Description

Before Rocky was a knock-out, before "the Fonz" was TV's "Leader of the Pack", two unknown actors named Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler starred in their first major screen roles. Soon they'd rule the box office and the airwaves, but before they were kings, they were THE LORDS OF FLATBUSH! Clad in blue jeans, black leather jackets and bad attitudes, Stanley (Stallone), Butchey (Winkler), Chico (Perry King) and Wimpy (Paul Mace) are a 1950's Brooklyn "gang" of four cool, sexy rebels. Despite their tough appearance, these boys just want to have fun, but reality, a.k.a. adulthood, rears its ugly head when Stanley's steady informs him they have to get married, and blue-coller Chico falls for a beautiful blonde (Susan Blakely) from the right side of the tracks. A high-octane cruise down memory lane, THE LORDS OF FLATBUSH is "immensely appealing, often hilarious, surprisingly touching and superbly acted." (The Hollywood Reporter)

    I thought this movie would be lively, funny, with a good amount of action. I was pretty disappointed. It's pretty slow, concentrating on cliche boy-girl troubles with a couple of the "Lords." You would think there would be an exciting rumble scene between the Lords and a few jocks from school...well, there is one scene that's kind of like that, but not much happens...lame. There's a scene where Stallone's character is, against his will, buying a ring for his bride-to-be, and it drags on FOREVER. It seems that the director really milked some of the scenes to drag out the length of the movie as much as possible. It is fascinating to see Stallone and Winkler in their before they hit it big, but this movie is not something to write home about.
