TEEN WOLF TEEN WOLF TOOTeen Wolf is a flip-flop of the horrorific I Was a Teenage Werewolf story: this time, lycanthropy makes the afflicted high-schooler a big man on campus. An otherwise routine teen comedy, this one works because of the customary bounce of Michael J. Fox, in one of his first leading roles (it was shot before Back to the Future but released in that blockbuster’s wake, and cashed in nicely). Although his werewolf makeup makes him look more like Bigfoot than Lon Chaney, Jr., Fox manages to convey his peppy personality even under all that hair. Teen Wolf Too, however, is not even bearable. Here Fox is replaced by Jason Bateman, who finds that his wolfish inclination helps him become the big dog on the college boxing team. The sole bright spot is veteran actor Paul Sand as the boxing coach. The rest is howlingly unfunny. - -Robert Horton

This DVD is a disgrace to the epic masterpiece that is “Teen Wolf.” I grew up watching this movie every other day on a scratchy old VHS we taped off of network TV. My brothers and I memorized nearly every line. It’s humorous, eccentric, sentimental; a freakin’ great movie.”Teen Wolf Too,” on the other hand, should never have existed. It is shameful that instead of loading this disc with extras from the original movie (it would have been great to see some of those scenes shot for TV, or even some commentary and outtakes), they put the … retread sequel on here, whose first and greatest sin is that it is without Michael J. Fox.I love the original “Teen Wolf” and the DVD is worth buying just to get a good version of it, but it deserved better treatment. Much, much better. Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves.

Trust me, you’ll want to skip Teen Wolf Too. Michael isn’t in it, and it’s one of the worst films ever made. Anyway, in “Teen Wolf”, Michael J. Fox plays Scott Howard, a loser high schooler who plays on a basketball team that never wins, has a crush on the cutest girl in school, Pamela Wells (she ignores him like the plague), who by the way is dating the most popular hunk in school Mick McAllister, and always has trouble getting beer. So, one night, when he’s at a party with his best friends Boof and Styles, something odd happens to Scott. As if he didn’t have enough problems…guess what? He’s turning into a werewolf! Now Scott has to make sure he can keep his secret! He makes sure to avoid classmates and friends, as well as vice principal Rusty Thorne (who has a grudge against Scott’s father, Harold Howard)! However, during a game, Scott turns into the werewolf, and his secret is out. Now, he can play basketball like never before, and gain popularity! While he helps his team win the games, he finally has luck with Pamela, who has taken a new interest in him. It’s now up to Scott to choose friends before fame. An 80′s classic.

Although I agree with all the reviews covering this DVD that Teen Wolf (the original) was better, I believe people should ease up on the harsh reviews of Teen Wolf Too.. although it’s quite the similiar plot line, and its NOT MJF, Jason Bateman shines in his own right in this movie… doesn’t anybody watch the hilarious Arrested Developement? It’s the same wolf as from all those years ago! Plus, I like both actors who play Styles equally, and the dance scene with “Do You Love Me?” gives the movie that extra special 80′s flare! I’m actually impressed that both movies are on one DVD set, I wanted both!!
Overall- A needed add to you’re 80′s movies collection, for the fans!

this movie rules, it’s just a typical 80′s movie about school, you have the wacky antics with the principle always trying to expel the main character, its the same as any other movie of this time but with a wolf. the wackiness is what makes it a good movie, car surfing parts are some of the best. All you just need is the pizza, beer, and some good friends to watch this movie and your set. Oh by the way teen wolf too is horrible

Well, sir, the time has come and now I’m waiting for the apocalypse. Yes, it’s true: Teen Wolf is out on DVD. Beware the juggernaut.
While I’ve nothing positive to say about TWT (Teen Wolf Too), the original is simply breathtaking. MJF (Michael J. Fox) gives a measured, taut performance as the title character. Oh, what a dream!
But the supporting cast really carries the picture. The flair of Styles sparkles, the Spanish of Coach makes us nod in agreement, the Locke-esque pompousness of Mick makes us grit our teeth, the girth of Chubs reminds of Phi-Phi girls, and even that old coger the principal causes us to clench our fist and want to give him the business.
How does MJF (Michael J. Fox) overcome it all? By becoming a sort of beast-hound, he is able to look into the soul of the universe, and eventually, into the soul of the treacherous Pamela Wells. Stick with Booth, MJF!
