVD a couple of years back, now I want another copy of it real bad.

I loved this movie when I was a kid! It was on HBO all the time. It still think of it every time I hear Pabst Blue Ribbon.
