I never understood why Catherine Mary Stewart never became a major star. She was beautiful, charismatic, could act and was convincing at fighting zombies and juvenile delinquents. After the 1980s, she simply vanished from the scene.
Even though Joss Whedon has said Kellie Maroney's cheerleader "kid" sister inspired Buffy Summers, and Maroney steals every scene she's in, however the fact she looks 30 while playing herself up as a teenager and younger than her older sister Stewart was distracting.
The film itself is a lot of fun. It's hard to believe it cost 700,00 because it looks so well made and the supporting cast is solid (Geoffrey Lewis,Mary Woronov). It's a very 80s movie.
Oddly enough, for a movie that was made to show women kick ass and rule, it's a male character (Robert Beltran) who happens to show up and save the day, not to mention I didn't like how they turned Stewart from a badass teen girl to a submissive housewife.
