Trivia
Max Frost (Christopher Jones) asks Billy Cage (Kevin Coughlin) how long he thinks he is going to live and he replies, "Thirty, man." Coughlin was killed in a hit-and-run accident on January 19, 1976, only five weeks after his 30th birthday.

Errores
When Jimmy Fergus meets his father, Senator Johnny Fergus, he says "...and when that special water comes in...". The decision to spike the Washington, D.C. drinking water supply with LSD was made in the scene following this one during Max's War Council, so this scene with Jimmy and his father was edited out of sync.

Not great, but a slice of the 60's-as-we-wish-they-were

Max Frost and his band want to run the country and with the help of their friends and some pharmacology, they take over the political structure of the USA. It's a reasonably well made cautionary tale of the late 60's. It briefly became a cult favorite and was said to have prompted then-mayor of Chicago, Richard Daily, to put guards around the city's water supply just prior to, and during the 1968 Democratic National Convention to prevent anarchists from "dosing" the water with psychedelics.

The storyline is fairly slick for the time; how do a bunch of don't-trust-anyone-over-30 kids take over the country? There's a little romance, a little angst, a little rock music, and a lot of scenery-chewing and overacting by the "Major Stars" including Shelly Winters and Ed Begley. Hal Holbrook was able to keep it toned down.

This was also one of the first major films the late Richard Prior appeared in. The other being Sid Cesar's "The Busy Body", released the same year.

The psychedelic aspects of "Wild in the Streets" make it a great film to pair with Peter Fonda's "The Trip" for a 60's double feature flashback fest. Enjoy and never trust anyone under 30. heh.
