80s Comedy: "The Last American Virgin" (1982) - Pizza Party




One of the funniest 80s films - "The Last American Virgin"

The Last American Virgin is a 1982 coming-of-age film, a remake of the Israeli film Eskimo Limon (1978). After the success of the original and several sequels, writer/director Boaz Davidson re-teamed with producers Golan-Globus to attempt to re-create the same success in the United States. Davidson decided to change a few key elements from the original. Eskimo Limon was a nostalgia film about kids growing up in 1950s Israel — similar to George Lucas's American Graffiti, however the remake was set in then-present-day suburban Los Angeles. The soundtrack was also updated from golden oldies to more contemporary New Wave rock.
