I was 14 and lived down the street from where this was filmed. I used to walk by the filming everyday on my way home from school. The actors (yes ,Kirsten) were very cool and took the time to talk to the local kids. In fact, Kirsten told me that the name under consideration was Super Duper Garage at the time. The Pyramid station across the street was actually built just for the film. They built it and tore it down right after the filming. The city is actually not Sacramento as is thanked in the credits, but Del Paso Heights. The station is located on the corner of Arcade Blvd and Marysville Blvd. The scene where they ride the motorcycles down the street was filmed farther down the same street the station is on near where it crosses El Camino Blvd. Overall it is a pretty crappy film (4), but for those that live by the shooting location it is now the only and probably will always be the only movie ever shot in the city. Nostalgic to say the least (9). Good times.

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.

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.

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!

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 late '70s drive-in movie about a group of sexy girls who decide to save their uncle's ailing gas station by putting their bodies on the line, making mini skirts with halter tops that they remove whenever a crisis arises, such as when mobsters arrive and try to kill them. Their feminine charms work so well that soon business is booming.

The movie opens with a scene that sets the tone for the rest of the picture: at a graduation ceremony, a gang of greasers (the vultures) snag the girls' gowns on a nail so that when they step forward the material, which is apparently made out of crepe paper, rips off, and of course the girls are all wearing next to nothing underneath.

This modest tone, one of bawdy humour, is not upheld throughout the movie's runtime. The movie seriously falters toward the end, as I guess the screenwriters ran out of excuses to show nudity, or much else to advance the already pretty thin plot. I never believed that the girls and their friends would go to any length to save the old man's gas station. He isn't particularly charismatic when you meet him, and there's no chemistry between him and the main character.

I liked her, though. She's very pretty with her blonde hair and blue eyes. The only nudity from her is right at the beginning of the movie, in the gown-tearing sequence.

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.

It wasnt half bad. SANDY Johnson's breasts were amazing. God I hate Father Time. Rikki Marins buttocks were very nice. I can see why old Cheech scooped that up. This is definitely worth a watch.

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.

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.

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!

This movie begins with 3 members of a local motorcycle gang known as "the Vultures" playing a trick on some high school students during their graduation. Later that night a man named "Uncle Joe" (Huntz Hall) has a mild heart attack and as a result cannot operate his local gas station because of it. Fortunately, his niece, "June" (Kirsten Baker) comes up with a plan to invite her high school friends to help run it while Uncle Joe is recovering. What none of them realize however is the extent at which a new service station across the street has ruined Uncle Joe's business. And the owner of the new gas station, "Mr. Friendly" (Dave Shelley) has no intention of allowing anybody to interfere with his profits. What Mr. Friendly doesn't count on is the ingenuity of June furthered by the Vultures when they decide to join her team. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is the kind of grade-B film which could have only been produced in the 70's with the music, hair styles and everything else clearly standing out. Yet in spite of the obvious low-budget, extremely simple plot and poor acting, the movie itself wasn't too bad all things considered. What I found most enjoyable was that the humor was so basic and corny that it was actually funny--in a weird sort of way. Likewise, having a couple of cute young actresses like Linda Lawrence (as "Betty") along with the aforementioned Kirsten Baker certainly didn't hurt either. That said, while this film clearly isn't a good picture by any means, it wasn't that bad either and because of that I have rated it as just slightly below average.

Plot-- a bunch of sexy gals, boyfriends and a cycle gang take over a failing gas station and run competition against the powerful station owner across the street. So guess who's got the advantage.

Too bad my highschool graduation wasn't like the movie's dress-dropping ceremony. Then maybe I wouldn't have had to get drunk after the long boring speeches. And, oh wow, what a great bunch of gas station cuties whose tops sort of come and go, while the shorts cling tighter than their shapely skins. And guess who stands out front the station to get drivers' attention-- I'll be pulling in any second now. OK, the flick's not exactly a cerebral exercise, but I do like the way the youngsters unite to make a go of their gas pump enterprise, sort of like talent at the grassroots . Plus, it ain't easy since they're up against faceless big business pulling strings behind the station across the street. And get a load of Mr. Friendly who runs the station across from them. He's about as friendly as a kick in the pants, with a mug ugly ennough to rattle a statue.

Anyway, good to see old timer Huntz Hall picking up a payday after all those years with Leo Gorcey and the Bowery Boys. All in all, the fick could have used tighter editing and snappier direction; nevertheless it's a fun way to pass an evening, especially for the guys. Meanwhile, I'll be checking out my neighborhood for a Joe's where I can at last 'fill 'er up' the way I've always wanted to!

This is supposedly a comedy, I didn't laugh once. Dreadful script and dumb story. One chick sings a song, and I thought it was going to be a musical! The soundtrack is an abomination. Some painful character performances.

Let's see, 3 stars. Linda Lawrence is a knockout, and Sandy Johnson breaks out her gorgeous "assets" probably more than anyone. Yes, a completely worthless film with a little eye candy.

The film never picks up any pace and stalls throughout. The star Kirsten Baker is the reason I saw the film. She was so good in Friday the 13th part 2 and good to look at. She is useless in this film and gives maybe the worst performance in history. There is a scene at the beginning where all the girls graduation gowns get ripped off, but that's the only nudity in the movie. There are these three biker guys that always hang around. When the bikers go to the beach they wear a swimsuit, leather boots?, and a leather jacket? What the hell? There is also a dance scene with on the of the bikers and the stuck-up girl. It is hilarious. 2/10 Bad

Really, this is a very tame, innocent sexploitation movie from 1979, and because it sets it sights realistically low with the material and talent involved - is way more fun that what it might have been otherwise. From one of the opening scenes involving a prank where a bunch of graduation gowns are ripped off the lovely graduates at a small school - all blonde with real nice breasts to the end, Gas Pump Girls has heart if nothing else. Well, there are plenty of the aforementioned breasts and tightly-packed buns in short shorts too. The story is incredibly simple. A bigger, better, more elite gas station opens up next to Joe's gas station - a small, independent operation by none other than Bowery Boy legend Huntz Hall himself. One of the perky blondes is his niece and when he has health problems, she comes up with an idea to use sex to sell gas....not the act of sex but rather girls in skimpy outfits and no bras filling up, etc... That really is it except for one scene with Sandy Jonson and one of the male graduates in a car getting its brakes fixed getting, how shall we say, a head start on the action if you will. The movie never gets nasty or offensive. For a movie like this it is what I would call a G sexploitation movie in spirit.

Gas Pump Girls, for what it is, is rather fun. You know what to expect before you start watching, and I was pleasantly surprised by some minor comedic touches by legend Huntz Hall and other cameos by Joe E. Ross and Mike Mazurki as contract killers. Dave Shelley as the competing gas station manager Mr. Friendly seems to have the most fun chewing up scenery, but before we get too lost here - the film is about the four or five girls who run around either bare-breasted a good deal of the film or in those lovely short shorts. They are the stars if you will, and none of them stand out better than Sandy Johnson from H.O.T.S and Halloween(as Judith Myers) fame. A joy to behold for sure. The music soundtrack is interesting and even at one point one of the girls just breaks out singing a song. It is what it is. The deejay on the radio throughout is Cousin Brucie.

"Gas Pump Girls" is a guilt-free watch. There's a lot of dreamy girls and a nice bit of nudity. There are a few surprise cameos. The story is fine as are the corny jokes. This movie is all about the girls and they are worth the visit.

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.

1st watched 12/13/2009 – 1 out of 10 (Dir-Joel Bender): Extremely lame titillation comedy with hardly anything redeemable that I can think of. A lame idea, with a lame cast, lame songs, and even lame in the sex appeal department. The basic storyline is about two rival gas stations – one falling apart and owned by the uncle of a recent high-school grad(played by Huntz Hall of the bowery boys fame). The other newer station – is making the bucks and the young girl feels sorry for the uncle after he encounters some health problems and gets her tight-clothed girlfriends and their bozo boyfriends along with the local thugs to bring it back to life. Of course, there are a few bare breasts and the typical teenage pranks you'd expect in this kind of a movie but there's also a song and a dance number!!(oh, boy…) Of course, the tight-clothed girls save the day--- kind of, before it's all over. Why MGM studios financed this piece of trash is beyond me, but I guess they were trying to cash in on the teenage sex comedy craze of the 80's. This has to be one of the worst even of that group – believe it or not. I just hope those involved with this have better things to remember themselves for besides this. Well, I guess Huntz does as one of the bowery boys.

Um, this is the worst movie I've ever seen. Satch, Tootie, Cousin Brucie, just goes to show you it aint over til its over. Needed twice as much nudity, no three times as much, and the musical number could have been omitted. In conclusion, Cousin Brucie is a loser and so is this. The playmate, Michael Myers sister from Halloween, she's hot.

The film largely lacked any 'so bad, it's good' moments; other than a startling musical number that had me rolling and was never mentioned again. Essentially, main girl's creepy Uncle fakes a heart attack and is about to lose his failing gas station. Main girl responds by getting her and her hot friends to run the gas station to get her Uncle out of foreclosure. Soon, their boyfriends and a gang of greasers start helping as well while competing with the evil corporate gas station across the street.

At one point, the group of kids have to pretend to be Arabic Oil Tycoons, cops, a harem, and one serious guy with a brief case in order to infiltrate big gas corporation.

WHUT.

A well-made sex comedy although there are not that many sex scenes but there are quite a few naked breasts. It is also a mini-musical so music and singing are present quite often. The acting is quite good. The plot is very ordinary and of course predictable; but you don't watch this film for the plot. In the middle, the story does get stuck for a while and becomes tedious; also the jokes are sometimes very childish.
