	Pump up the Volume (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pump Up the Volume (1990) is a dramedy written and directed by Allan Moyle and starring Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis.
		Most of the adults were portrayed as authoritarian and corrupt, and the film seemed to have all the standard conventions of a teenage exploitation film.
		The film was scoffed at by many pirate radio operators and enthusiasts, however, for inaccurate portrayal of FCC enforcement, such as scenes of the FCC chairman holding a press conference to announce his arrival and federal agents patrolling in brightly marked yellow vans.

		In chapter four of book four of the first volume, Don Quixote refers to such enchanters bringing friends to a knight's aid and transporting them to their own homes for dinner afterwards, though the home was several thousand miles from the battlefield.
		This is a reference to the common cartoon trope of a skeleton escaping a character's mouth in fright, and possibly a reference to the Ray Bradbury short story "Skeleton".
		He picks up the radio and says, "McBain to base, under attack by Commi-Nazis." These "Commi-Nazis" combine Russian Communism and Nazi ideology, and use a mix of the Swastika and Hammer and Sickle on a red background as their standard, which is particularly ironic, considering the incompatibility of the two ideologies.

		This course can scarcely fail to introduce into the sand many bacteria, which may be washed through when the full working of the filters is begun; and it should not, therefore, be adopted when the source of the supply is known to be subject to human pollution.
		The cost, however—to say nothing of the uncertainty—where large volumes of water are concerned, much exceeds the cost of obtaining initially safe water.
		The effect is to produce between the sand or other grains a glutinous substance which does the work per-farmed by the mud and microbes upon the surface of the sand filter.

	DVDFILE.COM: Pump Up The Volume review

	Pump Up the Volume
		The film wasn't made either as meaningful drama or as a satire, but as a teensploitation film that was made specifically to pander to a disaffected suburban youth market.
		Pump Up the Volume (1990) is a film I avoided assuming that it was a rock music story, which wouldn't interest me at all.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

		We have his sympathy and the film handles all of this with absorbing development…..and the consequent fight to stand up against the oppression and aimlessness that stems from misunderstanding adults, who instil unwanted values in their children.
		This film really shows the subtle ways in which the young characters can be deprived of their potential, their freedom or free will by the pressures placed on them and the misdirected energy that goes with being young.
		The emphasis or message is on this understanding, and the film portrays examples of communication difficulties; the awkward attempts at finding the right words on both sides of the generation gap.

	Pump Up the Volume/Bed of Roses
		While the film seems a bit dated (and the whole "talk hard" thing seems kind of gay), it is still quite entertaining.
		The film is as sappy as they come, but it has a refreshing sense of humor, wonderful supporting characters (especially Pamela Segall, as Masterson's best friend), and is nicely paced by writer/director Michael Goldenberg.
		The film is presented in a matted version (which only blocks off information on the top and bottom) and a flat version.

		The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen (which marks the film's first widescreen release outside of theaters) as well as a full frame edition and both look spectacular.
		Pixelization is kept to a minimum and film grain, while certainly apparent, is more of a stylistic choice of the filmmakers rather than a flaw of either transfer.
		Still with me? This practice is employed frequently in films to allow the director to assemble the movie the way he wants and not have to worry about the inevitable full screen edition of the movie butchering his vision too much.

		Though writer-director Allan Moyle has some interesting ideas at work here, "Pump Up the Volume" is primarily the same old thing — "us," represented by adolescents of all shapes and sizes, against "them," meaning parents, teachers and any other handy authority figures.
		This is also a surprisingly exploitive film, from the sentimental cameo of the suicidal student to the scene where Mathis removes her blouse.
		"Pump Up the Volume" is rated R for considerable profanity and vulgarity, with partial nudity and some violence.

		It's fun to realize that, less than five or six years after Pump Up The Volume came out, technology and culture had passed it by like it was a golf cart on a drag strip.
		The protagonist's pirate radio station is not much different in concept from the podcasters that appeared on the scene in late 2004 and early 2005.
		Pump Up the Volume works best when Christian Slater is on-camera and on the air.

		This is a similar situation at the outset of Pump Up The Volume.

		If the film had merely focused on the depressing topics it presents, it would have been an extreme turn-off.

		Except for a power switch, all controls for the single-rackspace BMC are located on a 6×8-inch remote with a large volume knob (operating in 0.5dB steps) flanked by switches for muting and preset reference level.
		Although the standard mixing level for film is 85 dB, some film houses turn down the left and right surround outputs by 3 dB; MandK planned for this by including a -3dB switch for the left and right surround channels in the LFE-5.

	Samantha Mathis - Grab.com Movies
		Since her parents divorced when she was only three years old, Samantha was very exposed to the acting industry from a very young age, which made her almost destined to become an actress.
		Samantha's first feature film was Pump Up the Volume (1990) opposite her on- and off-screen love at the time, Christian Slater.
		This movie also marked her first topless scene, but Samantha has now grown up and moved on to more demanding roles, such as the part of Terry Carmichael in the action-packed film Broken Arrow (1996).

		With all-weather lockers outside and students who seem to always be "hangin' loose," the school's placid environment is infiltrated by a mysterious independent radio programmer.
		Mark, at exactly ten o'clock every evening, cranks up his short-wave radio system and plays Happy Harry Hard-On to the many teenage listeners of his school (which very coincidentally match the initials HHH of the high school, Hubert H. Humphrey).
		For a blast back to high school and the (can we forget) problems that period of time lent us, see "Pump Up the Volume." It's guaranteed to be a good laugh, if at its own expense.
