Coach being thoroughly unconcerned with winning was a good idea.

It is unsurprising that he has the Santa Anita race track calendar on the wall.

I've never had the heart to look up Susan Ursutti's real age at the time of this movie.

Even if you assume they grew up together since being little kids and he's just oblivious to being anything other than friends, it's almost inexcusable.

Principal Thorn can hold a grudge. Give the guy that. Poor Scott's mom has been dead for years and he's still a dick about it.

Are these opening teases that he's a wolf any better if it's a surprise? Like, is it better if the movie had a different name and advertising doesn't give up the premise?

Michael J. Fox has never been able to mask his Canadian accent when he says "sorry" in an acting part. Never.

Stiles was actually 28 here, so it's ironic that the liquor store guy is being such a dick.

Boof was also 28, per Wikipedia.

My impression is this is such an insanely small town there's no way the liquor store guy doesn't know every teenager in town on sight.

He was in a hilarious skit in "Amazon Women On The Moon" about buying condoms and being a contest winner. Underrated movie.

I realize why writers do it, but it's a perpetual pet peeve when a character walks into a bar and orders "a beer" and the bartender never even asks what brand.

No joke, the music rights for "Surfin USA" might have been one of the biggest expenses on this movie, Fox's salary included.

Pic-n-Save and Jack-in-the-Box tag this as SoCal I think.

Especially passing Jack in the Box twice.

Michael J. Fox would have made a kick-ass Frodo Baggins frankly (if those movies were made 25 years earlier).

Odds that two parking spaces would be available directly in front of this massive house party?

I don't approve of Boof cock-blocking Scott here, but you have to appreciate the initiative.

Also, Scott is an idiot.

I also feel that Styles could have hosted MTV's "Remote Control".

I mean, I didn't mean to think this, but this movie is better than I remember. The basketball scenes are still pretty grim though.

It takes entirely too long to get to the werewolf reveal. Act 1 is supposed to end around 15 minutes. Obviously, you know what you're getting from the name and advertising, but...
