Robert Carradine in The Pom Pom Girls

'A group of carefree high school seniors are having the time of their lives, filled with sex, romance, and teen high jinks.'


Like so many teensploitation films from the 70's and 80's, 1976's The Pom Pom Girls is set in a high school where cheerleaders, and cheerleaders in the shower, are staples of teen sex comedies.  Thankfully, The Pom Pom Girls also takes us briefly into the male shower room, where we get a nice view of Carradine's caboose. 


A football player at Rosedale High School is amorous of one of the cheerleaders, who is going with another guy. Another player can't decide which of two cheerleaders he wants to be with. Meanwhile, the Big Game with Hardin High School is approaching, and a prank war is in full swing.


In addition to seeing a bit more of David Carradine, we also get a crack, or a peak at the top of actor Michael Mullins but.  I hadn't heard of Michael before, but he was certainly hot in the film.  Unlike Carradine, who continued to work steadily, Mullins career seems to have sputtered out during the late 70's and 80's.  

Although there were a few television guest spots, his last official credit was back in 1990.  The quick flash of the top of his butt crack, was also as far as I could find, his one and only nude scene.

Shower Scene

After the film's initial run in 1976 as an R rated feature, a second run in February 1977 featured a PG version that was 80 seconds shorter with the deletion of some of the stronger language and the sex scenes were shortened.  I think the shower scene featuring Carradine remained intact in both versions and only female nude scenes were edited to get the PG rating.
