      Lisa is (obviously) not wearing panties when bowling. Panties are visible during the rape scene.
    • Quotes

      Joey: Hey, shit nuts. Your fucking waxer ruined my ball. It's yours now. I want a new one.

      BBK: Alright, first of all, shit-for brains, that area's being remodeled. You ain't even supposed to be over there. And secondly, you're a fucking dip shit. It looks to me like you just pressed down too goddamned hard. You're supposed to let that machine do all the work. I don't see it as a malfunction at the junction boy.

      Joey: Maybe you should open your fucking eyes then, idiot. There's one inch of sharp screw embedded in the bottom. It's fucked. End of story. Now go get me a new fucking ball.

      BBK: Use one of the balls by your lane.

      Joey: Those balls are shitty and used, just like your fucking underwear. Now go get me a goddamned new ball!

      BBK: Hey, calm down now. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Now you be a good boy and go back over to your lane and maybe I'll go over to the store and get you something brand-spanking new. If you're lucky.

      Joey: Lucky? You wanna talk about luck? You're fucking lucky the toilet wouldn't flush when your mom spread her legs and pulled you out with a goddamned coat hanger.

      BBK: You're lucky the buffalo beat me over the fence, otherwise I'd be your daddy.

      Joey: Oh, that's fucking hilarious. Hey, where are you going? You better be going to get my new ball. I got a fucking game to win, no fucking around!

      BBK: Yeah, that's what your mama said.

    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits roll it's shown BBK's identity after every murder scene
    • Alternate versions
      German version was cut by approx. 15 minutes to secure a SPIO/JK approval. For retail outlets, it was necessary to create a version with a FSK "Not under 18" rating, that version lacks approx. 26 minutes.

    Could've been a decent slasher. Just mediocre

    My quick rating - 5,1/10. This is a nice throwback to good old slasher flicks. It has the usual gore and stupid teen age characters. The characters themselves were played over the top and done that way on purpose just to further the nostalgia value. I do have to say that the plot being revenge for a rape thing is fine and has been done before but in this movie, the rape scene is extremely long and quite graphic. It was almost unsettling how long it lasted for and the subject matter didn't help any. This event, which was led up to by your usual two groups of kids not getting along, well, at a bowling alley leads to a killer on the loose. The movie itself does add a bit of twist and tries to keep you guessing who the killer is in usual fashion of presenting the characters in ways of why it could be them. I was entertained by the movie minus the aforementioned rape scene. The kills were not abundant but did not shy away from the splatter of blood. All this carnage leads to a pretty nice ending that I didn't quite see coming which was just a treat as well. If it weren't for the one scene, I would rate this higher so if you don't mind that and enjoy a decent slasher flick, you'll be just fine watching this.
