Newman was in his 50’s when he did that film and it was a pretty physical movie. It is flat out one of the funniest I had ever seen. The Hanson Brothers alone made that film just so wild.

I missed “Slap Shot” at the theater but enjoyed it years later when I saw it on TV. It is both entertaining and true to its subject matter.

Slapshot is both wise and incredibly funny right from the start. It's kind of amazing it was written by a woman. Obviously the kind of woman every man wants to meet! George Roy Hill was a genius director.
Five stars.

The original was so much better than the Disney remake. A subtle masterpiece.

Took the author 5 paragraphs to mention Paul Newman’s name.
Great Newman flick.

I get a sense that this movie and its “cult” attachments today are more popular among people who aren’t serious hockey fans and players. If anything, it was a caricature of the awful quality of professional hockey that was seen during the rapid expansion of the NHL from 1967 through 1974.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched it from start to finish.

Well, that brand of hockey was more fun and polite than the Euro/US NCAA influenced garbage we have had in the NHL the last number of years.
