    You've got to give credit to the Hollywood Knights. They may be crass, juvenile, sex-mad pranksters, but they have an open-door policy: nerds and jocks alike are welcome, as long as they show proper disrespect for authority. The Hollywood Knights, a minor 1980 cult comedy poised somewhere between the innocent nostalgia of American Graffiti and the raunchy humor of Animal House, chronicles the antics of a practical-joking high school gang on Halloween night, 1965. In tribute to the last night of their favorite hangout, a Beverly Hills drive-in marked for destruction by the snooty Chamber of Commerce, the gang's court jester Newbomb Turk (Robert Wuhl in his film debut) leads the Knights in an all-out assault on the forces of law and order, conformity, and good taste. Nestled in the parade of toilet humor, fart jokes, mooning rebels, and topless co-eds, however, are the ruminations of the end of an era: the times they are a changin'. The doo-wop and surf soundtrack gives way to Motown, the Mamas and the Papas, and the Byrds as high school sweethearts Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer weather the transition from puppy love to adult romance and Vietnam looms on the horizon. It's a schizophrenic film, bopping from juvenile anarchy to thoughtful drama and back again with a sloppy but energetic drive and a rowdy rebelliousness that will never be accused of sensitivity, decency, or dignity. Fran Drescher, Gary Graham, and a hilarious Stuart Pankin also star. --Sean Axmaker

    Product Description
    Mutrux's crude cult classic answer to AMERICAN GRAFITTI and ANIMAL HOUSE follows the comic exploits of the Hollywood Knights, a rowdy, prank-happy car club, and their screwball leader Newbomb Turk (Wuhl). When a group of Beverly Hills preppies decide to run the dclass pranksters out of town by closing down their hang-out--Tubby's Drive-in--the 'Knights (featuring a young Danza and Pfeiffer) unleash a chaotic string of practical jokes in retaliation, culminating in a hell-raising Halloween free-for-all. Long enjoying cable TV-fed cult status, the film's video release was held up for years due to music rights.

    5 out of 5 stars Hollywood Knights   May 6, 2009
    Kelvin Allen (Texas)
    It is good to go back a little and remember how it was. This movie does just that. The pranks are a little out there agaisnt the police but it is all in fun. Funny and enjoyable.


    5 out of 5 stars In my collection forever   March 22, 2009
    Steve Black (Garrison, Minnesota USA)
    This is a great movie to add to a collection. It's full of great songs and hot cars. Funny gags and full blown belly laugh moments. If you grew up in this time period, it will bring back memories. If you didn't grow up in this time period, you can get an idea of what it was like. There will always be a place on my shelf for this movie.


    3 out of 5 stars Average movie with some big laughs   February 20, 2009
    Uthred (New Jersey)
    While somewhat of a cult classic, Hollywood Knights is not a great movie. It's basically a more juvenile version of American Graffiti. It tries to shoot for some serious moments with the Tony Danza/Michelle Pfeiffer subplot, but it's Robert Wuhl and his gang, along with some great moments from the bumbling cops, that really make it worth watching. There are some great laughs, and a few classic moments (the Lawrence of Arabia song for one) that are among the great quotable film comedy moments. The DVD is fine quality; nothing spectacular, but looks better than I ever remember this movie looking on cable.

    This movie is full of laughter, and brings back memories of my youth and some of the pranks that was actually done.

    We've seen the movie years ago and friends of my husband asked if we had it in DVD (my husband is the movie man at work). So I checked with you and found it right away.
