Product Description:
This irreverent and hilarious look into the world of professional sports has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a struggling minor-league hockey team. To build up attendance at their games, management signs up the Hanson Brothers, three hard-charging players whose job is to demolish the opposition. 'Slap Shot's' outrageous comedy, hard-hitting action, memorable lines and unforgettable characters have made this classic one of the all-time best sports movies ever.
Amazon.com essential video:
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

THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME I COULD WATCH IT ALL THE TIME I WATCHED IT WHEN I WAS A KID AND STILL WATCH IT TODAY
Rating: - Here's what it is, here's what it ain't
Slap Shot is bottom-of-the-barrel minor league hockey.It's blue collar, living on the edge of desperation, rust belt culture.It's about a marginal business run for purposes irrelevant to sport.It's people miscast in life from hacks who see themselves as pros, to elitists who deign to play with the low-lifes.It's about people screwing up their relationships, about mis-communication and non-communication.It's about how people hurt each other in order to connect with one another.It's crude ...

Rating: - To hockey what "Bull Durham" is to baseball
Just one of those 'classic' sports movies. Aside from the 70s nostalgia, it's the fact that if you've ever worked or played in the minor leagues this movie will ring absolutely true. I finally burned out my old VHS version that I played every October when the NHL starts up. The names, the references, the laughs; even if you don't like hockey, "Slap Shot" can be appreciated for what it is - a look back at the bottom rung of a bygone era in sports.
Rating: - Damn Funny
This is a very funny movie. When I watched it the first time, I was just thinking "this is not how sports should be played, where is the sportsmanship." But then I watched it again a few days later, and I realized that it is more about how messed up things were in a town like this and in the '70's, and it suddenly made sense that they desperately wanted to keep their jobs, so they did whatever it took. There are a lot of classic lines in this movie, and it kept me laughing the whole time. How can anyone ... Read More
