I saw the movie years ago and wanted a copy to show my wife. We both enjoyed it thoroughly.Thanks for this/

Who wouldn't love this movie. Delivery was fast and we love the movie. The Hanson brothers talk through one of the cuts, which was awesome to listen to.

This product came very fast in the mail, was well packaged and was brand new when i opened it! I was very very happy with my purchase

The product arrived in perfect condition. I have not had the chance to watch it as yet but I am sure it will be great. Thank you.

Paul Newman is brilliant in what has to be the greatest hockey movie ever made. Newman plays Reggie Dunlop an over-the-hill player/coach of a last place hockey club, which is about to go bankrupt as the steel town of Charlestown is about to close its primary source of income, the steel mill. With nothing left to lose Coach Dunlop begins to "use his imagination and roll with it" by getting his players to play "Old-Time Hockey" in hopes of getting intrest in selling the team to a group of Florida Businessmen. Laughs abound from an excellent supporting class that includes Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean, Jennifer Warren, Lindsay Crouse and Jerry Houser. I found the DVD quality to be excellent. The greatest addition on the DVD over the video is the restored original soundtrack, with 70's classics from Leo Sayer, Elton John and Maxine Nightengale. If you love hockey, comedy and Paul Newman, this is a must have!

Absolutely hilarious!

A great hockey movie!

A lotta great lines!

Classic!

Many were amazed that SLAP SHOT was written by a woman when it was released in 1977. More amazing was that Nancy Dowd's original screenplay was robbed of an Oscar nomination in 1977. Dowd got the feel of the game and the players as perfect as the paint on the blue lines (her brother Ned Dowd plays the infamous Oggie Ogelthorpe in a nano-second cameo that has reverbs throughout the film). George Roy Hill works his A-list players, Newman, Strother Martin and the now heralded Hanson Brothers, into sports (not just sports films) legends. SLAP SHOT is a winner.

I don't have time to give a review that it at least 20 words long. What's wrong with just giving a star rating?

A classic for any sport fan. Crude humor and hockey violence makes for this movie with Paul Newman. Excellent doublage québécois, ça fait du bien d'entendre sacrer en bon québécois au lieu d'en français de France. Idéal pour une soirée entre chums !

I have been searching for the Original Slap Shot Movie for some time. It is a must see for the true blue hockey fan. Very funny, good hockey and a real gem of a movie.
