Once they get through the fifteen layers of undergarments required back in those days, they get into bed, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have a condom so he bargains with her about how far he can put it in and promises he’ll take it out. Kelly tells Jonathan her parents will be out-of-town for the weekend, so he sees this as his chance to finally lose his virginity. It’s obvious the filmmakers want Kelly to be the “beauty queen” so they do everything they can to make Jami unattractive, giving her glasses and braces, but it doesn’t work. A girl more suited to his speed, Rosalie (Jami Gertz) stalks Jonathan everywhere he goes. This wouldn’t be a teen sex comedy without unrequited love, and I don’t mean Jonathan. Rather than horrifying her, she is amused. I’m convinced Mischief is a movie about vehicular accidents! Kelly rushes to his aid and wipes the blood from his face.

Later that night, they go to the town fair. Gene claims to have been kicked out of school for having sex with two girls (at the same time?) and all of a sudden, he’s a god to the other kid. Jonathan befriends Gene and they talk about chicks and cars while shooting hoops. ![]() Brown) and his girl, Bunny (Catherine Mary Stewart). This town is a death-trap! The new arrival in town, Gene (Chris Nash), on his motorcycle, is nearly side-swiped by Kenny (D.W. In under five minutes, we have two vehicular accidents. So begins Mischief, In the tradition of American Graffiti, Porky’s, and The Hollywood Knights, this is a “baby-boomer” teen sex comedy and, refreshingly, the film is made with great production values, and vintage cars and costumes. Jonathan couldn’t keep his eyes off her, so he swerved and hit a fire hydrant. Enter Marilyn McCauley (Kelly Preston) walking down the street. On a beautiful day in 1956, Jonathan Bellah (Doug McKeon) took the car out for a drive in town. Mischief, 1985 (Doug McKeon) 20th Century Fox “Why are you so interested in my sex life?” ![]()
