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."[1] Screenshots of Eberhardt were printed onto T-shirts worn by Slash, the former guitarist of Guns N' Roses, in 2007.[1] Eberhardt was described as "highly amused" by Slash's wardrobe.[1]
