Gimme an 'F' is a 1984 film. The plot centers on a competition between high-school cheerleading squads - and one squad in particular, the Moline Ducks, is poor. The competition takes place at a camp run by middle-aged Bucky Berkshire (John Karlen), who this year decides to place a bet with his best instructor Tom Hamilton (Stephen Shellen) that he cannot make the woeful Ducks into a team that can beat the top-rated Falcons. If Berkshire loses, he pays up $10,000, and if Hamilton loses, he has to work another five years at the camp. As the teams get ready for their rounds of competition, several dance sequences, various teen pranks, and the usual sexual situations common in teen comedies weave their way through the storyline.
[edit] Deleted scenes
An additional 56 minutes of footage was shot and never used. The scenes were written by an unnamed writer and not the films original writer, James V. Hart. Only one scene, Pam and Bucky in Bucky's cabin, was an extension of a scene written by Hart. At first, producers wanted the movie to be a wild sex comedy. But, as shooting progressed, the idea of an underdog story became clearer and more developed. Feeling that the film could be both, first time director Paul Justman kept shooting the sex scenes. The inexperienced director was overwhelmed in the editing room, unable to decide which sex scenes, if any, could make the cut. Since the scenes were written by a ghost writer, they did not make sense when combined with the rest of the movie. Dreading expensive reshoots, producers cut out all of the nudity altogether. Scenes are listed in the order by which they were intended to shown in the film:
- A sex scene between Sissy and Roscoe in the beginning of the movie. In this scene, Sissy is topless and is riding Roscoe while cheering: 4 minutes 12 seconds.
- A sex scene between Tommy and Pheobe in the middle of the movie: 1 minute. - Roscoe and Sissy having sex in the woods - 3 minutes.
- A shower scene between Sissy and Roscoe. In this scene, Roscoe and Sissy are having sex in the showers. They are almost caught when Pam walks in. Roscoe hides by crouching down in the shower. As Pam and Sissy talk, Roscoe performs oral sex on Sissy. The scene lasted 5 minutes 21 seconds.
- Sissy and Roscoe trying to have sex. In this scene, Sissy and Roscoe try to have sex, but Roscoe's condoms keep breaking - 6 minutes
- A short sex scene between Sissy and Roscoe: 3 minutes. In this scene, Roscoe and Sissy have sex in Roscoe's cabin.
- Sissy and Roscoe: 1 minute. Sissy and Roscoe have a quickie in Sissy's cabin.
- A sex scene between Pam and Roscoe. In this scene, Roscoe is drinking beer. Pam catches him. She tells him she noticed him in the shower with Sissy. She tells Roscoe that she heard all about him. She rips off her top and jumps on top of him. This scene is very graphic and features several shots of Jennifer Cooke's naked body. The scene lasted 3 minutes 40 seconds.
- Roscoe apologizing to Sissy: 2 minutes. Roscoe apologizes to Sissy for sleeping with Demon Joanna.
- An extended version of the sex scene between Pam and Bucky. In this scene, Pam does several bawdy cheers while topless and on top of Bucky. 4 minutes 18 seconds.

- The lost ending. In this scene, considered the movies long lost ending, Pam and Bucky are in a hotel room, getting ready to have sex. This scene is inter-cut with a scene of Sissy and Roscoe having loud wild sex in the next room. Bucky yells and slams his fist against the wall. Roscoe recognizes Bucky's voice and stops having sex. As Sissy calls Roscoe to bed, Roscoe grabs his camera and tells Sissy to put on some clothes. Pam and Bucky start making love violently and loudly. Just as they are finishing, the firm alarm goes off and the sprinkler system starts. They run out of the room and are greeted by Roscoe who takes a picture of the naked couple. The films ends with a shot of a newspaper headline that reads "Cheerleading Camp Chief Caught in torrid sex scandal with former camper!" The entire scene series lasts over 12 minutes.
