I have only just seen this movie recently, one of those greaser movies that reminded me a bit of Ken Whal's the Wanderers. Having a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone and pre-Happy Days Henry Winkler was kind of cool. I guess this movie put these guys on the map. What do you think of this one?

I did like this one. It has been ages since I have seen it. It is kind of funny to go back and watch all of those guys that are like in their 50's and 60's now. They look so young. Perry King really looked young. Stallone definately got better with age before the plastic surgery.

All in all not a bad flick!

This is one of my husbands guilty pleasures. It seems whenever they play it he watches it.

I saw parts of this movie once, on TV.

It came out at a time when nostalgia for the 1950's and early-60's were the "in" thing, started out by American Graffitti.

The movie first came out just before Henry Winkler became a big star in the "Happy Days" TV show. So, after Winkler became a huge star, the movie was re-released in theaters. A few years later, the movie Rocky came out, so the movie was in theaters a third time, to take advantage that Stallone was now famous and that two major stars were in a movie together when they were unknowns. It also had a rising young actor named Perry King in it.

Stallone's character is reminiscent of the Marlon Brando character in the 1954 Oscar-winning movie On The Waterfront; namely, the scene with the pigeons on the rooftop.
