Summary: THE REAL HANSON BROTHERS
Review: To all of you who think the hanson brothers are a child musical group who umbopped themselves to stardom... your in for a real shock. This movie is the real hanson brothers. Slap Shot is a classic movie! the ground work for other sports parodies like Major Leauge and Necessary Roughness. If you cant laugh watching this movie , I suggest a funny bone transplant. Its a great nostalgic trip into 70's fashion, cars, and a killer soundtrack of 70's music.This cast of misfit hockey players, the french canadian goalie Denni Le Moiux's allergy to the fans, the iron leauges rejects the hanson bros., and the perverted humor of Morris( moe) is classic.Filled with hockey action on and off the rink, Slap Shot is a timeless and timefull classic. A MUST SEE!

Summary: What happened to the soundtrack??
Review: The movie is great! Several subplots roll into a great ending. WARNING! The VHS version that I have has a different soundtrack with all the great popular 70's songs replaced with some crummy generic sound alike music. A really big let down. It seems the DVD has the original soundtrack. The music is a big part on the movie. I sure hope they restore the original songs to the VHS version.

Summary: A Hoot.
Review: This movie is a real stitch. The Hansen boys are real winners. It'll help if you've ever lived where kids learn to skate before they walk, but most everyone will get the idea. If they had left a lot of the profanity out it would have still been pretty funny. The way it is, it would be best if kids didn't watch it for that reason.

Summary: At last, the original version is saved
Review: I have just received (and watched) the DVD version of "Slap Shot", and I thank the powers that be for restoring the original sound track to the movie. The generic music that was released on VHS took the heart out of the movie. With the restoration, and the excellent digital quality of the movie, my favorite film is complete. Now, a full 5 stars only because I can't give it 10.

Summary: PUTTING ON THE FOIL
Review: Granted, this isn't Woody Allen type humour. Lowbrow. Still, it isn't without some of the funniest scenes I have ever sat in a theatre and howled at. I was ten when this came out. My parents took me to see it as they felt any Paul Newman vehicle was worthy fare. HO HO HO. They were horrified by the violence and profanities which seemed never to end. I was laughing so hard during the Hansons' initial foray onto the ice that I nearly had an asthma attack--I was crying all over myself. No movie has ever made me laugh so hard. Meanwhile, the behind-the-green-door-of-professional-sports-as-big-business scenes are simply priceless(ever notice how the less-successful NHL squads fight more?). Finally, while Paul Newman is the major draw, the Hansons are one of hollywood's greatest comic inventions--Frankenstein's monsters on ice. Oh,and Strother Martin. The film is spotty and I can understand how someone might not be in the mood to watch this brand of humour. Nonetheless, there is in this film a good deal of classic, highly absurdist physical comedy which is matched nowhere else .

Summary: The best ice hockey movie ever
Review: This movie is one of the all time classics. And if you are an ice hockey fan it's a must to see or even own this masterpiece. The storyline can sometimes feel a little long but the action scenes from the ice makes uo for it. I have personally seen this movie more times than I can remember and I'll keep watching it every chance I get. And I recommend it to all my best friends

Summary: Slapshot grabs you by the balls and keeps you there.
Review: Slapshot rocks, bro'. The theme song rocked, too, bro'. Remember it: And it's all right and we're getting strong we got to get it right back where we started from, love can be ... Anyway, you get the point. Michael Ontkean turned in his best performance this side of Making Love with Kate Jackson and the man who played Ontkean's paramour in the film, Harry Hamlin; as an aside, Ontkean never resurrected his career after that ill-fated endeavor into the gay drama -- America just wasn't ready for it yet. Oh, back to Slapshot, the Hanson brothers remain screen legends even twenty-two years after their seminal performances. Love the goons, as well. Five mo'fo' stars, Jack.

Summary: Classic sports comedy
Review: This is one of the classics. Who are these people giving this film 1 star? Are they too uptight to understand the humour. The story is great - anyone who has been invlolved in minor league hockey should enjoy this movie. I was invlolved in Roller Hockey for 3 seasons and this movie captures the mood and essence of minor league hockey players and their "happy-go lucky" spirit about the game of hockey and the game of life. The story within the story captures today's sports world. The team owners threats to move the team to Florida have become a reality in the 1990's.
