This is actually a description of a clip from an old movie called Sergeant Deadhead starring Frankie Avalon. It isn't available on video as far as I know, which is bad because the clip would be great to watch.

Corporal Keaton was given the job of drilling a troop of Woman's Air force girls. They were all lined up in their dress uniform of white uniform dress, uniform caps and white sneakers.
Cpl Keaton sets of at the head of the troop, but after only a few feet he trips over his own feet and falls face down, lying at right angles to the march route. The first two girls step right over his body, though the second girl does stand on his cap as she marches off. The third girl steps on the small of his back and marhes over him, closely followed by the fourth girl who steps between his shoulders on her way over. They are followed by the rest of the troop in pairs, about 12 or 16 girls who all trample on his back as they march over him. The last girl steps on him and he lies there being envied by many of us.

Sneakfreak- Thanks for the recount of one of my all-time favorite movie clips! I saw the movie once on tv about 6 months ago, on the TMC channel, I think. I was just surfing and even though I knew of the clip from Flat Wayne's Under Pressure site, I didn't realize what I was watching till it was too late to get a tape in the VCR- I was heart-broken over that! I think your right about it not being available as I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere. Thanks again.

Well you have seen more than I have, I saw some stills of the scene posted on seekersbasement site about two years ago, but I didn't make a copy of them at the time and now they aren't on there anymore.
What was it like on the movie, worth watching? How long did it last, if you remember? I have searched the net for the movie but to no avail, if anyone knows how we can get it please let me know.
There is a site called videobeat which was able to provide the movie, but they seem to have stopped business.
That was me that put it on flat waynes site, he checked out the pics as well.

Hello Sneakfreak!Yes the clip is worth watching, if only I could find it again! :( The scene is realatively quick, although it is etched into my pea-brain forever. I haven't seen any stills, or real slow-motion video to count the number of girls that you can actually see step on Buster, but I would say that you can see, I would guess, only 5, maybe 6. The scene cuts away while the formation of girls is still marching over him-Damn the editor!:2guns: I don't know if the version I saw was edited even more for television to get commercial breaks in or not, but maybe you can see more in the theater-version.Like I said, I was channel surfing when I came across the movie, but I would say that it was with-in the first 15 minutes of the movie starting. If I was to stumple over a copy, I be sure to let you know where I found it. Maybe we should petition one of the old movie channels to have a Frankie Avalon movie marathon! Best wishes-Foottoy

They apparently will put any of those old movies on a tape for you, and Sergeant Deadhead is one of the titles they list.
However I haven't been able to get any response by e-mailing them, perhaps you could look into it from over there, I'm presuming you are in the USA? I sispect they might have closed odwn and the site is still active for some reason.
This is about the only place i have found that might have a copy and I have been looking around for a couple of years.

This site once had still shots of that clip, this is where i saw it. But they seem to have disapeared, apparently they are still in the archives of the site, but they have such a shit way of storing there pics I haven't been able to find it.
The site itself is devoted to mainly girls wearing sneakers, but no trample, about three trample pics amongst several thousand pics of girls in sneakers.

That's the pic. From the old version of http://www.geocities.com/flatwayne/underpressure.html
:D

[sneakfreak]

That's the pic for sure, thanks, how did you find that on his site? I have visited it several times and not seen any pics, is there a link I have missed?
The original set was a series of about five pics, but this was one of the best.

Yes, in fact I said "the old version". A couple of years ago that site contained also the pics of several of those movies. I don't know why now they have been removed.
