Howdy All!
I need your help in identifying an old movie. I vaguely remember the movie, possibly made in the 70Â’s, that involved a group of jet boating trouble makers. From what I remember, a lady owned the little lake or resort where this group of jet boaters would always come in and wreaked havoc. She could not lay down the law with them and other visitors to the lake were being harassed and leaving. Finally she asked her friend for help who was a member of an old retired bike gang. He brought his biker gang back together and went to the lake and threatened the jet boaters with physical violence. The boaters left, only to come back early in the morning while the biker gang was still asleep and wreaked havoc in which the head bad guy took his lady friend for a ride in his boat. The hero goes chasing after him in a sit down jet ski and jumps in the boat and kicks the bad guyÂ’s butt. The end. ThatÂ’s how I remembered the movie anyways. Does anyone else remember this?

Were some of the jet boats small and have motorcycle handlebars for steering? I've been trying to remember a movie like that for quite sometime. It wasn't one of the Porky's movies was it?
AA is for quiters

The jet skis they used did have what looked like motorcycle bars on them. They looked closer to snow mobiles from what I can remember. Nope it wasn't one of the Porkey's.

Madison is about an Unlimited Hydro, so I know it's not that one. Maybe Meatballs III, I don't know. I can't remember seeing anything like that(see next sentence).
Mushrooms were still the rage when I was in HS(early 80's). Talk about a homework assistant... :mix:

Do you know the title of the movie? It didnt seem like it was a comedy, but then again, I watched it when I was like 7 or 8 years old. It was on TV by the time I saw it.

I think I will see that one too, but the one I am talking about had to have been made in the late 70s possibly REALLY early 80s. I believe I saw it in the really early part of the 80s. I think it was more of a action/drama/rekindled love type of a flick.

It was a made-for-TV movie called Return of the Rebels (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0082990/) and starred Barbara Eden and Don Murray. Cast included Patrick Swayze.
