Revealing mistakes: In the showers after the game when the wolf passes behind the lockers, as soon he gets into the shower you can see his bare shoulder and an obvious wolf mask instead of an elaborated makeup.See more »
Quotes:
Harold Howard:[upon seeing each other as werewolves] An explanation is probably long overdue.
Scott Howard:An explanation? Jesus Christ, dad! An explanation? Look at me! Look at you.
Harold Howard:It's not as bad as it looks.
Scott Howard:Wait a minute, wait a minute, dad. You mean you knew about this? You knew about this and you didn't tell me?

Scott Howard:Well, Dad it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face. What the hell am I gonna do?

Corny 80's gold, 28 January 2004
Author: (stillsoilent@aol.com) from Northridge, California

There are a lot of people who are going on about how much Teen Wolf sucks. I disagree because Teen Wolf has a special kind of suck going for it. Not so bad it's good but corny as hell and better for it. I've been watching this movie since it came out and I love it. How can you not love Teen Wolf? Michael J. Fox turns into a werewolf and becomes a popular star of his high school basketball team. There is even a dance at his prom that is wolf related. The whole school turns wolf crazy but Fox learns the right lesson in the end. How can you not love this corny crap. I'll be the first to admit that this isn't a good movie and is incredibly stupid, but honest to goodness crapfests don't have Stiles or a breakdancing wolf. Take that American Werewolf in London. Recently Teen Wolf has been blessed with DVD release along with it's sequel, Teen Wolf Too, on one disc. 80's fans rejoice!

Bottom Line: It isn't worthy of even trying to call itself good, but it's a classic, doesn't take itself seriously, and occupies a honored place on my shelf.
