Recruits is a 1986 Canadian comedy film directed by Rafal Zielinski who had previously made Screwballs.

It was the third production from the team of Zielinski, Maurice Smith and Michael Dology, following Screwballs and Loose Screws for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures.

[2] Zielinski later said when making these movies "“I was young and didn’t realize the damage I was doing to my image and career.

I hated the movies I made and the Toronto film community looked down on me.

In Hollywood at least when people heard you worked for Corman, they’d say, ‘That’s great!’ but in Canada they were very snobby.”[3] The Atlanta Journal called it "as raw as a movie can be".
