Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJill Lansing was asked to pose topless for the theatrical one sheet poster, but demanded to be paid an outrageous sum of money. So producers asked Mary-Margaret Humes, one of the actresses who had auditioned for the lead, to do it and she agreed even though she wasn't in the film.
- GoofsWhen Kim "shoots" the tin can, it is obvious that the can is being flipped into the air by the wooden plank under it.
- Quotes
Kim Bentley: I can't do it, Lance... I mean, I may be a hooker, but I'm not a hitgirl.
Lance: It's time you graduated.

Who Knew Relief Work Could Be so Lucratuve!
You don't go into seeing this one with any grandiose notions, and, if you are like me, you should be pleasantly surprised that this is one of those vintage "bad" movies that is just loads of fun to sit through. Kim Bentley loses her boyfriend and so she begins failing her classes, etc... when she decides to become a prostitute and then later an assassin picking up booze, weed, and coke along the way. Jill Lansing appearing in what seems to be her only screen credit gives a credible performance as the "hooker to hit girl" as she frequently disrobes and lets her breasts get lots of air, seduces two of her teachers for grades, and runs a profitable business from the back of her pimp's van. We get lots of stereotypes here and the plot is pretty threadbare when it comes to anything other than giving us lurid and "shocking" behaviours to be witnessed. The rest of the cast is better-than-average for a movie of this ilk, and I laughed out loud several times at the bizarre going ons and what I was suppose(perhaps not) to take seriously. In addition to all this Kim has a few hazy flashbacks about her father hanging himself. Malibu High is sleazy and fun - and entertaining. It has what you would expect in a picture like this but packages it well. As some have noted the soundtrack is weird to say the least as we get an instrumental People's Court theme used in a most inopportune moment and that bizarre SCTV strident tone used when something significant is being conveyed - at least that is what the director is trying to convey.
