This irreverent and outrageously funny look at the world of professional ice hockey has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a third-rate, minor league hockey team. To build up attendance at their games, management signs up three odd-looking players whose job it is to literally attack and demolish opposition - to the delight and cheers of a steadily increasing throng of fans. 'Slap Shot's' hockey sequences, reminiscent of the football games in 'M*A*S*H' and 'The Longest Yard', offer a freewheeling mixture of slapstick humor and grisly physical violence.
Synopsis: Rowdy comedy/drama about a small-town hockey team boosting popularity through outrageous antics. Stars the legendary Paul Newman.
