Goofs
At the gun range, after firing all the rounds in the gun, Nick empties the spent rounds, but it is obvious the rounds were not fired since the bullets and shells are still intact.

Quotes
Bartender: The girl was a good lookin' girl and she could dance nice. The only thing was, she didn't have any tits! So, the boss told her, you go to Anaheim and get your tits pumped up and we'll give you more money. She goes to Anaheim, gets the silicone in her tits; when she gets back, her tits was hard as a rock. When she danced, her ears would move more than her tits! So, we had to fire her.

Weird 1950s Nostalgia Exploitation

The description of this movie is totally off. The "beautiful woman" with a "competitive spirit" seems like a hardcore victim of lead poisoning, a really angry idiot - like a thirteen year old with behavioral issues, but she's at least 20. I was rooting for her in the beginning when she takes revenge on her gross boss but she charges through the whole film like she's a homophobic female Sid Vicious. A rebel without a clue. This is proto-punk rock meets someone's nostalgia for Fifties roller derby.

It's a fun movie to maybe watch once but I would never recommend this seriously to anyone under any circumstance.
