While flicking through the channels the other night Teen Wolf was playing on fuse.

This is a short clip but it represents the awesome badness of the movie.

Michael J. Fox was the Teen Wolf and back when it came out, I must say I enjoyed it in 1985 but today…it seems so bad. It’s so dated and cheesy. Time has a funny way of doing that.

Here is a quote from IMDB comments which I found interesting/funny:

Teen Wolf is not, as some might think, a one-dimensional 80s teen romp. It is, as Mathew Broderick was quoted as saying, the Citizen Kane of 80s cinema: slick production values, a killer score and a cast…well a cast to die for some might say. MJ Fox returns to form as said Wolf and uses his hirsute powers to charm the girls and help his B-Ball team to the final of the State championships,and what a performance by Fox. At the time it was rumored that Sir Laurence Olivier had stormed out of a screening of the film in California shaking his head and damming Fox for such a realistic performance of lycanthropic transition. And Olivier was no dope. In all Teen Wolf is funny, touching, but most of all informative: a moral tale teaching us that being a wolf can be fun, especially if you like hot chicks and B-Ball, but it also warns of the perils of lunar worship, van-top surfing, and naked beer wrestling.
