Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...

The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

Shot guerilla-style in the shadows of Brooklyn, TEENAGE GANG DEBS combines the template of FREAKS with the blueprint for HAIRSPRAY to forge the most essential juvenile delinquent gutter-noir that ever was. With its cinéma vérité fight scenes, gang leaders who wear cardigan sweaters, and refreshing flip of gender roles in exploitation, this Something Weird classick feels like what would happen if The Shangri-Las stopped singing “Leader Of The Pack” and started stabbing punks with switchblades.

Reviews

No Debby Downer here

"A good movie for fans of gyrating and switchblade fights. I appreciate that it came with a booklet, I always appreciate some writing about these gems"

— Tyler M. (5/5)

Teensploition

"This is some fun Teensploition movies, true B-movie cinema, that looks amazing remastered in HD."

— Lennard B. (5/5)

She's the leader of the pack.

"This film is a Pulp gem about a power struggle within a teenage gang in Brooklyn in the 60's.  Great AGFA release with a brilliant slipcover !"

— Sébastien O. (5/5)

Worth the wait

"Been wanting a high-quality copy of this since it was featured on Reel Wild Cinema back in the day and this release, loaded with extras is the bomb."

— Phillip B. (5/5)

A new rediscovered classic

"This was so much fun. So dark and sleazy for the era. A must see"

— Josh C. (5/5)

Great cover

"Good quality"

— Isaac G. (5/5)

Like being slapped in the face by 1964 itself…

"If you shoved a motorcycle, a bouffant wig, a leather jacket, a switchblade, some bad jazz records, and a whole can of Aqua Net in a blender, this movie would be the result of a couple rounds on “liquify”, daddy-o. This flick’s got it all. The opening scene - and a couple of others within - are actually a little traumatizing, but it’s an early exploitation film, meant to shock and dismay. Par for the course. The acting is awful, and fits every scene perfectly. “Gang members” look as if they’ll bust out laughing in the middle of Parmesan-encrusted fight scenes, and it’s a riot. Damn good time. So glad to have this."

— Stephanie S. (5/5)

Teenage Gang Debs

"Love the stylization on these AGFA slipcovers!"

— Jesse H. (5/5)

NYC time capsule

"If you, like me, happen to own a 1956 Cadillac this one is gonna be a little painful to watch. With that out of the way though, the teen dance parties reflecting absurd and manic sixties dance crazes and knife fights between dorks in cardigan sweaters is awesome. Glad to own this!"

— Charles W. (5/5)

Cheesy B&W

"No-budget teenage biker gang drama. It’s very cheesy and a fun look at New York during the time."

— Jeffrey L. (3/5)
