Harmless fun, 9 April 2003
Author:
rosscinema (rosscinema@comcast.net) from Oceanside, Ca.
Of all the raunchy T&A sex romps made in the seventies and eighties this one is still one of the most popular. A bunch of hot chicks help out Huntz Hall who owns a gas station and of course the competition across the street creates friction when it comes to business so the young lovely's ask their boyfriends to help. As they fix up the place and figure out a way to get customers to show up the girls always find a way of getting naked! How about that? The station across the street is trying to put them out of business. The comedy is not really funny and the whole story is rather hokey but its done with its heart in the right place. How can you hate a film where young girls are trying to save an old mans gas station and get naked? I can't! Veterans Joe E. Ross (Ooo!Ooo!) and Mike Mazurki show up and you cant help but smile as these old pro's add some levity with their experience. Stupid? Yeah, I guess. Silly? Sure! But its harmless fun. Definitely for adults but lower your high brow when you watch this.

Not Gone With The Wind, not intended to be either, 12 November 2007
Author:
metalrox_2000 from United States
Okay, for some reason, the lead in the film belts into song before the
end. You have the guys roaming around dressed like the T-Birds from
Grease, seemingly out of place. You have a lot a great T%A, and a plot,
that, well, has been done before.
Gas Pump Girls, much like Incoming Freshman, and much of the 1970's sex
comedy drive in flicks, are in their own category. They aren't meant to
be the greatest film ever made. They are made on the cheap, and to
entertain, and they do just that. I'm willing to bet that one reviewer
who commented on this film has never seen it. Gas Pump Girls is a great
sex comedy, better then any of the sex comedies made to. The ones made
today go direct to DVD, and seem to have a cookie-cutter direction to
them. You can merge one to the other.
That's different from Gas Pump Girls, Incoming Freshman, or H.O.T.S.
The plots may have been the same, but there were always suttle
differences. I really wish these flicks, these lost 70's gems, would
find their way to DVD.

Decent exploitation film almost has the right parts., 23 February 1999
Author:
Jason C. Atwood from Suffolk, Virginia
How could any nut forget GAS PUMP GIRLS? This one possibly started the light "exploitation comedies" that flowed into the early 80s mainstream. It appears that all the dirty filth invading theater screens since then suddenly gave way to this picture that PORKY'S would later follow. You'll most likely expect the home video version being drastically cut of any excessive garbage, but what's the difference? Don't be surprised to find this one fairly delightful, very amusing, and less profane, because that's the way films like this should be. Still "adults only" fun, but not at the extreme (unless an uncut edition surfaces!). I hate how movies like this offer a plot where "getting revenge" hampers an already sweet story of five young girls running shop, so that kind of hurts it. If you're addicted to shot-on-video porn (and I hope not!), this isn't for you. But I know you're honest! GAS PUMP GIRLS, while worth a good night's rent, is a surprisingly overlooked gem that needed greater attention. A fine reference of cult moviedom. Check out the video box cover and see for yourself!

A drive-in classic from the late 1970's, 10 April 2008
Author:
mdavidsonuk from United Kingdom
I first saw Gas Pump Girls (originally to be called Super Duper Service Station) at a drive-in theater in Dublin, Georgia during the summer of 1979. I went to see it mainly for Kirsten Baker, who had previously appeared on the 1970's t.v. series, James at 16. She was last seen in Friday the 13th Part 2 as one of the camp counselors. I briefly owned Gas Pump Girls on VHS video and it has just recently been released on DVD. I have the DVD and after scanning through it, I must say that the quality could have been a whole lot better. Anyway, the film itself is fun and really nothing more than that. It is nice to see the old veteran actors, Huntz Hall, Joe E. Ross and Mike Mazurki. A few of the other actors, such as Ken Lerner, went on to more respectable efforts. Apparently there was even a soundtrack album released from the film!! I'll bet that it is a very rare find these days and would be worth some money now. If you want to see a film that is a painless 90 or so minutes of pretty girls, a bit of topless nudity, some juvenile hijinks and some last performances by a few old veterans, then check out Gas Pump Girls.

Cult Classic of the 80's, 23 January 2003
Author:
jmburkard from Seattle, WA
Are you in the mood for a movie like Grease? Well, unfortunately this is not it. The soundtrack is very Saturday Night Fever, however the movie itself sets the tone for the rest of the decades achievements Animal House and Porky's. Okay so the acting isn't great. The girls are hot, there's nudity and there's even a guy named Pee Wee(Porky's character) in it. Overall I'd say if your going to rent some B movie this is one to give a shot.

Simultaneously stupid, fun and good, 5 March 1999
Author:
scootrah from Seattle
How can you not love a disco teen exploitation film about five girls running a gas station - and it's a MUSICAL to boot! The songs are ridiculous and the plot is too, but it's not so predictable that there aren't a few amusing moments. I've seen bigger mainstream pictures with lots of critical acclaim that were complete crud - at least this can top the best of the worst.

Frothy fun, 27 January 2003
Author:
John Seal from Oakland CA
Aside from some gratuitous topless scenes and a few double entendres, Gas Pump Girls is a surprisingly sweet little film about five teenage girls, their boyfriends, and a goofy motorcycle gang taking on the big bad Pyramid Petroleum Company in beautiful downtown Sacramento. The talents of old timers Huntz Hall, Joe E. Ross, and Mike Mazurki are sadly wasted, but the film manages to provide 90 minutes of relatively painless entertainment. Even the wretched original songs work in the post-Grease context of this low budget musical comedy. "Ooo wah ooh wah...ooh wah ooh wah...your mother is an ooo wah" indeed!

Gas Pump Girls is a little amusing but mostly lame teen sex comedy, 10 June 2009
Author:
tavm from Baton Rouge, La.
Just watched this Drive-In Teen Sex Comedy on Hulu as linked from fancast.com. It has some amusing turns by veteran comic actors Huntz Hall, Joe E. Ross ("Oooh! Oooh?"), and Mike Mazurky. It has a serviceable song sung by Kirsten Baker (who I just found out was also in California Dreaming though I didn't recognize her from there). And it has plenty of T and A that makes ones hormones go crazy not to mention some double entendre remarks concerning the pump from a couple of the girls that are worth a few chuckles. But most of the material here is just lame and the last dramatic sequence where Ms. Baker cries is just painful to watch. Still, if you're curious enough, Gas Pump Girls is worth a look. P.S. I noticed one of the motorcycle gang as Ken Lerner who I remember as Principal Doug Flutie on the first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". And that Hall's gas station is Chevron with the "C" and "r" removed and one red bent stripe only.

"Joe's" is still there, "Pyramid" has been torn down!, 24 November 2002
Author:
Alan Smithee from United States
Just watched this on laserdisc and loved it! When I saw that this was filmed in Sacramento, where I live, I went to the actual location (which is easy to find since the street signs are visible in the movie) and saw the old run-down place is STILL standing, it is now a CA Recycling Center. The big station across the street was torn down and paved over though! I need to find the soundtrack album now, the disco music in this is great!
Good 70's drive-in fun, 27 August 2012
Author:
Mike K. from Zuma Beach California
Pretty much a typical 1970's drive-in feature with cute girls,cool
cars,good music and some nudity. A foxy girl's uncle gets sick so she
gets her hot girlfriends to help her run his gas station in half cut
t-shirts and short shorts. The station starts doing well so naturally
the mob run gas station across the street doesn't like this at all and
hijinks ensue. If you enjoy these kinds of films this one is worth
watching.Not much humor but the acting is better than most these type
of films and its very watchable.
Gas was .79 cents a gallon in this film,which along with the girls and
the cars really makes me long for the 70's.
