The original 80s flick starring Michael J. Fox.
Not the new TV show. I would be curious to watch that show, but I don't think
I'm necessarily the target audience for it.
This flick nearly drips with 80s awesomeness.
From the cool best friend tryin' to make a quick buck, to the next door
neighbor love interest, to the blond babe who is a total jerk, to all the fun
extras, this movie is a product of its times, and its times were cool.
Questions: What the hell happened to Scotty's
mom? He seems pretty sensitive about it when her death gets mocked and his dad
seemed pretty in love with her. Was her death Werewolf related?
Also, what's the deal with Lewis? That kid is,
like, the only one who isn't into the Teen Wolf without a reason. He just seems
to generally dislike Scott when he's wolfed out. Everyone else seems to have no
problem with the wolf except for the antagonists of the flick. And then there's
no payoff. How come Lewis doesn't come up and high five Scott at the end when
he wins the big game without the wolf? Why is that character even there?!
And then there's the coach. He's the best. Just
a gum chewin', knowledge spoutin' good time. He probably has one of my favorite
quotes in all of cinema. I hope I can write a line of dialogue that ever even
comes close to this:
"There are
three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep, never play
cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city, and never get involved
with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and
everything else is cream cheese."
