I have Comcast and was looking for something to watch last Saturday Night and I came across 'Over The Edge' in hi-def in the On Demand Movies section.
Holy Shit... what a blast from the past.
It was this movie that turned me on to Van Halen back when I used to watch it on HBO when I was a kid.
That house party scene with 'You Really Got Me' blasting was just as kick-ass now as it was then.
There was also that great scene with the burnout chick dancing to 'Surrender' in an abandoned house waving a gun around that winds up going off. I was searching around for some more info on the movie and found a great article on it which states the chick totally improvised this scene.
If you get a chance... check it out, especially if you've never seen it... you won't be sorry.
Here's the article (just in case you haven't seen the movie and plan on tracking it down... be warned that the article contains spoilers) OVER THE EDGE
An Oral History of the Greatest Teen Rebellion Movie of All Time
