DVD: "Slap Shot" (1977) - Universal Home Video

Puttin' on the Foil...Oggie Oglethorpe...The Machine Took My Quarter...Old-Time Hockey, like Eddie Shore! This is it - the funniest, grittiest, most realistic sports movie ever made, and a film any true hockey fan can recite from memory start to finish! Oscar-winning director George Roy Hill's adaptation of Nancy Dowd's script provides a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at minor league hockey in the 1970s, turning matinee idol Paul Newman into a hockey legend, and The Hanson Brothers into hockey icons. Landing a solid #5 on Sports Illustrated's list of the top sports movies of all-time, there's not much more to be said about this one, other than the fact that if your hockey DVD collection doesn't include Slap Shot, it's not complete! DVD includes running commentary track by the Hanson Brothers themselves! And, if you've been waiting anxiously to add this to your collection, you'll be so glad to know that we actually have this item in stock and ready to ship now - as you know, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere else!
