Also released as Teenage Runaways, this feature has an interesting cast of old school New York City porno stars in it as well as a soundtrack courtesy of Elda & The Stillettos, The Fast, The Spicy Bits and The Squirrels proving that Burning Angel wasn't the first to blend punk rock and porno! Though, technically, this version of the movie isn't porno. Carter Stevens originally shot Punk Rock as a XXX feature but when the success of Saturday Night Fever proved that music and drama was the new big thing, he went out and shot new footage, removed the hardcore bits and extended the running time to create this R-rated version of the film.

Straight for pay superstar Wade Nichols plays a private detective with a taste for Wild Turkey and poon named Jimmy Dillinger. He gets a phone call one day after making it with his lady friend, a girl who he has saved from a life of drugs and prostitution. Turns out her daddy paid him very handsomely for the job - he's just enjoying some fringe benefits on the side. After their talk he grabs his gun, and heads out to work - giving her a dildo to amuse herself with while he's gone which she wastes no time trying out.

Nichols heads out to meet 'Travis' and finds out that he's been shot, his dead body laying in the shower. While he's out, a hippy with a ZZ Top beard abducts his little big nosed girlfriend while she's still enjoying the dildo. It seems the criminal life she left behind hasn't forgotten about her and they want her back. It's at this point, through some corny voice over narration, we realize he's been set up. He figures she must have been involved in something bigger than he first realized and now he's going to head into the NYC underworld to get her back.

The cops show up (R. Bolla plays a detective) and ask him some question but they know he didn't kill Travis, and they let him go. He starts by trying to find her at some joint where Bobby Astyr is hanging out by a pinball machine. From there he finds a nightclub where a band made up of some gal in lingerie and her band mates (Elda & The Stillettos) play some Stooges style fuzz rock. They argue and fight a bit, their practice isn't going well, but Nichols manages to worm some information out of them. Turns out they know more than they're letting on, but he's no dummy, he'll find Jenny even if it kills him...

Punk Rock has enough sleaze and enough faux-punk attitude to work. Nichols makes a great P.I. (he looks a lot like Maurizio Merli in this movie), with his big moustache and corny noir-ish narration, and the supporting cast are fun too. The sex is a side point in this version, it's just barely there, but the sets are great - whether it be his scummy bachelor pad, the nightclub where the band plays, or the bar with countless amounts of J&B lined up on the shelf. There's also an unusual amount of pinball machine footage in this one, which is pretty keen, especially when lays a lady friend down on one so he can eat her out (in distinctly non-explicit fashion, of course).

The sleazy, saxophone filled noise rock that The Stillettos provides is wonky enough to work in a Plasmatics sort of way. They were apparently a pre-Blondie NYC punk band that did play during the seventies and in fact at one point in 1974 Debbie Harry was supposedly a member of the band. As mentioned, this version of the film also features a lot of great footage featuring The Fast, The Spicy Bits and The Squirrels (you've gotta love their platform shoes and high collared matching jackets!). While none of these bands ever got as big as The Stilettos, let alone stalwarts like Blondie or The Ramones, it's great to see them featured in the movie, particularly when you consider that so much of this added footage was shot inside Max's Kansas City, which next to CBGB, was probably the most important New York City venue for the then burgeoning punk rock scene. Throw in some great period footage of the St. Marks and Bleeker Street areas of the time, a killer soundtrack, and a genuinely decent storyline and this picture turns out to be a really enjoyable film with loads of historical value.
