This was surprisingly good comedy directed by Robert Butler (Up the Creek)
The story follows Beverly Plaza hotel parking valets, at work, parties and yes, even some romances.
The cast is fantastic:
Dirk Benedict, Randy Brooks, Robert Hegyes, Kario Salem, Melanie Griffith, T.K. Carter, Audrey Landers, Michael Winslow, Jerry Orbach etc.
I loved to see Michael Winslow doing his sound effects way before Police Academy. Melanie was supercute with her supercute voice.
The Commodores performed the cool and groovy theme tune.
The Blitznight, auto soccer tournament and bowling balls on the loose. Check it out guys!

Never seen it but it sounds good to me. I'll check it out soon Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
Good gosh, aTomiK, I have seen this thing but had completely forgotten that it existed! Seriously, I think that I saw it on Cinemax back in like 1982 and then immediately forgot about it until I read your post here, 28 years later... (Hmmmm... good movie title there.) This may be your best "underground" discovery yet. Yes, indeed, we have Disney director Robert Butler and an amazing cast of soon-to-be's in a "Car Wash" knockoff with parking attendants. One of us should do a poll on what is the LEAST seen 80's film by members here. I'd be willing to bet this one is top three or five.

I'll purchase a copy soon also. sounds great.
the auto soccer tournament sounds right up there with the Malibu High Auto Shop Blowout on "Lovelines".
