Relativement peu rebelle Rock ’n’ Roll High School a vielli en toute dignité - si on ne prend la comédie que pour ce qu’elle devait être.
Not long after Corman produced Summer School Teachers in 1975 (directed and written by Barbara Peeters, one of many women in the producer’s employ), New World was looking to do yet another high school–themed film. At first, Corman considered doing a movie called “Girls Gym,” with women doing naked gymnastics and little more. Arkush in the meantime had been writing a treatment for “Heavy Metal Kids” about, well, just that. While cooler heads prevailed in regard to exploitative nude gymnastics, an idea for real high school rebellion came up—a rebel yell so savage that its students would blow up their classrooms by film’s end. “I didn’t think that was funny, and besides, we were supposed to be making a comedy,” says Arkush about this literally explosive finale.
Corman was dissuaded from his idea of naked gymnastics but, as it was 1977, the producer’s idea of what was popular leaned toward the mainstream of Thank God It’s Friday and Saturday Night Fever. Corman’s next school film was nearly called “Disco High,” but who blows anything up with a 4/4 beat? Arkush’s lightbulb moment came with his work in (and love of) rock and roll. “What is rock and roll if not the thing that your parents think will make you become evil? That’s the movie: kids taking over the school with the rebellious spirit of rock and roll.”

Alice Cooper avait pris un coup de vieux, alors Corman choisit du fun style Ramones plutôt que le sordide Alice.

En fin de compte il n’y a aucune musique rebelle qui a échappé au Leviathan de la commercialisation. Avec Rock ’n’ Roll High School Corman nous a donné le parfait exemple du procédé, pourtant ridicule comme le Jabberwocky d’Alice Carrol qui n’est qu’une poarodie du personnage biblique.
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjousday! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
