Slap Shot is a big hockey comedy. It’s a hilarious, gross, completely wild joyride through the trials of a failing 70′s steelmill-town based, utterly amateur hockey team. Failing, that is, until their players resort to pure violence in an attempt to preserve their franchise alive.
Paul Newman plays the womanizing player/coach who, after a series of embarassing losses (including one to a visitng team’s center who’s flat drunk) needs to work with a 3 brother gang of misfits, who all spy alike and have an incredibly aggressive style of playing.
Chaos insues when Newman’s character decides to finally play these “goons” with his other teammates, and he watches as the fan contaminated increases when they depart to physically smash – without any appreciate for the game – the opposing teammates in an series of hysterical scenes that combine the best in hockey photography with hilariously explicit dialouge and violence. The shot of the goon’s nonchalanty skating past the visitor’s box and smacking each of them in the head with their sticks is classic.

This action scenes in this movie is everything you wished your NFL highlight tapes to be. The DVD itself is sterling quality, including the apt film soundtrack (copyright limitation prevented some of the songs from appearing on the VHS and cable versions) .
Extra bonus features are delicate nonexistent – impartial some scene selections and generic Actor Profiles that were prelevant in the first generation of DVDs created a couple years ago – but the quality and entertainment value of the movie more than makes up for these shortcomings.
Ask hardcore hockey fans (the kind that are familiar with the Montreal Maroons or that understand that present-day hockey is virtually figure-skating compared to the seventies) what their celebrated sports movie is, or ask hockey pros what their accepted sports movie is; probably more than half the time, you’ll hear “Slap Shot”. Some “serious” sports films suffer from self-importance or a lack of realism; try watching a proper war documentary for staunch life-and-death situations. Thankfully, “Slap Shot” doesn’t win itself terribly seriously yet composed manages to paint an upright, believable relate.

Positive, the humor is indecent and gross, but significant to paint a somewhat just record of `70′s minor league hockey (surely these guys weren’t discussing Plato or speaking in blue-blood accents) . It may be offensive to uninitiated people (e.g. people who don’t seek hockey or team sports in general), but the humor is oft-hilarious for hockey fans.
Paul Newman plays crafty, alternately immoral and charming player-coach Reg Dunlop, leader of the mediocre minor league Charlestown Chiefs (though in reality the movie was filmed in Johnstown, PA) . Shrinking that the team is going to fold (now that the sizable mill in town is closing), Reg concocts a method in which he’ll fetch a procedure to beget the team better and pleasurable in the hopes that the yet-unknown owner will opt to sell the team rather than disband it.

What eventually generates interest and success in the team is their change to a rough-and-tumble style of play, mercilessly beating on opponents (a la the typical style of play for many `70′s teams), largely thanks to the infusion of the three Hanson brothers (who in dependable life actually were minor-league bruisers), who also provide considerable of the humor in the film. Michael Ontkean plays Ned Braden, the Ivy Leaguer who is a skilled scorer and naturally is dejected with the fight-first direction of the team. His dysfunctional relationship with his young alcoholic wife serves as a subplot and also reminds Reg of his have unfortunate marriage, largely due to his hockey life.
The film is chubby of fantastically humorous moments: Reg’s disbelief upon seeing the Hanson’s for the first time (“They brought their f**kin’ toys with `em!”), the players being forced to do a fashion reveal that goes awry when one of the players strips, the gigantic Strother Martin as the cheapskate conniving general manager, the French-Canadian goaltender having hallucinations after being pummeled with shots, the Hansons starting a fight before the national anthem even starts, etc.
This is definitely one of the best sports films ever made (both in terms of comedy, and strangely, realism) ; don’t put a question to anything highbrow, though, “THIS IS HOCKEY!” as the Chiefs rug-adorned announcer yells as the Chiefs are mercilessly pummeling their opponents.
