Thunder Rod!!!! (1971)

Year Published: 1971

Description:

This 16mm film from my archive is supposed to be a parable... So here it is: Work hard washing cars, and you can buy the most awesome build-it-yourself SSP (On Sale!), put it together in your basement, race it with your best friend, smash it to bits against the wall, and you get to put it back together and do it all over again. So... That's the parable! Honestly, every kid knows that smashing Thunder Rod was the best part! Worth a week washing cars. And aren't there rules about child labor and low pay? Anyway - The moral of the story is have fun, work hard, demand a living wage, and don't be a sour puss just because you don't think that repairing things is the most fun of all. As usual I transferred this reel with my own Telecine and corrected color to taste. Enjoy!
