Sky High

About This Movie

So, Sky High from '85 is quite the oddball entry in the action-adventure-comedy genre. It's got this laid-back vibe, typical of the era, yet it dives into some heavier themes like drug culture and the consequences of youthful recklessness. The pacing is a bit uneven, which can be a mixed bag, but it adds to that almost reckless charm. The practical effects? They’re charmingly dated, but there's a certain nostalgia that resonates. The performances range from typical high school antics to some surprisingly gritty moments, especially when the stakes rise with the gang involved. If you’re into capturing the essence of mid-80s teen escapades mixed with action, this one has a uniqueness that's hard to pin down, and it definitely stands out in a collection.
