Seen in Uncut version on Dutch DVD
An interesting mix with the makers trying to incorporate the punk gang violence of Class of 1984 with the classroom dancing of Fame, sprinkled with 80's AOR by John Farnham. And of course the obligatory shower nude scene with cat fight.
It tries to be everything but ends up being unsatisfactory on most counts. The infamous rape scene is a catalyst to the violence but it seems strange that they chose a girl who looked 15 years younger than the rest i.e 16 ! Seriously though, there is a feeling of titillation that leaves a sour taste here and could have been handled so much better.
Overall, for school gang violence try Class of 1984, for classroom dancing try Fame, for revenge try Deathwish, for titillation just grab a porno.
I wouldn't bother with Savage Streets and consign it to deleted/OOP status so collectors can pay $$$ for a second rate movie.
