★★★★★ · Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! · Spuzz · 2004-11-13

A film about the hotly (I guess) debated topic of Blasting caps and all the menace it does on society when it falls in the wrong hands. After a brief intro of what a blasting cap IS, we then seague into the bizarre main plot of the story, which features 2 boys and a girl. For some inexplicable reason, the filmmakers decided to make the girl as tomboyish as possible. Anyways, in the first scene, she's playing with a plane, and one of the boys is trying to shoot it down by making a "uh uh uh uh" sound. The other boy arrives and accuses the girl of being a tomboy and playing with planes. No no!…

In 1968 my gradeschool held a special assembly to have a us watch this movie on a 16mm projector in our auditorium...I remember the barbecue scene vividly to this day. It ended with a display by a uniformed "official" who actually set off a real blasting cap in a metal strong-box on stage. The effect was unintended...rather than leave the audience fearful, it caused nearly every boy in the school to look for blasting caps in building sites for years afterwards...I never found any though...

★★★★★ · Blasting caps are very helpful in many ways. But, are not safe for kids or adults who do not know how to work blasting c · KFCiscool · 2009-09-05

I am a fan of construction and watching coal being mined. Anyway, that boy had a right to tell the dad that the other kid was going to throw the blasting cap on the fire and he should have calmly told the Dad instead of acting up like that.

★★★★ · If You See This Film, Don't Touch It! Leave It Where It Is and Tell Somebody Who Knows How to Handle It! · Christine Hennig · 2004-11-08

This cheaply-made film tries to warn kids away from playing with blasting caps. Tag and Chuck, after bullying Kathy, who bragged about a cookout her family was going to have for her fatherÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs birthday, ride their bikes up to visit Mr. Barrow, the local bicycle repairman and demolitions expert. While they wait for Mr. Barrow to fix TagÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs bike, Chuck finds a blasting cap and decides to sneak into KathyÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs familyÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs cookout and throw it into the barbecue grill. Tag doesnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt like the idea, so Chuck takes off in a huff, vowing to do it by himself. Tag lingers behind…

★★★★ · Faded, but nice shot of a Connie · lonestrikr · 2004-11-12

Wonderfully cheesy safety film. This film is badly faded, but it has a nice shot of a TWA Lockheed Constellation coming in for a landing.

I think dad oughta consider getting Kathy a strap on for Christmas. Worst case of penis envy I ever saw. I just bet the old man parades around naked in front of her in that house. That's what usually causes it. Too bad the kid got there in time. I'd a liked to see what that thing would do to that grill. Good movie for kids growing up around road construction or mining operations. By the way, how come when a boy gets caught wearing mommies high heels he gets beaten with a strap and sent off to military school?
