... cashes in on a the counterculture movement and a real-life clash between wild youth and Los Angeles cops with a fairly square story of the generation gap.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

By 1967, the campiness inherent to youth-runs-wild exploitation cinema had gained a rough edge; Mimsy Farmer's acid freakout dance here may be more Lola Falana than Timothy Leary, but it leads to her gang rape.

Rated: 3/4

Sunset strip, drugs, music, rebels and cops! Soundtrack includes best Californian 60s punkers bands: Standells and Chocolate Watchand. I'm a devote collector of original 60s garage 45s... it can't be a different rating.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Drive-In 'Hippiexploitation film' with no discernable merit except the appearance of 2 west coast psych-bands:'The Standells'&'The Chocolate Watch Band'.
