1985 - Michael J Fox's year?
The number one show on US TV, the number one movie at the box office. Fox owned the summer of '85 so when he ended that summer with Teen Wolf, it was gonna make money. Nostalgia was high on this film, Marty McFly as a wolf at college, it was fun when I saw it years ago. Time has not been kind though but if you remember it from childhood it will always have a place.
The urban surfing is still memorable, the basketball coach is hilarious and Michael is as easy to like as ever but the story is too simple and, unfortunately, doesn't hold up.
One interesting bit of trivia to note:
Scott Howard's (Michael J. Fox) house was located on the same block as 1955 George McFly's and 1955 Lorraine Baines's houses from Back to the Future (1985). The Howard house in Teen Wolf is the same house as Marty's mother's house (the Baines house) in 1955 BttF.
Did not know that!
