Powerful

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I was 10 when this movie came out. I remember watching it and laughing so hard my stomach hurt. Put your political correctness away and enjoys some good gags and awesome cars. I still watch it and find it just as funny as when I was a kid. It definitely brings back memories. Robert Wuhl is awesome in it.

"Hollywood Knights" is a tedious knock off of "American Graffiti", only with flashes of nudity to stand in for the nostalgia. Today it is only worth watching for the actors and actresses who would go on to become stars in TV and film, namely Fran Drescher, Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer. Robert Wuhl, a lesser star but still an Emmy winner, plays the main character.This character's name, "Newbomb Turk", represents the high point of the filmmaker's creativity. Aside from that, the only memorable scene is a bit where a cheerleader comes out to do a routine on a basketball court and isn't wearing any underwear, flashing the audience.Pfeiffer and Danza are only in the movie to add a "serious" love story note, and in this case "serious" means "tedious". There is no chemistry between them, with Pfeiffer looking as bored as we are. These parts are the low point of a bad movie. They're also the only parts I remember that really have much of a narrative; the movie is an episodic job like "The Last American Virgin", and also like that movie, it seems to deliberately avoid making you feel anything other than mirth, which would be okay if it were funny in the least.It isn't.

OK, First of all, It is an American Graffiti rip-off, but so what. Yeah, the actors don't look like they're in High School, but so what. It's crude, has virtually no plot, with the hero's outwitting the dim-witted cops time after time, but it's still a great way to spend some time looking at cars, hearing some great music and having fun. I rate this a six because some of the jokes fall flat, and the plot is very weak. If you want a coming of age movie, American Graffiti is better.I must say that Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie has never looked better. OMG she is so hot. You can just tell that this woman was going to be a star. She was around 22 years of age at the time of this movie. She has a bit part in the movie, but her attractiveness just jumps off of the screen. She appears in a car-hops outfit, but again wow, wow, wow. I don't remember if I saw this in the theater, but I do remember thinking the first time I saw this movie that this girl was going to be a superstar. If you appreciate just looking at beautiful women, like I do, just rent or buy this movie for her alone.Additional Irony - The Tony Danza character doesn't want Michelle to leave because she's going to be a big star and forget him. Talk about an unintentionally prescient scene. After this movie Pfeiffer did become a star, and Tony Danza became a ... sorta non-star. Kinda makes you think doesn't it. Maybe the writers knew something about the future after all?

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.
