Slap Shot (25th Anniversary Special Edition) Review

As "Caddyshack" is a must own for golfers, "Slapshot" is a must own for anyone who ever laced them up. Paul Newman is more than believeable as just about washed up Reggie Dunlap and brings a centering influence to a movie that could have gone up in a cheap laugh or two. Mixed with the antics of the Hanson brothers (the foil, the race car set in the hotel room) this movie is alive with lines that you hear in NHL locker rooms 25 years later (everyone from Sidney Crosby to the assistant locker room guy knows "You go to the box and you feel shame"). Every hockey player you know needs a copy of this movie.

Slap Shot (25th Anniversary Special Edition) Overview

A FAILING ICE HOCKEY TEAM FINDS SUCCESS USING CONSTANT FIGHTING AND VIOLENCE DURING GAMES.

Slap Shot (25th Anniversary Special Edition) Specifications

Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. One of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for the gusto in terms of capturing the violence of this world, his instinct for comedy has never been sharper. Great support from Strother Martin, Paul Dooley, and the rest. --Tom Keogh
