Slap Shot
Slap Shot out slaps... out swears... out laughs...
Directed by George Roy Hill
Produced by Universal Pictures
A raucous, irreverent sports comedy that celebrates working-class camaraderie and underdog scrappiness through crude humor and on-ice mayhem.
To build up attendance at their games, the management of a struggling minor-league hockey team signs up the Hanson Brothers, three hard-charging players whose job is to demolish the opposition.
