Review of Tuff Turf (1985) by Allan C — 30 Mar 2014
From the director of "Gor" and "Children of the Corn" comes this tale of teen outsider, James Spader, trying to fit in at his new gang ridden high school. He falls in love with Kim Richards, who's best know as Tia from "Escape to Witch Mountain," who also happens to be the girlfriend of the neighborhood gang leader, which doesn't go over too well.
However, Spaders new best friend is a quirky kid played by Robert Downey Jr., so that's a good thing for Spader and the audience. Overall, this is a pretty silly "Class of 1984" type of urban nightmare film, but the action is good and seeing Spader and Downey Jr.
in early roles goes a long way.
