Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Omega Man on April 02, 2000, 06:28:54 PM How could this be a bad movie? If anything,the s**tty sequel should be reviewed. Too bad Landis didn't get a chance to direct the sequel to this classic. The studios wanted a retread of the first one and Landis' script was too ambitious for them.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Sir Sword@AOL.com on April 03, 2000, 12:20:14 AM Many corporate films try to re-tread the path that many classic films create. Nosferatu started the Horror movie genre. Now, there are only Ebert knows how many vampire movies there are. Same goes for werewolf movies. This movie is in the House of Horrors website(It's pretty good!), so I'm not sure it belongs here. There are some B-movie qualities, but all in all, it's not a TRUE b-movie.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Demonicuss on April 03, 2000, 09:18:16 AM Truly a classic film. The s**tter of a sequel only goes to show that movie studios today have no clue how to make a good film.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Squishy on April 07, 2000, 12:43:50 AM Watch for Rik Mayall of "The Young Ones" in the pub. Wow, did he get paid for that? (Please tell me you remember "The Young Ones"...)
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Omega Man on April 08, 2000, 01:00:37 AM Yeah, I remember The Young Ones. It's been a long time, since I've seen that show!
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Tony on July 18, 2000, 03:43:54 AM I don't know how this horror gem could be considered a bad movie! Oh well, we all have our likes and dislikes I guess. But as for me, I think this is definitely one of the best werewolf movies ever made, next to The Howling and the original classic, The Wolfman. Rick Baker's special make-up effects are simply superb and way ahead of thier time! Even tho its been done a million times, he was the first to show somebody transforming into a werewolf. Baker is another one of those make-up masters, along with Tom Savini and Rob Bottin, who helped create this whole genre and terrified millions in the process! This movie just pays homage to him and all the werewolf freaks around the world and is a nice addition to any horror fans collection.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Dirk Diggler on July 30, 2000, 06:50:13 AM Uncharacteristically sexy Brit nurse-Have you ever been to a British hospital?It's worth getting sick with some of those nurses I've seen!Anyway,it's a great film-definitely head to head with the Howling.I always thought that werewolves were underused in movies.If the Mummy can get another shot,who knows?
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Artemis on August 12, 2000, 08:09:53 PM American Werewolf in London is far from a bad movie. If anything, along with the Howling, it redefined a dying genre of successful horror films in the early 80's. The atmosphere of American Werewolf is the best of any horror movie I've yet seen. You must have been thinking of an American Werewolf in Paris when you decided to add this terrific movie to this s**tty site!!!!!
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: dustin(horror fan) on September 16, 2000, 01:43:10 PM Im kinda different when it comes to rating good and bad horror movies,and im ussually the oppisite of what people love like dawn of the dead,and so on classics but youll probably think im a big screwed in the head by a nail sucker but i didnt see much what made this movie terrorific!sure the begining with the howls and dreams were kinda creepy and the special effects kicked dawn of the deads ass!but i just think naked people and wierd endings make movies wacked out but the fully transformed werewolf looked cool.ill just stick to scary movies and awesome adventure,action,suspense, ETC.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Stupid Jacob on November 09, 2000, 04:12:30 PM This movie kick ass 3 ways to sunday. The transformation scence is amazing.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Lena on January 06, 2001, 02:44:35 PM Does anybody know where the beginning scenes were filmed? because I,ve had different places told to me. One person says it was filmed near London as was the rest of the film and someone else told me the moor scenes were filmed on the North Yorkshire moors. I would love to visit the moorland.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Andrew on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM The Internet Movie database has a section for "Filming Locations." The <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/Locations?0082010">entry for this movie</A> has a few listed that might have been used. I would guess "Windsor Great Park," but we would need to hear from someone on the crew to be certain.
Andrew Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Georgiann on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM This really isn't a bad movie at all, but a classic of the werewolf genre. It's got fine transformations and special-effects make-up, an interesting plot combining humor/tragedy/horror, great atmosphere (especially in the creepy opening scenes), and neat moon-themed oldies on the soundtrack.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Harry on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM Great Movie..Black Commedy...Camp....
Old Plot well done...introduces Jenney A...Miss UK.... Fantastic Music. Moon Theme..Van Morrisons Moon Dance, Blue Moon (2 vesions), Bad Moon Rising...etc. Worth Owning in your Library.. Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Fortey on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM Er...why wouldn't London have it's own SWAT team? It's an enormous city. Also, why is this a B movie again?
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Rooster on June 02, 2001, 03:43:32 PM Not a bad film - the transformation scenes are good for the time this film was made.....
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Miles on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM That was the whole of the English Police Force at the end of the film! No-Way does London have more then 5 Cops in the whole City. Great film! I wouldn't call the Nurse Sexy but WOWSA! Real British Nurses! :-) from a true brit! Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Patrick Reinhardt on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM Jack's last name is "Goodman", not "Preston"
Just FYI :) Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Dano on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM Lesson #1 is true. Walk into any British pub after 6:30 or 7:00 pm at the latest and try to order food. They'll look at you like you're f**king crazy.
I saw this movie from the back seat of my parents' car at a drive in when I was maybe 10 years old. Scared the yellow p**s out of me, but I remember laughing my ass off too. Dare I say the best comedy-horror film ever? Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Dano on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM One other thing: How could London having its own SWAT team be a lesson learned here? Lessons learned should point out absurd "realism" and "common sense" mistakes in a movie. Has the reviewer never heard of the Irish Republican Army? OF COURSE London has SWAT teams!
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Mightydein on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM That was actually pretty entertaing movie.
Lots of gore but the only flaw to it is the male nudity so i agree with most of the review on this readers reviews. Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Azezel on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM London does not have its own SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team. The metropolitan police operat a group known as SO19 who could be called the equivalent of a SWAT cell.
Plus the flying sqad (no they dont actualy fly, its just a name) also carry out some firearms operations. Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Dano on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM OK, so London doesn't actually CALL its armed emergency police unit "SWAT" -- my point was that the idea of London having an armed police unit wasn't even remotely strange, silly, or imagined by the filmmaker and didn't make much sense in lessons learned.
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Kyle on September 23, 2006, 08:18:38 AM The movie is great..if i had it..if any1 can send it to me by mail..i would be most grateful..if not..then i need some1 to tell me where i can see the full tf scene..and the unused footage stuff..thx..=)
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: John Dashwood on September 02, 2006, 01:03:35 PM There are 19 Vampire movies in the world. Not that many at all. 17 werewolf movies. Just FYI! ;)
Title: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Blake Troupe on June 20, 2006, 07:06:03 PM I love this movie so much, I am a huge fan of werewolf movies. I also had learned history about werewolves and their mythology!
Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: hiddyman on May 17, 2009, 12:35:48 PM umm...last time I checked, American Werewolf in London was NOT a B movie. To be so bold as to post a B-review on it alongside movies like Zaat and Troll is just insulting. :hot:
Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Psycho Circus on May 17, 2009, 01:11:33 PM umm...last time I checked, American Werewolf in London was NOT a B movie. To be so bold as to post a B-review on it alongside movies like Zaat and Troll is just insulting. :hot: It's just a reader review. Just one persons opinion. :lookingup: Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Goat Boy on July 21, 2010, 02:31:03 AM Uncharacteristically sexy? You don't find British chicks hot?
Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: BoyScoutKevin on July 29, 2010, 06:39:17 PM Uncharacteristically sexy? You don't find British chicks hot? Well, it depends upon what they're wearing. If they're wearing tiny black undies with thigh high black leather boots with high heels and smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder, I do. But, we were talking about "An American Werewolf in London." What can be made can be remade. "An American Werewolf in London" is being remade for release to theaters in 2011. And not only is "An American Werewolf in London" being remade, but so is "An American Werewolf in Paris," which is also scheduled for release in 2011. Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Dogsledder on August 16, 2012, 10:28:23 PM Loved this movie, and Australian TV still plays The Young Ones everynow and then. I even loved the dialogue in the Porno he went to see
Man walks in "You b***h, you promised you'd never do this again!" Man in bed "I promised you no such thing!" Man "Not you ya twit, her." Woman "I've never seen you before in my life!" Man "Oh," looks again "Sorry" Leaves. Did anyone else know that the warewolf was modeled on the artists keeshond? Have another look. :cheers: Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: tracy on August 20, 2012, 01:39:04 PM Excellent film....and now my daughter likes it,too. :wink:
Title: Re: An American Werewolf in London Post by: Trevor on February 19, 2014, 08:09:35 AM OK: time to own up. I have never seen this, ever and I have no idea why.
