A cult classic, acclaimed as one of the top ten sport movies ever, this irreverent and outrageously funny look into the world of professional ice hockey has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a third-rate, minor league hockey team.

To build up attendance at their games, management signs up three odd-looking players whose job it is to literally attack and demolish opposition - to the delight and cheers of a steadily increasing throng of fans.

Slap Shot's hockey sequwnces, reminiscent of the football game in MASH, The Longest Yard and the gruesome Rollerball offer a freewheeling mixture of slapstick humour and grisly physical violence.
