Amazon.co.uk Review

Handsome young men whack each other in the face with sticks and learn about life in Youngblood, an enjoyably silly hockey movie. Rob Lowe stars as Dean Youngblood, an American rookie who's been given a shot on a Canadian Junior League hockey team. Sure, he can skate, but can he take a punch? This coming-of-age story is about learning the beauty of vicious hockey fights. No, really. Containing both young-bucks-in-the-locker-room shots and plenty of hockey violence, Youngblood is a surprisingly entertaining cupcake of a movie--there's not much nourishment, but it sure tastes good. Watch for Patrick Swayze as the team's leader and Keanu Reeves in his first film role as the French-Canadian goalie. --Ali Davis

Synopsis

Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe), a sensitive young farm boy, leaves behind a humdrum life on his father's farm to fulfill his dream, and that of his blind brother, of becoming a star of the skates and stick in the ice hockey team. As he gets the stuffing kicked out of him in the first games and practices, he learns he will need more than ambition and confidence to prove himself in this cold-hearted arena. He soon falls in love with the daughter of his no-nonsense coach, which lies at odds with the fighting which is a necessity in the sport for him to be noticed by professional hockey scouts. He believes he has what it takes to make it in the no-excuses world of professional ice hockey. YOUNGBLOOD also features a mulleted Patrick Swayze and an early appearance from Keanu Reeves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Youngblood, 1986 starring Rob Lowe as Dean Youngblood, 15 Aug 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Youngblood [VHS] [1986] (VHS Tape)

Having seen this film many years ago I still haven't forgotten a single scene. There are those who don't rate it as a memorable film but as a fan of Ice Hockey, I appreciate the storyline and how the American/Canadian hockey teams opperated at the time the film was released.

Dean Youngblood, a young gifted player, tries out his luck in the Canadian Hockey leagues. Although he is small for a player he finds his speed an asset. As it is quoted in the film, when he is on the try-outs 'Why don't they hit him' 'They can't catch him' being the reply. He soon learns that just being good doesn't cut it. He finds his nemesis in Karl Rakki, an ox of a player who is quite happy to be a 'goon' and throws his weight around to put off the opposing players and get time penalties in favour of his team. When the captain of his team gets badly injured by Rakki Dean soon leaves the team fearing for his own safety and sanity and returns home to being a farm boy, much to his elder brothers disgust. Kelly Youngblood gives Dean a dressing down and calling him a quitter shouting 'With one eye (injury) I begged them to let me play.'
The usual underdog story comes to light when Dean wants Kelly to prepare him for the return to the ice for the play off's. This he does and when he returns he muscles past the coach 'Mad Dog Murray' who was himself once an 'All Star' player to get back in the team to win the play off final and face Rakki in a fairly typical Ice Hockey fight scene. Dean even surprises Murray with his new found confidence and fighting spirit.

Yes, good old Youngblood does the business and along the way gets bedded by 'Miss McGill' his landlady and then moves onto the coaches daughter and has to suffer the indignities of various initiation procedures, one of which causes severe embarrasment.

If you're after the film of the decade, leave well alone. If you're after a fairly realistic Hockey film where you've always wanted to see what lies beneath the glamour and thrills of the sport, this is just up your street. Enjoy.
Rob Lowe, Cynthia Gibb and Keano Reeves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Youngblood, 23 April 2006

By	Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I guess the target market for this DVD release would be the now (late)-30 somethings who fondly remember this film from their various misspend youths. Certainly that was how I picked up the film as this formed a vast amount of my video and film watching time back when I was a teenager.
"Youngblood" tells the story of Dean Youngblood, a talented young ice hockey player who is desperate to leave the impoverished farm he works with his father and older brother. Managing to secure a trail with a well respected Canadian youth team, the Hamilton Mustangs, he impresses the coach, Murray Chadwick, with his speed and skill but not so much with his size and strength. When the rough and ready Racki, a formidable rival trialist kicks Dean all over the ice it looks like Dean may not get the call up he so wants.
Still all's well that ends well and Dean makes the team and gets to meet his new teammates, who strip and shave him and also Miss McGill his boarding landlady who provides a lot more than bed and breakfast. He also meets up with Chadwick's young daughter, Jessie, and whilst both realise that any sort of relationship between the two of them is only going to antagonise Chadwick neither of them can deny the attraction they feel for each other.
The pivotal point of the film comes when the Mustang's captain, Derek Sutton someone with whom Dean has built up a firm friendship is critically injured by Racki who by now has been recruited by the Mustang's feared rivals, the Thunder Bay Bombers. Dean must decide where in light of Derek's serious injuries whether he has the heart for the game and whether he too can risk serious injuries or whether he should dish out suitable revenge for his friend's injury.
It's the classic sports film story, Dean is knocked down, built up, knocked down again, takes some advise from a fatherly older figure and then returns to become the last minute hero, but what I like is that the film doesn't try to be anything more than this. There's no subliminal messages to try to interpret and similarly there's no multi-faceted characters to try to understand. That's not to say the film isn't without its subtleties. Ed Lauter is great fun as coach Chadwick and daughter Jessie played by Cynthia Gibb also shows great charm and enthusiasm. Also mention for Jim Youngs & Eric Nesterenko (an ex-pro Hockey player in fact) as Dean's brother and father who show a real humanity and humility in their roles.
The two stars, Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze should also be applauded. OK, the parts don't call for the most intricate or demanding interpretation but both deliver great energetic performances and are extremely watchable. Final mention for a very short appearance by Keanu Reeves as the quite bizarre French-Canadian goalkeeper and my personal favourite Duane Hewitt the assistant-captain. "I'm gonna carve you up Racki!" - Great fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey, did you know?, 12 Nov 2007

By	Kyle (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Youngblood [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

That the fight at the end of movie, where it is Youngblood versus Racki was completely legal? Yeah, the sword-fighting with the hockey sticks and everything. I watched this and laughed thinking that you could not do that, but I looked it up and under Rule 6.11, if both players agree or intend to use the sticks as weapons that there is no further penalty other than 5 minutes for fighting. Now I wish I was back in High School playing hockey I would have done that in the final game of the season.
