Musician Max Frost lends his backing to a Senate candidate who wants to give 18-year-olds the right to vote, but he takes things a step further than expected. Inspired by their hero's words, Max's fans pressure their leaders into extending the vote to citizens as young as 15. Max and his followers capitalize on their might by bringing new issues to the fore, but, drunk on power, they soon take generational warfare to terrible extremes.

Wild in the Streets Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
jjnxn-1 Hippie dippy ridiculousness is a true artifact of it's time. Starting off with the preposterous concept of lowering the retirement age to 30 and impounding all the retirees in militant psychedelic camps is silly enough. But then throw in all the groovy 60's speak, far out outfits and Shelley Winters abandoning any pretext of modulating her performance and what you end up with is not the happening experience the producers were surely hoping for but a sloppy mess that if nothing else is good for a few laughs. Several respected actors besides Shelley risk their reputations by appearing in this junk including Richard Pryor and Hal Holbrook fortunately they were able to go on and put a lot of distance between themselves and this cinematic white elephant. Peace out baby!!
jcenso I grew up in the sixties and even though I was 8 years old when this was made, I still remember the song "14 or Fight" and all that was happening during that time.Definitely the drugs and clothes and music are true to the time period and the movie is more of a Docudrama than anything else.The young people of the late sixties knew what a potential threat they were to their elders. I believe it was their raising to respect their elders that kept the ideas presented in this movie from actually coming about.Today or I should say when Bill Clinton was President, the idea of lowering the voting age to 14 was again raised as an issue that needed consideration.I have read here that people would like to have this movie, I can give information how you can get it in very good quality!

rosiemarie57 For its time this was a movie that made a huge impression on youth. I was about 11 when I saw it and have always remembered it and wanted to see it again. I'd tell everyone about it and no one seemed to have seen it. The song was equally as impressive and I always remember it as well. Made a huge impact on my outlook. Involved politics, teenage idealism, sex, drugs, rock & roll - everything you could want. It was all about youthful rebellion during a volatile time in our nation's history. Did not see it again until 36 years later. Yes, now it is definitely dated and campy, but the memories it brings back are very powerful and I want to see it one more time! Chris Jones rocked, too bad he never made it as big as he should have.
Edward Lozzi This film is a time warp of Los Angeles and the Sunset Strip in the 1960's. At first sigthing on the FLIX Channel I thought the actor was James Dean. Uncanny resemblance.Richard Pryor as the drummer in a rock band getting high on LSD with topless white chicks must of been mind blowing for teenagers then. I missed this film totally in 1968. My parents probably made sure of it.To see Daily Variety columnist Army Archerd, and the greatest lawyer in the nation at that time, Melvin Belli, playing themselves in a film with a whacked out Shelly Winters was just amazing.The real night time Sunset Strip cruising footage of 1968 was really "far-out man".
