The Lords of Flatbush

Before Rocky was a knock-out, before The Fonz was TVs Leader of the Pack, two unknown actors named Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler starred in their first major screen roles. Soon they would rule the box office and the airwaves, but before they were kings, they were The Lords of Flatbush.

Clad in blue jeans, black leather jackets and bad attitudes, Stanley, Butchey, Chico (Perry King) and Wimpy (Paul Mace) are a 1950s Brooklyn gang of four cool, young rebels. Despite their tough appearance, these boys just want to have fun - but reality rears its ugly head when Stanleys steady informs him, that they have to get married and blue-collar Chico falls for a beautiful blonde from the right side of the tracks.

A high-octane cruise down memory lane, The Lords of Flatbush is - immensely appealing, often hilarious, surprisingly touching and superbly acted.
