When a businessman (Joe Don Baker) threatens to close down their beloved video arcade, a group of teens to fight for their rights in this dumb T&A comedy also known as Video Madness. Jefferson Bailey (S. McGinnis) is in charge of his Grandfather's video arcade and plays strip video gaming with the many "attractive" young women that frequent the place. Jon Gries Is King Vidiot, a video game obsessed punk who dresses like Sid Vicious and travels with a pack of female groupies. It features loads of great retro arcade games including Battle Zone and Defender, and Midway Games allowed the image of Pac-Man to be used in the film. They also allowed the filmmakers to showcase Satan's Hollow and the unreleased Super Pac-Man during the film's climactic video game showdown.
