There are three rules that I live by:
1). Never get less than twelve hours sleep.
2). Never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city.
3). 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 - Coach Finstock (1985)
I love this film.
It helped me get through puberty.
I looked like a Yeti when I was twelve.
This film taught me that that's fine.

Teen Wolf is so likable I want to pinch its hairy little cheeks.
I watched the film last weekend and it was the first time seeing it in over 20+ years. It was a total hot water bottle movie. Back in the late 80’s I watched it too much, one of those films I used to rent every other week (The Last Starfighter or The Boy Who Could Fly in the weeks between) until it screened on tv when I could finally record it onto videotape. Seeing it again was like revisiting an old, beautiful, hairy friend, and that I watched it in the same place as I used to as a kid (my parents house) made it that little…
I loved this movie as a child but I don't think the film holds up beyond mere novelty. It is definitely fun to see some of the transformation scenes and encounter classic 80s archetypes like Styles and Boof but overall the film is poorly edited and shot. In addition, while I accept that norms regarding gender, race, sexuality were different in the 80s and before, the sexism in this film (male entitlement, groping, etc.) went a bit beyond what I am willing to chalk up to "just being the time."
WARNING: Do not surf on moving vehicles.
Someone in my neighbourhood tried it once. Having wiped out in the process, he ended up a vegetable after sustaining severe brain damage. A clear case of don't try this at home, kids.
Besides that downer anecdote, this movie is so much fun! I had no idea. Somehow I went through all of my teen years being completely aware of it, yet never once having seen it.
Teen Wolf starts of like Tick Wolf. For the first thirty minutes you could spend the whole time just sitting there ticking off a checklist of teen movie tropes (a game of trope bingo, anyone?). Trying to buy alcohol with no ID, crushing on the blonde…
I really would love to sit the Teen Wolf (tv show) writers down and ask them what details they pulled from this movie other than making stiles gay
Hey I'm not a lycanist or anything but this teen wolf guy has a clear physical advantage on the court. If I saw this guy on the court I would be petitioning for drug testing.
I find it kind of interesting that message of this movie is basically "show your pubes and people will think your cool". I'll tell you what kids there's nothing cool about car surfing, it's a very dangerous activity and you shouldn't succumb to the peer pressure of teen wolves.
