Paul Newman takes the trophy in this all-time great late-night hockey movie mayhem.
"This movie was predictably hated by the critics for the violence, profanity and its low-rent subject matter of minor league hockey. Well, to Hell with them. We are talking about Paul Newman here." - Ruthless Reviews
"Might seem like the silliest, most outrageous piece of sports fiction that Hollywood has come up with. Turns out, it came pretty close to the real world of minor-league hockey, circa mid-1970s." - Jeff Merron, ESPN
"A raucous comedy about brawl-filled minor league hockey. It’s the best movie ever made about its sport; you can have your Miracle." - Stephen Silver, Tilt Magazine
This irreverent and hilarious look into the world of professional sports has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a struggling minor-league hockey team. To build up attendance at their games, management signs up the Hanson Brothers, three hard-charging players whose job is to demolish the opposition. Slap Shot's outrageous comedy, hard-hitting action, memorable lines and unforgettable characters have made this classic one of the all-time best late night sports movies ever.
