Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
A skilled young hockey prospect hoping to attract the attention of professional scouts is pressured to show that he can fight if challenged during his stay in a Canadian minor hockey town. His on-ice activities are complicated by his relationship with the coach's daughter.

Amazon.com:
Handsome young men whack each other in the face with sticks and learn about life in this enjoyably silly hockey movie. Rob Lowe stars as Dean Youngblood, an American rookie who's been given a shot on a Canadian Junior League hockey team. Sure, he can skate, but can he take a punch? This coming-of-age story is about learning the beauty of vicious hockey fights. No, really. Containing both young-bucks-in-the-locker-room shots and plenty of hockey violence, Youngblood is a surprisingly entertaining cupcake of a movie--there's not much nourishment, but it sure tastes good. Watch for Patrick Swayze as the team's leader and Keanu Reeves in his very first film role as the French-Canadian goalie. The DVD's most entertaining feature is the option of watching Youngblood dubbed into French--not to be missed. --Ali Davis

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - The most dubious message since "Grease"!
Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe) may be the fastest skater on the ice, but when he is awarded a place on a junior-league ice-hockey team, he soon comes to realize that sucess at hockey isn't just about skill, it's also about being able to beat the c**p out of the opposition.

I do not like playing sports, I do not like watching sports and generally, I do not like watching movies about sports. However, "Youngblood" is one of my favourite movies of all time. I saw this movie because I am a huge fan of Rob Lowe and I surprised myself by actually enjoying it. I'm not sure if this film is meant to be a comedy or not, but I found this film to be absolutely hilarious in a so-bad-it's-funny kind of way, in particular all the scenes on the ice. This is not so much a film about people playing hockey, but a film about grown men beating each other up. The ultimate message of the film, that this violence is in some ways a good thing, is the most dubious I have come across since that of "Grease", which only serves to make it all the more entertaining.




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - great depiction
The only hockey movie people know of are the two extremes of the humorous side in Slap Shot and the serious side in Miracle. Youngblood depicts the truth of a young mans sacrifices and decisions for minor league hockey. Great movie, recommend it for any sports fan.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - "Lets Go Pretty Boy" ~ Coming Of Age On And Off The Ice
`Youngblood' is a slickly produced sports (hockey), coming of age film from '86 with a lot of good looking young men to (Rob Lowe, Patrick Swazee and Keanu Reeves) keep the girls watching, fast moving game sequences and the usual on the ice fights one has come to expect and look forward to in a hockey game. The storyline is predictable but enjoyable, the pounding, energetic `80's soundtrack is excellent and the cast likeable. Not a bad way to while away an evening with a couple of buddies or a girlfriend.

My Rated by buyers -3 1/2 Stars-.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Maybe you gotta be a hockey fan.....
I am a hockey fan and I enjoyed this flick. Completely believable? No, but no worse than any other sport film. Lots of good action (the violence depicted was actually not that far off from the way hockey was in the late 70s and early 80s). Cynthia Gibbs was sexy and Lowe and Swayze looked good on skates.

I am a bit biased because Eric "Elbows" Nesterenko played Lowe's father. Nesterenko was my hero when he played for the Black Hawks in the 60s. He was one of the toughest, meanest, most hated players in the NHL. Seldom scored a goal, but the other team almost never scored when he was on the ice. I had to laugh when he breaks down and gives Lowe tips on fighting, because he really was an expert.
