"DISCO ROLLERSKATING" TRIPLE FEATURE
Friday JANUARY 27th, 2006
at The Castro Movie theatre in San Francisco, CA

Happy 2006 Maniax!

What better way to kick 2006 off then with a... Triple Feature of Disco Rollerskating films on the gigantic screen of The Castro Theatre! Admission is only $12.00 for all three films, which were all made in 1979, so no need to worry about fake afros or fake cleavage!

7:30pm - Roller Boogie–(1979) Directed by Mark L. Lester
Containing: Linda Blair, Jim Gray, Beverly Garland, James Van. Patten.
A fully matured Linda Blair leads a group of teens as they fight their parents and those damn corporate businessmen from shutting down their local roller rink. Luckily for them (and us), real-life Canadian champion Jim Bray struts his stunning skating skills to epic proportions, while the camera zooms in on a record-breaking amount of short-shorts and bursting cleavage! 103min. 35mm.

9:45pm Xanadu (1980)
Directed by Robert Greenwald
Containing: Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck, Gene Kelly.

You have to believe in magic! 25 years after its release, this roller-skating musical is one of the most wonderfully dated disco-era films ever made! Don't miss yr chance Michael Beck, who played Swan in The Warriors, skate and sing his way through this whiter-than-wonderbread cheesecake fest. Oddly enough, director Robert Greenwald is responsible for the recent poli-documentaries: WALMART and OUTFOXED. 93min. 35mm.

11:59pm
Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979) - Directed by William A. Levey
Containing: Scott Baio, Patrick Swayze, Maureen McCormick, Flip Wilson, Ruth Buzzi, The Unknown Comic.

An all-star cast jam packs this unjustly ignored Disco extravaganza. Scott Baio, Marcia Brady (Maureen McCormick) and Patrick Swayze compete against one another to the bumpin' sounds of The Jacksons, Earth, Wind & Fire, and even a live performance by Dave Mason! High thighs, ample cleavage and glittery beards date this obscure classic with genuine expertise. Swayze's bad-boy on roller-skates is worth the admission alone! (Not available on DVD, VHS, BETA, VCD, LASERDISC, or anything else ever!!) 98min. SUPER RARE 35mm print.
