CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Reg (Paul Newman) arrives at the train station to meet The Chiefs' new recruits - the Hanson Brothers. Owner Joe McGrath (Strother Martin) relays a story to Reg about a "terrible masturbator."
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Paul Newman plays Reggie Dunlop, the coach of a pathetic minor-league American hockey team. His career at a standstill and his marriage in tatters, Dunlop has nothing to lose by taking on a new group of players who are one evolutionary step above Neanderthals. Only when the team begins winning does he decide to get behind these players, and to encourage the rest of the team to play as down-and-dirty as the newcomers. Straight-arrow team member Ned Braden (Michael Ontkean) resents this influx of gonzo talent, preferring to play clean. As the film's multitude of subplots play themselves out, Dunlop does his best to keep the outraged Braden on the team. Slap Shot is the sort of film for which the "R" rating was invented: Its nonstop barrage of profanity and its raunchy action sequences are of such intensity that the film will probably never be shown intact on commercial television.

I remember seeing this with my Dad at the State Street Theater in Schenectady NY. Union College had just started their hockey program under the legendary Ned Harkness. Union started winning from the first drop and later we found out why. Locally we were a bit hockey crazed so we had to see this movie. Fond memories! It really captures the feeling of living in the Northeast in the mid-seventies. The factory closings, etc.... The bar scenes, I can smell the stale beer and the lighting and music are spot on. This is one of those movies you lock onto while channel surfing. It doesn't matter how far into the movie it is. Goodfellas is that way also.

Dede Allen's editing was crucial and atypical, she worked with Paul Newman in "The Hustler" which made it more comfortable... as Mr. Newman made all who worked with him feel that way.

This movie came out at a time when my family were huge hockey fans. Had season tix to our local IHL team and went to every home game and many away games as well. We saw this flick as a family, and even though Mom was worried about the harsh language penetrating our young ears, we STILL all laughed or asses off. I believe the book made it's rounds through the house as well.. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen, even to this day!!

I grew up in Canada. This movie is a national treasure because it’s really how we played hockey back in the day. I remember taking a stick to the teeth when I was about 14.
