Summary: The Bridge between Gone with the Wind and South Park BLU
Review: America had waited 40 years after Gone with the Wind for another work of equivalent merit when the Hollywood Knights was issued. Fortunately, it only took another 19 to have South Park. To appreciate the artistic lineage of these timeless masterpieces, one must study the Hollywood Knights, a very difficult occupation task in recent years, since it stopped being rerun on HBO and Cinemax. This wonderful film continues the rich tradition of body function humor in Western Civilization begun by Aristophanes and matured in Chaucer, Rabelais and Swift. No one can claim to be liberally educated without a familiarity with it and no one knows how hard they can laugh until they've seen it. By way of a recommendation, I specifically suggest that viewers keep an eye out for Robert Wuhl's virtuoso rendition of the classic Volare, the performance by Sasha Dubinsky, the world famous one armed violinist and the delivery of punch by Mintoff's caterers to the Beverly Hills Country Club. A profoundly good time is guaranteed for all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Reel Wuhlbuster!
Review: Arliss (The Early Years) is an apt "subtitle" forthis teen adventure. Similar to American Graffiti in theme but certainly lighter in tone.RobertWuhl is outstand in the lead role and its' a shame Hollywood hasn't found more work for this talented free style comic and actor. Mighty fine soundtrack and a super Saturday night video to watch with that "Old Gang" of yours.

Summary: "HEY GANG IT'S SURF SAM ON KBLA....."
Review: FINALLY this movie has come to video and DVD. This movie is without a doubt my favorite (watched 91 times since first viewing in 1984).It's about a group of high school kids who belong to a car club in Beverly Hills in 1965, Pulling pranks that dont hurt anyone,with the exception of the "PUNCH". Thier hangout (Tubby's) is enjoy it's last night in business and with a great cast(at the time they were unknowns), great old american cars/street rods, surrounded with a great soundtrack. I'm sure you will watch it as much as I have, so far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hollywood Knights - Finally out on DVD
Review: I can't believe it has taken so long for this title to finally appear on DVD or VHS. It is a hilarious look at life in the 50's. It's similar to Happy Days but with a touch of Porky's. I strongly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Hollywood Knights--I've waited 15 years!
Review: Absolutely one of the corniest but funniest movies I have ever seen. First saw it around 1984 or 85 on HBO late at night. Robert Wuhl is a crazy man in this movie as Newbomb Turk. Great cast of soon to be and current stars. Not the greatest movie ever made, but it's just great time! I'd recommend it for a party, or just for kicks. I'm so glad it's finally been released!

Rating: 5 stars

GET IT...!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hollywood Knights-A Hilarious "Cult-Classic".
Review: This 20-year old film is not to be missed. This coming May, 2000 will be the first time it will be available, so make sure it's on your list of movies to check out! The film takes place in 1965 at "Tubby's" Drive-In. The central character is Newbomb Turk(Robert Wuhl)and his rambunctious gang of "Knights" running around their Town and playing funny pranks on themselves, the bumbling police and their school. Hollywood Knights is considered to be the clone of the many "Drive-In" type movies, most notably, "American Graffiti"(1973) but I guarantee you will laugh your socks off. This film is also notorious for featuring the debut performances of, Robert Wuhl, Fran Drescher and Michelle Pfeiffer. Tony Danza, Stuart Pankin, and Gary Graham also appear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Danza and Pfeiffer?
Review: I find it ironic that Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer grace the cover of this DVD. Hands down, that honor belonged to Robert Wuhl whose Newbomb Turk character made this movie the classic that it is. Danza and Pfeiffer have bit parts as the "love interest" and their story does little to move this flick along, but I guess they were the prettiest and most recognizable faces in the movie. (Well, Michelle's was.) I'm proud to say that I actually paid money to see this in it's original theatre run, and that for years one of my proudest posessions was a taped copy from Cinemax. To this day, my brother and I can still get a laugh from each other by simply saying "Lawrence......Lawrence of Arabia". This video release was long overdue.
