Goon - Twilla - 06-03-2012
A fun, goofy and violent hockey movie. What more could you ask for?

Looks funny.
I was thinking it was gonna be some kind of a slapshot rip off, but it looks good.
RE: Goon - Twitchin Kitten - 06-03-2012
We own Slapshot. It's our favorite movie and we still pull it out and watch it when there is nothing on TV.
That Goon is now on the top of our Netflix list. Where did you catch it, Twilla? It's got a very long wait listed on there.
RE: Goon - Twilla - 06-03-2012
I rented it at amazon instant.

We watched this last night. I kind of felt bad for the guy. They hire a borderline retard to be a goon. The beating he took at the end, Jesus Christ! I felt every blow myself watching that. I have mixed feelings. This is the only hockey movie that didn't have us cheering for the underdog in one way or another at any point in the movie. Call me jaded, but it was no Slapshot or Mystery Alaska.

Yeah, that ending was a little rough, especially his ankle that apparently collapsed all on its own. But he was such a sweet and kind soul that the dichotomy of being an enforcer amused me.
RE: Goon - Twitchin Kitten - 06-10-2012
That ankle that collapsed was the same one that was stepped on by the blade of the skate when he went down in the net taking a puck to the teeth. I figured it was cracked or something already and he was too dim to notice and it finally gave out then.
I'm glad he knocked that old guy out though. He was a douche bag.
Yeah, he was sweet and kind, that's what made me feel bad for him. All I saw was this third rate league using a retard to suit their own needs.

Can you believe that was the same guy that played Stifler in the American Pie movies? He looked a lot different.
RE: Goon - Twitchin Kitten - 06-10-2012
Yeah, we caught that too.
The old "goon" - I forget his name in the movie - but he was the sleaze-ball who always had concert tix in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. I forget his characters name too.
RE: Goon - Twilla - 06-10-2012
The only character's name I remember from that one is Jeff "that was my head!" Spicoli.
