In what was conceived as his homage to the TV series DRAGNET and the film noir of the 1930s and 1940s, Wood developed this vehicle for stars Steve Reeves and Delores Fuller, his wife. The story is about a young criminal who kills a cop and has plastic surgery to alter his face. The film's title, however, is misleading; the only mention of "jail bait" in the film is made in reference to a gun! The Rhino version is a "Director's Cut" (!) with the striptease sequence. [More]

Reviews for Jail Bait
The tale of a bad seed immersed in that most horrific of crimes, unregistered gun ownership.
This is Wood's attempt to be taken seriously, and he makes this the best film he has ever made.
