Bullies is a 1986 Canadian-American action drama thriller film directed by Paul Lynch and starring Jonathan Crombie, Janet-Laine Green, Stephen Hunter, and Olivia d'Abo. In a story that has elicited occasional comparisons to Romeo and Juliet, a vendetta arises from the forbidden relationship between a teenage girl, whose clan terrorizes a small town, and the son of a newly arrived family. The film received polarized reviews, which often praised its craftsmanship while questioning the ethics of its vigilante violence.
