Celluloid Psychosis: Episode 26 - The Hollywood Knights (1980)

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Celluloid Psychosis, TJ Bowser and Paul Ashford take a look at The Hollywood Knights (1980), a raunchy teen comedy set in 1965 Los Angeles. The movie follows a gang of prank-pulling, car-obsessed teens on the last night at their local hangout, Tubby’s Drive-In. While it boasts an early appearance from Michelle Pfeiffer and features Tony Danza and Robert Wuhl, the film leans heavily on crude humor and slapstick gags. TJ and Paul discuss how The Hollywood Knights delivers plenty of juvenile antics but often feels like a lesser knockoff of other, more successful teen comedies from the era, lacking the heart and sharpness of its contemporaries like American Graffiti. Despite its flaws, the film has developed a niche cult following, but the guys debate whether it truly stands the test of time.
