The
New Kids is a 1985
American thriller film,[2] directed by Sean S. Cunningham and
starring Shannon Presby, Lori
Loughlin and James Spader. The film was released on January 18, 1985,
by Columbia Pictures. When
Abby and Loren McWilliams' parents are killed in an accident, it is decided that
they will live in the small town of Glenby, Florida with their uncle Charlie
and aunt Fay, who own a gas station and a small amusement park, both of which
share the property. Loren and Abby do not have much trouble making friends at
their new school; Loren starts dating local sheriff's daughter Karen, while
Abby begins seeing a guy named Mark. However, trouble arises when Loren sees a
guy harassing Abby one day at school in the cafeteria. Mark tells Loren and
Abby that the thug is Eddie Dutra, a drug-addicted teenager who heads a gang as
bad as he is, with Gideon, Moonie, Gordo and Joe Bob. Dutra finds Abby
attractive, and uses that as his motive. Loren helps Abby keep Dutra at a
distance, and Dutra does not like that at all. Dutra and his gang start retaliating
against Loren for keeping them away from Abby. Dutra's retaliations keep
getting more and more vicious until Dutra forces a showdown at the amusement
park by kidnapping Abby. Charlie is severely injured by Dutra. Gordo is killed
by a vicious dog, and Dutra kills the dog. Loren causes Moonie to be thrown to
his death from the Ferris wheel, then Loren
causes Joe Bob to be electrocuted above the bumper car ride, then Loren uses
the roller coaster to decapitate Gideon. Dutra then fires a shot at Abby, who
flees to the parking lot of the gas station, where Dutra hits her with the gun.
Dutra then grabs a nozzle from one of the gas pumps and lights it up to be used
as a flame thrower. Loren grabs Dutra, and Loren and Dutra struggle over the
nozzle. Dutra dies when Loren forces the nozzle to Dutra's face, setting Dutra
on fire. Charlie survives his injuries, and the park is reopened with a
substantial spike in business due to the notoriety of the crimes that happened
there. As Abby, Loren and Karen drive away in a car, Joe Bob's little brother
looks on in a threatening state.
