Pic­ture from here

There was a movie I saw in either my pre-teen or early teenage years that I’ve been try­ing to track down.   If I remem­ber it may have been a cana­dian movie.   It was aired on Chan­nel 43 or Chan­nel 19 in the late eight­ies or early nineties (that doesn’t really help when the movie was actu­ally released).  The plot line involved a teacher and her stu­dents being kid­napped.   They were taken to an old farm which seemed to have an under­ground complex???  

The kidnappers/attackers all wore masks that were howard the duck­ish, but one was defin­tely Daffy Duck, and the other kid­nap­pers did refer to him as Daffy.   At one part in the movie Daffy had his head chopped off, when they found the body they pushed to wake him and the head fell off and rolled to the side.  In the big cli­mac­tic scene the teacher and one of the older male stu­dents stripped down to their under­wear and swam through an under­gound stream/p[assageway.  Along the way there was air pock­ets they strug­gled to suck air from, and even­tu­ally they made it free. 

Is it a good movie.  No I think it’s very much B-movie fair, expe­cially from the mem­o­ries I’ve imparted out to you.   I used to have this movie recorded off of tv and onto VHS.   What I would like to know is the title of this film, and try to hunt it down to watch it one last time. 

Can you help me?

  • I now have a title - now I just need to get it in to relive the memories

  • Thanks for the help - If I get a chance later I'll work on tracking it down through that venue - it's more an itch that needs scratched then anything important.
  • Gah! This very movie was discussed in "Ask the AV Club" (http://www.avclub.com/content/topics/Ask_The_A....) this summer. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the movie, and just browsing through the last few months of columns, I couldn't find the reference to it. But if you have time, you can probably find it in the archive there.
