Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Goldie Hawn plays a physical education teacher who gets a chance to coach an inner-city high school football team. If that sounds contrived, it is, but in the hands of director Michael Ritchie (Smile), the jokes all fire, and there's plenty of comedy teased out in details. (The cheerleading squad has some funny moments just belting out their morale-boosting chants.) The supporting cast has a couple of significant up-and-comers: Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. --Tom Keogh
Description
As the daughter of a legendary grid iron star, a young woman's greatest desire is to coach a team of her own. But when the chauvinistic powers-that-be assign her to an inner-city ghetto school, the spirited female has her work cut out for her.

Description

On March 19, 1966, Texas Western College, now known as the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), put an all-black starting five on the floor for the first time in an NCAA basketball championship. That night the Texas Western Miners, led by coach Don Haskins with star players David Lattin and Bobby Joe Hill, defeated coach Adolph Rupp's #1 ranked all-white Kentucky Wildcats, 72-65. Lattin set the tone early with a thunderous dunk, highlighting the strength of the Miners, while Hill's back to back steals showed their quickness. Other key players for the Miners included Harry Flournoy, Willie Cager, Willie Worsley and Nevil Shed. The Kentucky Wildcats featured Pat Riley, Louis Dampier and Larry Conley.

Great Story.......2007-05-26

This is one of the greatest humanistic stories of all times. It is the very beginning of what college sports represent today and I am thankfull for the inovative thinking of Coach Haskins and the young men of Texas Western University (University of Texas El Paso), if it wasn't for them, I would have never received a basketball scholarship and earned a degree.

FINALLY!!!.......2007-04-18

For YEARS I have been pleading with the NCAA, the university (UTEP), ESPN, and anyone else who would listen that this game, perhaps the most important and culturally significant contest ever played, should be remastered and released on DVD. At last, my wish has been granted. I've had an old VHS copy of this game that was made from the original master reel for a few years, but the picture quality is very poor and there's no audio.

While the picture quality is still not 100%, this digitally remastered version of the game is as good as could possibly be expected (since the master reel is over 40 years old). Another great feature is that the game finally has audio. They managed to find the original radio broadcast of the game and matched it to the video, so the play-calling is seamless and exact. Add to that the bonus features, which include player interviews, the game newsreel, and the NCAA highlight video aired after the game, and it truly is a piece of history not to be missed.

When "Glory Road" was released on DVD last year, one of my biggest complaints was that they didn't even attempt to include a bonus disc of the actual game. Now that this DVD has been produced, fans of UTEP basketball and basketball fans in general can see for themselves the game that changed collegiate sports forever.

It's been long overdue... but well worth the wait.

intresting double feature.......2005-09-07

While I bought this originally for the "Swedish" side I found myself drawn to both movies. I was curious and ultimatly, quite satisfied with how the writers would "modernize" such a plot line. Highly adequete in using shadow in the frame for a more dramatic presentation in what could most easily be described as a silly auction. Chelsea Mundae shines in her melodramatisism of a Madame au Noir. J.P. Fedele was fantastic as a classical(though modernized) "greaser". These movies are more along the lines of quasi-nilhist+erotica moreso than straight forward erotica. Watch, but watch out there is a story too.

One on my favorite Joe Sarno films!.......2005-06-05

Aunt Marghareta (Diana Dors) runs an exotic brothel in Copenhagen that caters to customers of prurient tastes. Each night, "Marghareta's Maison" puts on a titillating show highlighting her menagerie of exquisite female beauties who are then offered up to the highest bidders for a night of unforgettable pleasures. Marghareta's sexy young nieces - sisters Susanna and Karin - are the most desired of her "performers." Made up in body paint as a pair of Swedish tigeresses, every man or woman pays handsomely to spend an unforgettable evening with them. But Susanna and Karin begin tiring of Marghareta's perverse clientele and their passionless sexual encounters. They long to experience true love and wonder if girls like them can ever find it. Keeping her real identity and profession a secret, Susanna meets Peter - a young Swedish test pilot who quickly falls for her. Will they find happiness together, or will Peter discover the shocking truth about Susanna...and the Swedish Wildcats?

Digitally re-mastered from the original film elements, Swedish Wildcats (16x9 Wide Screen) is Sarno at his most shocking and provocative. This long-awaited favorite is paired with the sexy 2004 remake, New York Wildcats, specially produced for this Double Feature release and starring popular `B' movie sisters Misty and Chelsea Mundae.

The defending champion Georgetown Hoyas were a likely team to make it to the championship game in 1985. They were the No.1 team in the country and had Co-Player of the Year Patrick Ewing at center. Villanova, on the other hand, wasn't even ranked and had lost to the Hoyas both times the two teams met in the Big East play. Nevertheless, the underdog Wildcats shot 78.6 percent (22 for 28) and won, 66-64.

Good Classic Movie.......2006-09-01

I forgot how funny this movie was. You don't stop laughing till the end of the movie. Even the credits are funny to watch.

Wildcats.......2006-08-30

Wildcats is an interesting movie although not very believeable. It was intertaining enough, I always enjoy Goldie Hawn in her movies.

Nipsey Russell??? RRRRIIIGHTT!!!! If it is Nipsey way cool.......2005-05-05

This is your typical bad music 80's film, but what a joy to watch. Everyone in it is awesome and funny. A great supporting cast including, Nipsey Russell, Woody harrelson, yum! Wesley Snipes & a hardly used Jan Hooks.

I must say though that my favorite part of the whole film is the ending credits with a Wildcats version of LL Cool J's Football song. Hilarious to the last huughhuhuhuhgh!

One of the Best of its Genre!.......2005-03-03

I first saw this when I was a child. I'm 27 now and just bought the DVD. For years I've had the film on a crummy video cassette but now I can enjoy it fully. This is like fine wine. It only gets better with age.

Molly McGrath, a school coach is hooked into going to Central High, a school full of underachieving, smart mouth criminals and losers to teach Central's failing football team. Unfortunately their best quarter back LeVander has turned street criminal so the principal ( Nipsie Russell ) hopes McGrath is the new blood needed to win some games. Of course Molly is confronted by the team's hostility at first but when they notice she has a real talent for football and grew up on the sport, they start to respect her. Molly never backs down proving once again that anything a man can do a woman can do better. The story moves smoothly except for the boring plot line dealing with Molly's eldest daughter, constantly acting out to get attention. Also the big plot hole is how Molly managed to turn the Central Wildcats into the Dallas Cowboys without explanation. One minute they're the worst team in the district, the next thing we know they're winning the championship! Go figure. Since this is a comedy overlooking plot holes won't slow up the fun. The highlights are Trumaine ( Wesley Snipes ) who is so disgustingly funny you'll be shocked at some of the things he says. Cerullo's uh...talent ( if you call flatulence a talent ). Flatulence in films wasn't over done in 86' when this is made so it was funny then. It may not be funny to people ( including myself ) who are sick of flatulance being relied on for films of today. And my number one favorite...Finch! The four-hundred pound genius with an attitude! All the actors have chemistry with each other and keep the ball rolling. James Keach is funny as Molly's ex-husband who's constantly sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.

Wildcats has all the components of a great film: cute jocks, humor, a witty actress and all around good clean 80's fun. What amazes me about this is that it doesn't seem that dated even though its nineteen years old. Some 80's films lose their spark but Wildcats is funnier than ever. I never tire of the football sequences or the players' funny catch lines such as: " If they're the cougars, how come they got a goat? " " What are we b------- about? We got a dog dressed like a cat."

Wildcats is Goldie's best movie in my opinion. I liked Overboard but with this Goldie really came into her own. There are a lot of emerging actors from this film such as Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and not to mention the cute cameo from LL. Cool J. Also the man who plays Cerullo is a major hottie! And who can forget the cute little rap song the team does at the end? If you're into light humor or find yourself at home with nothing to do, Wildcats is the perfect movie to just throw in the DVD player and relax. There's no thinking required. The only thing you must have is a sense of humor and the need for two hours of fun-loving entertainment for the entire family ( despite a couple curse words ). Enjoy. And if you haven't seen it, BUY IT!

If you enjoy Wildcats you'll love other funny films of this genre:

Sunset Park
Hardball
The Bad News Bears
A League of their Own

All of these films are good but Wildcats is in a place all its own.

Essential 80s fare.......2003-07-08

In the age of "Porky's", "Revenge Of The Nerds", "Police Academy" (what were we thinking???), and "Airplane" came this underrated comedy gem.

You don't have to like Goldie Hawn, but the supporting cast makes it work--Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, Nipsey Russell, and James Keach--and the jokes still work a couple decades later. Dig LL Cool J's theme song (pre-dating his work on yet another football film--"Any Given Sunday), and let your memory work overtime.

Watch Jack Givens score 41 points in a dazzling display that still stands as one of the great performances of all time! There are no extras on the disk, and the video transfer betrays the age of the source material, but this is a great disk, a great game, and a great basketball team! You won't be disappointed!
