Rock 'n' Roll High School is a 1979 film produced by Roger Corman, directed by Allan Arkush, and featuring The Ramones. The film starred P.J. Soles, Vincent Van Patten, and Clint Howard. Darby Crash of The Germs also played an extra in this film.
In addition to several songs by the Ramones, the soundtrack for the film includes songs by Brian Eno, the Paley Brothers, Paul McCartney & Wings, Nick Lowe, Fleetwood Mac, Devo, Alice Cooper, and Chuck Berry, among others.
The remastered version of Road to Ruin includes the soundtrack's version of "Rock n Roll High School" and "I Want You Around" as well as the live track "Blitzkrieg Bop/Teenage Lobotomy/California Sun/Pinhead/She's the One."
Originally slated to star Cheap Trick, Rock 'n' Roll High School was part of a wave of apocalyptic high school movies of that era, including Over the Edge. One of its more famous scenes involves the Ramones and simple dialogue involving pizza, whose numerous takes are detailed in the book Please Kill Me: An Uncensored Oral History of Punk Rock.
