Rewatchables Reference

• The entire final basketball game – Scott arrives late, Chubby hits the big three, 'Win in the End' montage, winning free throws (Bill's pick).
• Teen Wolf's first game transformation – turns into wolf, dunks full court, crowd immediately accepts it, school newspaper headline 'Can he make it two in a row?'
• Scott turns into the wolf at home – the door opens and his dad is also a werewolf.
• Coach Finstock's locker room speech – 'There are three rules that I live by' and 'Everything else is cream cheese'.
• Scott buys a keg – eyes turn red at the liquor store, Stiles goes van surfing afterward.
• The high school party scene – Stiles as MC, games, closet hookups, 15 kegs.

• Coach Finstock – his quotes, his gum-chewing, all his scenes.
• Stiles – the character, the t-shirts, the performance.
• The 80s sports montage ('Win in the End' by Mark Safan) – Mount Rushmore of cheesiest 80s sports movie montages.
• The closing credits pants-down extra.

• Michael J. Fox's basketball ability – the jump-shot free throw, head-down dribbling, rampant traveling.
• No black people in the movie – the only Black person appears for 6 seconds to breakdance with the wolf.
• The wolf special effects – pretty rough for 1985.
• The soundtrack – no recognizable artists (budget issue).
• The 'Win in the End' lyrics – incredibly dark/suicidal lyrics played over a basketball montage.
• Boof's back getting clawed by wolf-Scott at the party.
• The Mr. Howard and Boof driveway basketball scene – weirdest scene in the movie.

• Mr. Lolley the drama teacher – 'Wolf out, wolf up, wolf fit, whatever you do, pronto amigo' (winner).
• Stiles – 'dials it up a couple times' but it's the character.
• Pamela on stage during the school play.

• The liquor store guy – went on to play Professor Nicholson on Beverly Hills 90210 (Bill's pick).
• Mark Holton (Chubby) – also Francis Buxton in Pee-wee's Big Adventure and 'Hey, it's Enrico Pallazzo!' in Naked Gun.
• Doug Savant – later Melrose Place and Desperate Housewives.
• Court McKeown (#33) – also in 'Can't Buy Me Love'.

• Mr. Lolley the theater teacher – only two or three scenes, fully commits, clearly having a relationship with Pamela (winner).
• Coach Finstock – one of the greatest characters in any sports movie, but too much screen time to qualify.

• Boof: Lori Loughlin or Elizabeth Shue (darken her hair to separate from Karate Kid).
• Scott Howard: Eric Stoltz – poetic justice since he lost the Marty McFly role; would be interesting to see if Fox loses this role because he can't do a layup.

• Fox's basketball body double was Jeff Glosser, a college basketball player.
• Fox was in wolf makeup for 12 hours a day during the compressed 21-day shoot.
• Jerry Levine (Stiles) says he gets recognized daily – 'everybody knows who Stiles is'.
• Mark Arnold convinced Santa Barbara producers to kill off his character so he could promote 'Teen Wolf'.
• A Playboy Playmate (Linda Weismeier, July 1982) was in the party scene.
• Stiles' five t-shirts: 'Life sucks then you die,' 'Obnoxious,' 'What are you looking at, Dicknose,' 'Drunken State Florida,' and 'Wolf'.

• Michael J. Fox: No – 'Back to the Future', though the combo of both in 1985 was huge.
• Every other person in the movie: Yes – 'Teen Wolf' was their apex.
• Van surfing: Yes – Apex Mountain for van surfing as a concept.
• Werewolves: Case made but Twilight (Team Jacob) may have been bigger.

• Mick was allowed to stand under the basket during the final free throws – never happens in organized basketball.
• The wolf appears to be 6'2"-6'3" but speaking scenes show 5'4" Michael J. Fox – never figured out the height difference.
• Zero police presence despite van surfing, a bowling ball thrown across an alley, an attempted armed robbery, and a party with 12 kegs.
• The school/town should have been deluged with reporters – a werewolf basketball player would be national news.
• The dog whistle bothers Scott but not his dad who is also a werewolf.

• What NBA star's game most resembles Teen Wolf's? Baron Davis or Russell Westbrook – they agree on Westbrook.
• Was the wolf transformation in the first game the #1 sports movie event ever?
• Where does the hair go when werewolves transform back to human?
• What Ivy League school would the wolf attend? Bill jokes Penn.

• Would be pretty interesting as a 2020 Netflix series – the media descending on the small town, recruiting storylines.
• The final game was only the regional final – what happens next round? That's the series.
• Could do a Cobra Kai-style continuation: Michael J. Fox as the absentee dad, the werewolf gene skips a generation.

Stiles (Jerry Levine) – 'When you think of 'Teen Wolf', you think of Stiles. Everybody knows Stiles. Everybody remembers the t-shirts'.
