Legacy
A cult classic, Norma Eberhardt noted that, “The film tapped into what kids were feeling – that society sucked and they were rebelling against it." Screenshots of Eberhardt were printed onto T-shirts worn by Slash, the guitarist of Guns N' Roses, in 2007. Eberhardt was described as "highly amused" by Slash's wardrobe.
