Teen Wolf (1985) could have been a good movie if they stuck with the horror themes instead of trying to make an unfunny pre-teen comedy. When I was a kid, I used to love those old Universal horror films. I had just watched the Wolf Man and I read somewhere that a movie called Teen Wolf was coming out. I thought it was going to be a sad story about some stupid kid who's cursed with lycanthorpy. Boy was I wrong. What a waste of time.
A vertically challenged "high school basketball star" (Michael J. Fox) is bored with his mundane life. He has a girlfriend (who's he known since grade school) an obnoxious friend and an after school job at his father's hardware store. Every day, he's been noticing some changes on his person. He ignores them until he finds out about an old family trait that was passed down from father to son. Boy, is life different from then on.
A bad movie. A great concept but horrible execution. I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this tripe. I hated this movie as a kid and I still hate it to this very day!
Not recommended.

When Michael J. transforms into the "teen wolf" clad in his basket ball uniform, he looks like a cross between Chewbacca and the legendary Bill Walton (Portland Trailblazers era).
