Skatetown U.S.A.

In this campy comedy musical, a street-gang leader challenges a handsome young skater to a championship contest at the local roller-disco rink, setting off a rivalry that ultimately becomes friendship. The film is set in the flash-in-the-pan world of roller disco, featuring many TV stars from the 1960s and 1970s, as well as Patrick Swayze in his first movie role. With its over-the-top humor and absurd plot twists, Skatetown U.S.A. captures the excess and folly of a bygone era, making it a true cult classic of the disco era.
