Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jaybone A sort of comedic companion to American Graffiti, this movie saw its popularity blossom when it was first aired on cable TV in 1982, two years after its theatrical release. Along with Porky's, the film helped to usher in a golden age for the raunchy teenage sex comedy, and it's a classic in the genre for sure. Additionally, Fran Drescher and Michelle Pfeiffer both looked amazing in this film, but I've always been more of a Drescher kinda guy. Also, one of the greatest Punk bands EVER took their name from the movie's notorious character, Newbomb Turk. Sadly, the New Bomb Turks are currently defunct, but they ROCKED, as well as having a sense of humor that matched Robert Wuhl's character in the movie. See the film...hear the band!

preppy-3 This takes place in Hollywood on Halloween night in 1965. A popular teen hangout is being closed down. The main group there--the Hollywood Knights--decide to see it close down with a bang by playing stupid, unfunny and tasteless jokes on the adults and cops (all of whom are portrayed as total idiots). There's also two serious stories about a Knight going off to Vietnam and two lovers (Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer) whose relationship is falling apart.There's nothing wrong with crude humor. I'm no fan of "Animal House" but it did have its moments. This however has none. All the jokes are just really stupid, crude and not even remotely funny. I didn't even crack a smile once! The dramatic scenes (there aren't many) aren't any better. They're badly written, directed and acted. It's especially surprising seeing such a talented actress as Pfeiffer giving a truly lousy performance--but the script is against her. Danza doesn't fare much better. The film looks cheap, moves in jerks and leaps (it was incredible how ineptly the multiple story lines are handled) and is just boring.The only reason to see this is to see Danza, Pfeiffer, Robert Wuhl and Fran Drescher all so young and before they hit it big. Drescher is lots of fun especially. Also there's a GREAT soundtrack of oldies. But, all in all, this is just moronic and forgettable. However this inexplicably has a following. Use your own judgment.

eldontyrrell A soon to be ex-friend of mine lent me his DVD copy of this trash, and it may very well be that "Hollywood Knights" is the, repeat, the worst movie I have ever seen, ever. It is no more than a meaningless collection of unfunny vignettes that had to have been embarrassing to film for the poor people involved on both sides of the camera. I cannot get over how bad either the writing, or the acting, or (at times) the writing *and* the acting was. To get it out of the way early, every single thing involving the cops was completely unfunny, terribly written, and terribly acted -- every single thing. The terrible writing is not the actors' fault, but the absolutely horrid acting is. Oh, and I forgot to remember to have tears come to my eyes whenever The Serious Moments were spewed across the screen, meaning the dude going to Veet Nam and that incredibly well fleshed-out relationship between the Tony Danza & Michelle Pfeiffer "characters". Um, right. I'm running out of brain capacity trying to think of all the other "um, right" moments...a cheerleader "forgets" to wear underwear -- um, right...the pledges run across not one but three stereotyped groups of blacks -- um, right...the cops...the kid with the skateboard...the "college guy" with the pipe...two Asian senior citizens hot-rodding a Cobra...repeat after me: "um, right".Among the few (hell, the only) who marginally escape the carnage, well, Wuhl showed maturity beyond his (29!) years by clearly recognizing he was saddled with absolute dog schism, but deciding to play it out just like the brass said to, subsequently giving them (and the public) no one to blame but themselves. Meanwhile, The Nanny gave some proof she might eventually be able to act -- might -- but clearly wasn't shrewd enough to play above the material. So aside from her giving the audience a little crotch shot from the back of Newbomb Turk's van, there wasn't much else to go on. Meanwhile, by the time the flick was over, I realized that the only laugh I got -- the ONLY LAUGH I GOT -- was when the poor geek walked balls-first into that concrete pole. OK, maybe that, and the fact that someone would be named "Newbomb Turk".Oh, and thank God the DVD comes in widescreen format too, because I would have been disappointed if I had missed something important in the way the director framed some of the shots.Ninety minutes you can never have back.

dsnyder1 Sort of American GRAFFITI MEETS ANIMAL HOUSE.It's funny & very lowbrow.Look at how many of the actors in their first feature went on to great success.Michelle Pfeiffer has several Oscar nominations to her credit.Robert Wuhl has been in several movies since.Stuart Pankin did NOT NECESSARILY THE NEWS & DINOSAURS.Fran Drescher was THE NANNY.Gary Graham had a recurring role on ENTERPRISE.My only disappointment was no "where are they now?" segment at the end.I also sort of hoped for a sequel.I recently bought the DVD,director Floyd Mutrux's commentary is very interesting.Any old car buff will love the autos used in the drag race & Tubby's Drive-In scenes.
