StreetTrash not too much about this cheese is known, just that it was an early role for michael j. fox. there are a few other notable actors as well.the plot basically revolves around a few teams going on a scavenger hunt put on by some nerdy college student. the teams scatter around the city facing various obstacles.it's not much, but it works. the film will keep you interested and the characters will keep you engaged. like i said, i paid a dollar for it and i don't feel that it was a poor investment. it's an unusual movie filled with a different slapstick movie, filled with interesting topics and cultural references during the time of its making.

jonathan-577 As usual: watch out for movies with two directors. This thing took Siue and me about two months to get through, we could only handle ten minutes at a sitting. Four large teams of frat boys (and one of frat dykes), set out on a grandly orchestrated treasure hunt around the city. I have never seen any movie ever that was so wrong about how funny it thought it was being. You can tell when a scene is about to end because every single time there's a five-second pause for you to laugh...at what? Nothing anyone does ever makes sense. The characters and situations are such stereotypes you barely register that they're there. Eddie Deezen does his shtick when he can steal some screen time from a completely obnoxious Stephen Furst; David Naughton pulls such an Adam West routine on the clues you want to turn him into a werewolf; a practically infantile Michael J. Fox debuts as a sullen and petulant nonentity; and Paul Reubens gets ONE line of dialogue. The 'moral' - don't be an a**hole - definitely isn't going to change anyone's life. The movie doesn't end, it just stops. The theme song is stuck in my head two weeks later and I resent it deeply. This movie isn't just bad - it is unwelcome in my house. I loathe it. I want it to die. I'm giving it a two because a one feels like too much of an accomplishment.

ReelCheese It doesn't quite deserve the disproportionate number of "10" votes it's received on this web site, but "Midnight Madness" is still a lot of fun. The eccentric Leon (Alan Solomon) organizes a cross-city scavenger hunt for five groups of college students ranging from nerds and jocks to babes and good guys. Each team must decipher a series of clues ("Mr. Carson's obese male child" leads to Johnny's Fat Boy Restaurant, and so on) before racing to the next location to do it again, all the while battling some occasional dirty tricks from rivals. The actual laughs few and far between, but you can't deny "Midnight Madness" carries heaps of cheesy '80s appeal. Look for Michael J. Fox (billed without the middle initial) in his film debut.

Jeff Long A rather silly little film you just may love.Although rather corny and cliché at times, it nonetheless works and makes for good clean fun. Five teams are engaged on a scavenger hunt and battle each other and their wits to win the all night contest - just for the sheer joy "knowing yours is the best team."Notable for several screen debuts including David Naughton's first film role after his Dr. Pepper "Be a Pepper" commercials and before his major 1981 hit "American Werewolf in London". Also features Paul Ruebens in what I believe is his first Pee Wee Herman-esquire roll a year before he became known for it. And last but not least, Mr. Spin City and Alex Keaton himself, Michael J. Fox gets his first film role here. Fans will remember Stephen Furst as Flounder in Animal House. Outside of that, no names, but all funny characters.Doubt it has ever made it to DVD, but there are still probably some VHS copies floating around and you might even catch on a late, late show sometime. If you do, is worth your watch. You may hate it, but it may also become a quirky little movie you come to love.
