Legend of Barfy Jean

Ah, yes! An incredible pile of tripe.However, I have fond memories associated with this flick.

At the time it was made, I was living in Corpus Christi, Texas. A lovely (but sleepy)" Sparkling City By The Sea". This is the official moniker of CC. It sits on Corpus Christi Bay, very close to the Gulf Of Mexico, but guess what...... NO SEA!

This Fillum,which is pretty bad, but I've (and You've) seen much,much worse, was filmed on location in CCTx. It was A Really Big Deal to have a movie shot in town.The time frame (era) -The fabulous 80s. I'm too lazy to look up the date- I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry.....I'm NOT sorry! HaHaHaHa. (Pee-Wee Hermann)

The thing is, there is a scene where a large crowd turns out to support Billie Jean( Helen Slater, quite the dish ) at a beachfront rally or something. A promotion was held thru the local rock radio station to provide a large crowd of BJ supporters. They offered free haircuts for the young ladies-IF they accepted an official BJ 'do.This was a weird combo of Dennis The Menace cowlick, Mohawk,whitewalls, and Dog the Bounty Hunter braids!So for months afterwards,you would see these gals running around with chopped-up hair! Too funny..... anyway the movie takes me back... I had a lot of fun while I lived there!So, check it out if you haven't seen it-the scenery is cool,anyway.

Later.......willhowl
