Eight films - eight divergent storylines. Instead of trying to sum up this box set in a single paragraph, let's look at a simple statement of the plot for each movie featured, beginning with:

The Young Graduates (1971) - a group of high school kids fall into the last phases of the counterculture as the 1960s give way to the slightly less swinging '70s. One girl in particular experiments in areas she should not have explored.

Don't Answer the Phone (1980) - LA is hounded by a serial strangler who sexually assaults and mutilates his victims. As the police try to figure out the identity of the killer, the fiend starts calling a local radio phone-in show.

Brain Twisters (1991) - a video game company uses a local college and a sinister psychologist to develop a mind altering simulation. Unfortunately, the chief side effect leads the test subjects to start killing people.

Death Machines (1976) - an Asian madam genetically alters three martial artists, turning them into the ultimate killing machines. When the mafia sees how effective they are, they become the mob's main hitmen.

Wild Riders (1971) - after killing a girl in Florida, two bikers head to California to hide out. Spying a couple of lonely ladies in a large mansion, they decide to make themselves at home.

The Van (1977) - after graduating high school, a frisky teen spends all his money on a brand new, totally tricked out van. When his buddy runs into financial trouble, he is forced to drag race in order to earn some cash.

Chain Gang Women (1971) - a pair of fugitives from a Georgia work farm make their way across the countryside. First, they stop off to see one of their girlfriends. When she proves unreliable, they take an old farmer and his child bride hostage.

The Specialist (1975) - a crooked lawyer hopes to win a major case against an old client. So he hires a private detective who himself employs a paid escort to sit on the jury and seduce the opposing counsel.

"This latest edition in BCI's excellent series of drive-in movie collections contains a top favorite from the early 1970s drive-in theater circuit, "The Young Graduates." The film displays the adventures of blonde Mindy (Patricia Wymer), a recent high school graduate who's enjoying an affair with a slightly older teacher while still making time to hang out with hippies, bikers, and stoners. The interesting note here is that the film is more coming-of-age than exploitative. Although some of the dialog sounds as though it was written by a middle-aged scribe trying to sound "hep and with-it," the film endures as a period piece that deftly captures the spirit of the early seventies' youth culture. The picture has been letterboxed for the first time on home video, as is generally the case with the other Crown International films in this series. DRIVE-IN CULT CLASSICS VOL. 4 contains more variety than previous volumes, offering 8 nuggets from the horror/biker/sci-fi/softcore genres, all for about ten bucks. Since the films are spread over four disc sides, each film gets a full side to itself, which presents a pleasing image that doesn't suffer from compression artifacts."
