* Real city gangs do not wear custom made jackets. They'd have tattoos and wore certain items such as pro-sports caps or bandanas of a certain color to identify their gang affiliation. ♣
@@WytZox1 not entirely correct, lots of your street gangs in city's did indeed wear jackets with custom names or gang affiliated slogans. If you look at the Hollister incident in the 1940s everyone in that motorcycle gang had custom pieces drawn on their leather jackets with paint. If you look at 50s and 60s gangs like The Wanderers they had jackets with patches also individually made. Then along came putting studs in your jackets and more painting during the greaser revival in the 70s and 80s taken more from the punk subculture.
Still don't get why the gang guys were trying to stop them from arguing AGAINST a curfew for teens...? But like others have suggested, they looked like they were in their 30's so I guess it wouldn't apply to them...
You should see the one about teaching little kids not to take candy from strangers or go with them in their car. It was a true story, he was a child molester, and at the end of the film, they showed the little girls' actual dead bodies. Very traumatizing for kids that had to watch this one.
Dang, it was like 12 Angry Men or the Scopes Monkey Trial or Westside Story all up in here. Also, that tall southern guy went on to do the voice of Hank Hill, I'm sure of it. Finally, I think the "teens" suggested "sock hops," but the adults decided it'd be easier just to send them all to Vietnam.
Has this EVER actually happened? COMON! Your highschool friends are casually beating up adults... And it just so happens to be your DAD? This is surreal as heck
Why are these thugs dressed like a singing quintet or space rangers? (3:20). Back in those days it was the leather motorcycle jacket look...much like 'the fonz'.
Leather ain't cheap, even back then it wasn't. They didn't have synthetic leather yet. it's unrealistic to think most teenagers back then all had leather jackets.
At 11:27 you see Bret Waller who was in a few Social Hygiene films, like The Snob, and The Trouble Maker. He later worked at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
Right? That wouldn’t happen now, teacher would get knocked out and admin would look the other way. I live in Colorado and they’re trying to pass a bill where any child under 12 could not be prosecuted from any dangerous or violent crime except murder 🙄
I like how they leave it up to you to think about and do what you should do to control the situation even if it means someone going to jail because the juveniles don't listen. It is as good lesson today as it was when this was produced.
As MST3K or Rifftrax (I forget when), the guys did do a fun job of adding commentary throughout. On its own, it is still a fine avenue to student discussion: Here are things which our society cannot allow, conducted by a small margin - What do YOU, as another youth, suggest we do to quell such behavior?
Dude at 6:25...first off, whose father is he? He looks like he should be working at an advertising firm 😂, his face has some STRONG features! And then he had the nerve to be the tallest person of the group! He’s cute tho.
I born yrs 1955s I hasn't forgotten these films, abouts those teenagers, they are actor's, but did'nt realizes the man they had frightening it's his father's, but those guys did'nt knows never met before.. Now father, it's so suspicously. Happy birthday former actors, teenagers.. 78s yrs, old 79s yrs old 84s yrs, old 83s yrs old 82 yrs old, 81yrs old 80s yrs old, most are gones and others still lived today 2023s,
@@dannybrown2857 And an affluent, heterosexual, cisgender man at that (which is me). Depends where you were. Yes, a number of things were better then, such as lack of western terrorism and better familial relations. But there are far fewer racial tensions today, and marital rape is a serious crime.
This film was made in 1955, the 1920s were 25 years prior; have you ever listened to Hootie and the Blowfish? They came out 25 years ago...let that sink in... :)
One last...something about the reflection in the eagle's eye makes me think of the hammer and sickle. I guess it's just something subliminal my own goofy brain saw.

This is the third production that I've heard that recording of orchestral music used during its opening credits in. The first was a cheap 1962 gothic horror flick titled "Dungeon of Harrow" and the second was a health & safety psa from the 50s.
Here’s what I think happened: Jamie confessed to the crimes that he committed and stated that as soon as he found out it was dad who was beaten up, he left the gang of kids he was hanging around with. He named them and apologized for what happened. The other kids who weren’t delinquent forgave him and he eventually went steady with Sally. Jamie got six months probation for the crimes he was a part of and did community service to pay the fines he was given. His parents were furious with him at first, however, they eventually forgave him. The gang of kids however were sentenced to 10 years in prison for their crimes; they went to a reform school/prison until aged 21 then did the rest of their sentences at the state prison. After they got out of prison, they looked Jamie up, who had now gotten married to Sally, became a lawyer, moved to New Orleans, and had two children; Jamie Jr age 8 and Rosa age 6. They went to New Orleans to settle the score with Jamie and kidnapped Jamie Jr as leverage. The police got involved and arrested them for kidnapping the boy the following week. Jamie Jr was okay physically, however, had suffered from PSTD for years as a result of the kidnapping. The gang of kids(now adults)were tried and convicted for kidnapping; they were sentenced to life imprisonment as a result. After the ordeal, Jamie, Sally, and their two children moved into a house near their hometown and lived happily ever after.
And you people said this old attitude was wrong. Seems pretty accurate to me. We need to revisit the "corny" stamp of condemnation that they've assigned these obvious "truths".
I don't approve of criminals, but these types of films are amusing though because of how corny they are. Plus, I like the romanticized versions of greasers and the overall aesthetic of the 50's without it's problems.
Maybe we need to re- think and reinstitute Curfew time fo today's minors. Parental Controls in our own homes and leave crooked governments out of it. Just look at what's actually going on in Canada and build " The Wall of Shame to our North as well.
What would I do? I know what I would do if I was Jaimie...point at the door and say 'Well, for starters, there are four guys on the other side of that door, all wearing the same jackets and they're the ones that kicked my dad's ass."
I get in my feed this short about a bunch of cruddy JDs. Gee whiz, if that ain't the worst. Hey, guys, Jimmy got a letter from his ma. Jimmy, read us the letter, and don't leave out the parts about that sweetheart of yours. Joe, you see that picture of his girl? Built...like...a...brick.
that is one tough gang of 30 year old high school students!
Yeah, it's the Martin Milner gang.
I'll be darned! It's Todd Styles of "Route 66".
Nahhh!
They got so caught up in their antics that they had to repeat high school a few times
* With nicely tailored club jackets! ☺
Nasty gang! They flunked out and have been held back in high school at least 15 years. Not one of them looks under thirty,
Well, Jamie never did his homework and went out every night… for 15 years…
One of them actually has male patterned baldness.
these dudes stealing pencils lmao
A mechanical pencil was very high-tech in the 50s!
If they'd half kill a man for a mechanical pencil, imagine what they'd do for real money.
They could’ve took his wallet but no
Wow! This is one of the most dramatic films of this type I’ve ever seen!
I still feel like a delinquent, I love root beer floats, and I'm 30... This looks like the gang for me!
I'm 76 and lived it! Only I stayed home and did my homework!
Shame on you!
Delinquency is for life. Root beer in, root beer out.
@@purdhupley7864 Haha got that root beer flowing in your veins 😆
The gang patch looked like the design on my Mighty Mouse underwear fifty years ago.
Please remember these gang patches we're hand crafted long before Martha Stewart came out with a fool proof gang patch stencil kit.

Indeed the proper name of this film should have been -
"You Kicked My Daddy's Ass"
Yeah, but it took four of them.
Gee these fellas were swell actors!
"Son, you have angel hair pasta on your shirt!"
The "teenagers" look like guys in their 30's.
delavalmilker back then, that's how kids in their early 20s looked. :)
These are much better than modern TV.
Has this EVER actually happened?
COMON! Your highschool friends are casually beating up adults... And it just so happens to be your DAD? This is surreal as heck
That is the least scary gang on the planet. They sewed boy scout patches on their letterman jackets🤣

They used to be called bodgies and widgies back in the fifties in Australia.
"Aw cut it out, we'll get in a jam!"
This is jolly exciting stuff. Thank you for posting it.
The Malt shop ...so deliquent
He ripped off that patch and slammed it down with no sound effects. The idea that they stole his dad’s pencil is enough for Jamie to change his ways
This one had me on the edge! Even with that loud door bang at 8:50
At 11:27 you see Bret Waller who was in a few Social Hygiene films, like The Snob, and The Trouble Maker. He later worked at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
These dudes had money to buy cars go out for food everyday and hang out together at the same time I’m so fucking jealous.
So funny how the gang was scared of the skinny old teacher
Careful, gentlemen! She carries a machine gun in her bustle!
Right? That wouldn’t happen now, teacher would get knocked out and admin would look the other way. I live in Colorado and they’re trying to pass a bill where any child under 12 could not be prosecuted from any dangerous or violent crime except murder 🙄
That skinny old teacher gave them the evil eye…
that is one well crafted felt patch, the "gang" wear!
They’re living in a gangsters paradise 😂

Didn't he call the cops?
Shouldn't the "boys" get assault charges?
The defunded police?
We need more teachers like the lady teacher in the hall. Nobody would be sleeping with their teacher.
She looks like Miss Grundy in the Archie Comics.Now we need Mr. Weatherbee. Not the Riverdale characters but the Archie comics.
They probably would have slept with her when she started her career. Which was right after the end of the Civil War…
@@sheriheffner2098 I thought the exact same thing. Too bad they didn’t have Mr.Weatherby. Or professor Flutesnoot. Lol
@@johngore7744 I thought that too!
Kinda loving these..
Tunnel Snakes Rule!!
Not as much as the Atom Cats. Zeke is the king of Coolsville, daddy-o.
Not as good as the Kings (even tho thats a completely different game)
The warriors are the best.
The Sharks!
The sharts
Dang. We been baited by a 1955 educational video. Way to leave us with a cliffhanger.
So they talked like old people even when they were 45 year old high school students?? amazing
They’re so excited about a pencil!

dang the dude they bumped in the rear at first looked like he could have been in the Italian Mob. Big mistake...
It basically said “ Don’t be a fuckup kids!”
🎵 No-no-no I’m not a juvenile delinquent 🎵
The patch is from trumps space force
Kevin Denning LoL
Flag on the play. Unnecessary Trump reference.
I WANT TO KNOW THE FREAKING ENDING damn't those video are good

the guy in the white car is special forces and crushes the 3 hooligans windpipes

"What would YOU say?".... (said in a sinister, evil scientist voice)...hehe
I love the stock music footage (like from the old b&w Superman shows in the early 50s) See 7:53 - 8:50.

Just like today as always. Only difference is that they are even more violent.
The Metropolitan voice will forever be a classic to me idc what anyone thinks 😂😂😂
Keep watching these films thinking how none of them wear jeans. They do here but it's the bad guys that do.
It's weird, watching this without the comedic commentary. MST3K did this short before "The Atomic Brain".
Is it me or does the leader of the gang look like a young Lee Majors?
And you people said this old attitude was wrong. Seems pretty accurate to me. We need to revisit the "corny" stamp of condemnation that they've assigned these obvious "truths".

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Those 50's delinquents are all alike, just as back in the 90's West side compton.

Ain't nothing changed but the way we look since then
Sal Lin yeah we could relate too them
Little did the lost generation know is that one day this would be even wrose.
It would be their great grandchildren doing it.

This is PSA (Public Sevice Announcement) programming so the filming maybe highly stylized theoretical to many observers.
