The only thing keeping Billy Batson from the girl of his dreams is one little condom -- or rather the lack of one. Lucky Billy finds one at an all-night roadhouse -- but speeding back to his girl, he is killed in a head-on collision with a truck. Now invisible, Billy must find his sweetheart and rekindle her fire -- but when he comes back to school as a ghost, his first stop is the girl's locker room, and he's beginning to "see" all the possibilities!

Although i usually don't read the back cover I couldn't help myself on this one, and i was happy to find out, although i loved every word of the backcover-text, that part was over in five minutes and the movie just kept getting more wonderful. I just keep smiling throughout the movie and everything i want to happen, happens. And that's by no means a put-down, but finally someone, who knows what a young-horny-men audience biggest fantasy is, to be able to sneak around the girls lockerroom or private shower, and when the time is right,become visible and get it on with them, and among those lovely 80's-easy-chicks nothing can go wrong. By far one of the best high-school 80's movie i've seen in a long time.
Wow ... The Lengths We'll Go To
I truly enjoyed this movie, no pretension and tons of cheesy, horn-ball insanity. The aspect of this movie that really made it for me, that put it over the top, is that our protagonist is so horned-up and crazy to get some action that not only is his corpse clutching the condom that he died getting, but he actually comes back from the dead (!) and steals the condom from his cadaver's grasp. THAT is dedication to getting yr freak on. Check it out if you like the requisite teen / college sex-comedy fodder from the eighties ( private school, porky's, up the creek, summer school, etc. )
Better than the grouch who wrote the other review says it is
Gee I just watched this on DVD the other day.And I'm not sure if "god" would allow a ghost to linger around college but c'mon guy it's a silly little T&A sex comedy.Yes I know it's not a great film but it's a typical 80's party flick. Sometimes the serious artistic merit of a film has to be overlooked.If School Spirit was meant to be taken seriously as a look at reincarnation that's one thing but really it's not.But obviously the producers were tapping into the teenage boy market that made movies like Hardbodies,Porky's,Losin' It and other 80's staples successful.School Spirit will give you a chuckle and an eyeful of gratuitous female nudity,nothing more nothing less.And some days that's all you want to watch.
He died with a rubber in his hand
"School Spirit" is an anonymous and by now largely forgotten mid-80's comedy that obviously just got made in order to cash in on the contemporary popular trend of sleazy and vulgar high school/college comedies. Bob Clark's "Porky's" kick-started the trend and copious replicas were released within the next couple of years, like "Zapped!", "Screwballs", "Revenge of the Nerds", "Loose Screws" and "Fraternity Vacation". These movies invariably revolve on dim-witted and usually nerdy kids with exclusively sex on their minds and became big box office hits because they occasionally feature naked boobs and perfectly shaped butt-cheeks. They're fun and completely harmless for as long as they last, but even more forgettable and dumb. "School Spirit" tried to add a supernatural element to the generally straightforward concept of high-school comedy, which is presumably why it failed and ended up in B-movie oblivion. Billy Batson, the lead scoundrel of the bizarrely named Lavatoire College, is about to score (in the principal's office of all places) with the ambitious geek-girl Judith, but forgot to bring a protective rubber. In his haste of purchasing one, Billy causes a car accident and dies on the operating table. His guide towards the bright white light, however, is his perverted old uncle Pinky and he isn't in too much of a hurry. Billy grants himself one more day to fornicate with Judith, but instead there's plentiful of other stuff going on. Billy and his wild-partying buddies are preparing for "Hog-Day" and he encounters true love in the shape of French sponsor of the school. The main purpose of a film like "School Spirit" becomes apparent not long after the supposedly deceased Billy discovers that he now has the ability to make himself invisible. What's the first thing a young and hormone-driven stud does with a powerful gift like that? That's right, he sneaks into the girls dormitory's bathroom and extendedly observes how they shower and rub soap all over their breasts. The clichés just keep on coming in this film (nerd kids discover the art of partying, two sworn best friends falling in love, the "evil" principal going bonkers, etc) and the dialogs are really dumb, but it's all so innocent and served with great enthusiasm that you simply cannot hate the film. The character of Pinky Batson is an old pervert, though, and if the film had been made in this day and age, his character undoubtedly would have been played by a much younger actor. There's a pretty immoral and deviant sequence in which the sleazy senior exposes a girl's breasts and butt while she's sleeping. I really don't see that happening in movies nowadays and righteously so. Other than that, you know exactly what to expect from this type of cheap and unpretentious 80's comedies: horrendous rock music soundtrack, badly acting but good-looking young people, a terribly forced happy ending and T&A, of course!
Enjoyably inane 80's T&A collegiate comedy blast
Horny college student and notorious troublemaker Billy Batson (a solid and likable performance by Tom Nolan) gets killed in an automobile accident just as he's on the verging of scoring with his snobby girlfriend Judith Hightower (foxy Elizabeth Foxx). However, Billy returns to Earth as a ghost so he can still get laid. Director Allen Holleb, working from a blithely silly script by Geoffrey Baere, keeps the entertaining, if asinine, story moving along at a zippy pace, maintains a good-natured bawdy'n'raucous tone throughout, and delivers a satisfying serving of tasty gratuitous female nudity that includes a very nice shower sequence. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: John Finnegan as Billy's lecherous Uncle Pinky, Larry Linville as uptight killjoy President Grimshaw, Daniele Arnaud as sultry French honey Madeleine, Roberta Collins as the drunken Helen, Marta Kober as Grimshaw's spunky rebellious daughter Ursula, Nick Segal as smarmy preppy jerk Gregg, and Toni Hudson as the sweet Rita. The groovy 80's New Wave band Gleaming Spires appear as themselves. Best of all, such hot babes as Becky LeBeau, Pamela Ward, and Marlene Janssen all bare their yummy wares. A real goofy hoot.
