A real story of teenage rebellion

Over The Edge is a 1979 coming of age crime drama about a town full of board rebellious teenagers looking for a good time any way they can find it. But when one of their own is killed by the town's police Sergeant they decide to take action.I had never heard of this movie before until recently, but was very glad I did because it's a pretty good film. The story was intriguing and had authentic characters with a great cast behind them that really helped deliver the story home. Jonathan Kaplan's direction was good and captured quite nicely the frustration and angst that small town living can bring to a young teen with nothing to do.Although maybe not for everybody I really enjoyed this movie and if you haven't seen it before, I would recommend giving it a watch.

I was an extra in this film...

John Evens Jr. High School in Greeley Colorado had a casting call prior to the filming for extras. If I remember right we got 25 dollars for each days work and we got fed.Greeley was pretty much the perfect place for this movie. There was a huge teen violence problem there. even at age 12 I carried a pistol and roamed the city at will with other kids fearing attack from gangs of older teens. Drugs were everywhere.The movie captured all that stupidity plus the Apathy and ignorance of the adults. I loved the scenes where we rioted in the Circus tent styled John Evens Jr. High School......made it hard to attend class the following year.History has proved that the film makers knew what kind of society America would become...Cookie cutter homes,strip malls and teen murderers......Art predicts life.
