Critical reception

Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com wrote that Punk Vacation "is undeniably amusing, tickling in a manner only ragtag nonsense can", calling it "a clean, mean machine of goofballery with a distinct period perspective, and while a viewing requires heavy lifting in the tolerance department, the reward is a generous serving of schlock that never bores or fails to amaze with its creative limitations."[1] Annie Choi of Bleeding Skull! wrote that the film "languishes into a mediocre-at-best revenge story with no defining insanity. There are no moments that excite, stun, amuse, or even confuse."[3] She criticized the lack of "wild antics" from the punk characters, as well as the lack of punk music in the film, writing: "Clearly, one-time director Stanley Lewis had never seen a punk in his life."[3]

Home media

The film was released on VHS in 1990.[4] On July 9, 2013, the film was released on DVD and Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome.[5] On May 31, 2022 a limited re-release of the film on VHS was put out by Vinegar Syndrome and Lunchmeat.
