Notes[]
- This was the third of several films in the Teen Agers series to become RiffTrax Presents productions in the Bridget & Mary Jo series.
- This was the final Teen Agers film in which the characters of Addie Rogers (played here by Anne Rooney) and Jimmy Forrest (played by Jackie Moran) appear.
- In this film, Jimmy and Roy attend the rival high school, rather than being schoolmates of the other teenagers as in the previous two films. Their change in schools is not explained.
- Joe DeRita appears as Tiny, replacing Murray Davis from the previous two Teen Agers films. DeRita would later become one of the Three Stooges as "Curly Joe".
