The one thing that would have made this seem more realistic


Would have been if they had cast Bill Cosby as a rape counselor. I think this must have been produced for an NBC TV movie of the week originaly because it looks like they reused the same wardrobe from the first few seasons of the Cosby show and Family Ties. But they had to have filmed this mostly in Canada because everyone is wearing jackets or sweaters supposedly in the Valley in the summertime when it's normally 90+ out. Also, I guess they couldn't find enough hispanic and black Canadian actors they needed to make up what an actual LA gang would look like either. But hey, at least the battle scene with the sticks was worth a good laugh. Funny I had forgotten about this movie until it came on ThisTV today, and to think this actually came out just a month before Colors did. Too bad I had forgotten Erik Eleniak was only in it for 10 minutes or I probably wouldn't have suffered through it again all these years later.
