The Hollywood Knights

Funny as hell

Great movie

Fun and plenty of nice hot rods.

Featuring cool cars and hilarious high school high jinks in this " last night at the local hangout before everything changes" comedy. A standout performance by a young Robert Wuhl. Very early performances by Michelle Pfeiffer (her first movie!), Tony Danza (his first movie!), and a very young, very funny, Fran Dresher.Plus you get Leigh French, Joyce Hyser. Stuart Pankin Richard Schaal, little Moosie Drier, Hoyt Axton and more!Overall an enjoyable comedy that will keep you laughing throughout!

I saw THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS when it first came out about twenty plus years ago and I remember the audience in stitches througout the movie. There is an undermining sense of comraderie behind all the sophomoric hijinks and pranks when the 'Knights'( a "car club" rather than a street gang) are together. It is Halloween night and they just want to cruise the Hollywood Boulevard having one great night before their beloved hangout, "Tubbies" (a hamburger drive-in joint) is about to be shut down by the city council to make way for a new office complex, but it is also a way to get rid of the HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS. Also, the 'Knights' are hazing new recruits by stripping them naked and leaving them out in the middle of nowhere. They must make it back into town to get to a local radio station, and then make a dedication on the air. The rest of the 'Knights' spend the whole movie crashing different functions and getting into all kinds of mischief while getting two police officers in hot water (is there lyrics to the theme song of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA?). 'KNIGHTS' has been shown occasionally on cable in which some scenes were edited and on regular tv (in which it is butchered beyond recognition). In this reviewer's mind, it is consistantly funnier than PORKEY'S. The film is basically a cross between AMERICAN GRAFFITI and ANIMAL HOUSE but it stands on its own as a comedy cult classic. Now it is released on DVD uncut, uncensored, and in widescreen. Robert Whul, as the hilarious Newbaume, is the stand out talent in this movie. His so-called 'performance' of "Volare" in front of a high school pep ralley alone is hilarious and worth the price of the DVD. The other characters, gags and the soundtrack are excellent. The only time the film slows is during the scenes with Tony Danza and Michelle Pfieffer, but it is a minor complaint. Overall, an overlooked comedy gem worth a second look. Note: Look for Fran Drescher and TK Carter in supporting roles.

what can I say.... this movie is a CLASSIC!!! IF you're a fan of old hot-rod cars, old 60's music and good comedy then this is the movie for you

Arrived on time. Like new. One of my favorite movies

A very humorous movie that is very close to the storyline of American Graffiti but I found it to be more comical and a great selection of muscle rars of that great era.... Highly Recommended!
