Lost, Lonely And Vicious / Jacktown - Special Edition

Brooding bad boy Johnny Dennis isn't just lost, lonely and vicious, he's also a Hollywood star "obsessed with death." After watching the premiere of his first film from the shadows of an alley, Johnny ditches the older-woman/acting-coach he's been having an affair with, beats up a struggling actor, and falls in love with a sweet teen drug-store clerk. (Barbara Wilson of Terror In The Midnight Sun). But faster than you can say "James Dean" the "kinda strange" Johnnie is speeding his Ford Thunderbird down a lonely stretch of road in the middle of the night... Calling itself "a realistic documentary" (huh?) and meant to evoke the memories of the late star of Rebel without a Cause, Lost, Lonely and Vicious might more accurately be described as Deansploitation. It's also the best movie about Hollywood ever made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Plus: Twenty-one-year-old tough guy Frankie Stossel has his life of crime interrupted when he's caught making out with an underage car hop and sentenced to Jacktown, "the world's largest prison in Jackson, Michigan." But since "morals charges is against their religion," the cons make things rough for Frankie until he escapes and takes refuge with the warden's daughter, Miss Patty McCormack, the Bad Seed herself.... A brisk little "B" with actual footage of "one of the most infamous riots in prison history," Jacktown asks one of the top ten questions of the universe: "Was he born to be bad?"
