IT STARTED AS A GAME. CAMPERS AGAINST COUNSELORS. IT TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE, THAT BECAME A REVOLUTION.

A teen counselor at a boys camp leads the overthrow of its strict director and also the takeover of a nearby girls camp.

It's one of those obscure movies that once you see, you never forget.

Mind you, that isn't always good.

I can't eat certain sandwich meats without a song running through my head that features in the plot (that, surprisingly, is an actual song outside of the movie). But it's overall a solid watch just for the concept

This is much darker than you might expect from a PG-13 summer camp movie. The Butterfly Revolution was co-written by Penelope Spheeris, who would later go on to direct Wayne's World.

Penelope Spheeris, who would later go on to direct Wayne’s World.

She also did all three of the "Decline of Western Civilization" movies which are documentaries about punk rock and metal subcultures.

Yep! The first one is the definitive document of the OG SoCal punk scene as far as I am concerned.
