Trailer Not on the DVD: Private School (1983, Noel Black)

It's interesting to see how this trailer attempts to position Michael Zorek's Bubba Beauregard as the next Bluto Blutarsky. Didn't quite work out for the success of the film or Zorek's career. The former actor is now better known for parading his young children around to get their pictures snapped with celebrities. It's certainly not the finest moment for Cates, Modine, or director Noel Black who, in what must have seemed like a previous lifetime, directed the superb small-town psychological thriller Pretty Poison. :

Chirashi Files: Private School

Surely not Pretty Poison director Noel Black's finest moment. Though let's give credit where it's due...if made today, you can bet that the infamous shower scene would have been filmed from the shoulders up and Betsy Russell would have rode that horse with a bra on...


Perhaps Orange Road creator Izumi Matsumoto saw this flyer when he conceived his popular '80s anime series, which used Cates as a visual inspiration.
