This DVD is a disgrace to the epic masterpiece that is "Teen Wolf." I grew up watching this movie every other day on a scratchy old VHS we taped off of network TV. My brothers and I memorized nearly every line. It's humorous, eccentric, sentimental; a freakin' great movie.

"Teen Wolf Too," on the other hand, should never have existed. It is shameful that instead of loading this disc with extras from the original movie (it would have been great to see some of those scenes shot for TV, or even some commentary and outtakes), they put the ... retread sequel on here, whose first and greatest sin is that it is without Michael J. Fox.

I love the original "Teen Wolf" and the DVD is worth buying just to get a good version of it, but it deserved better treatment. Much, much better. Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves.

Although I agree with all the reviews covering this DVD that Teen Wolf (the original) was better, I believe people should ease up on the harsh reviews of Teen Wolf Too.. although it's quite the similiar plot line, and its NOT MJF, Jason Bateman shines in his own right in this movie... doesn't anybody watch the hilarious Arrested Developement? It's the same wolf as from all those years ago! Plus, I like both actors who play Styles equally, and the dance scene with "Do You Love Me?" gives the movie that extra special 80's flare! I'm actually impressed that both movies are on one DVD set, I wanted both!!
Overall- A needed add to you're 80's movies collection, for the fans!

Trust me, you'll want to skip Teen Wolf Too. Michael isn't in it, and it's one of the worst films ever made. Anyway, in "Teen Wolf", Michael J. Fox plays Scott Howard, a loser high schooler who plays on a basketball team that never wins, has a crush on the cutest girl in school, Pamela Wells (she ignores him like the plague), who by the way is dating the most popular hunk in school Mick McAllister, and always has trouble getting beer. So, one night, when he's at a party with his best friends Boof and Styles, something odd happens to Scott. As if he didn't have enough problems...guess what? He's turning into a werewolf! Now Scott has to make sure he can keep his secret! He makes sure to avoid classmates and friends, as well as vice principal Rusty Thorne (who has a grudge against Scott's father, Harold Howard)! However, during a game, Scott turns into the werewolf, and his secret is out. Now, he can play basketball like never before, and gain popularity! While he helps his team win the games, he finally has luck with Pamela, who has taken a new interest in him. It's now up to Scott to choose friends before fame. An 80's classic.

I would recommend getting the DVD if you just are looking for great picture quality and sound. There are no bonus features.

I have a question. From what I understand, those extra scenes where MJF was chased by dogs and talks with his dad after the dance were shot for airing the movie on television to replace a couple of racy scenes(the marijuana scene and the sexual scene between Scott and Pamela). But I saw a rerun of this movie recently on a small local affiliate channel (not even a cable channel, mind you) and the racy scenes were shown and the extra scenes were not(??). So, I'm confused as to how to get a version of the movie with those scenes in it. My guess is that you can't find them on any VHS release (the DVD definitely doesn't have them).

So what I'm asking is: Would the only way to see those replacement scenes be if you recorded the movie off a television broadcast? I mean, I did that, but the scenes still weren't shown. Does it really just come down to the decision of the particular channel airing that movie? So, if they edit the marijuana and sexual scenes, that's when they'd show the dog chase and after-dance conversation scenes? So you can only see them by pure chance?

this movie rules, it's just a typical 80's movie about school, you have the wacky antics with the principle always trying to expel the main character, its the same as any other movie of this time but with a wolf. the wackiness is what makes it a good movie, car surfing parts are some of the best. All you just need is the pizza, beer, and some good friends to watch this movie and your set. Oh by the way teen wolf too is horrible

Well, sir, the time has come and now I'm waiting for the apocalypse. Yes, it's true: Teen Wolf is out on DVD. Beware the juggernaut.
While I've nothing positive to say about TWT (Teen Wolf Too), the original is simply breathtaking. MJF (Michael J. Fox) gives a measured, taut performance as the title character. Oh, what a dream!
But the supporting cast really carries the picture. The flair of Styles sparkles, the Spanish of Coach makes us nod in agreement, the Locke-esque pompousness of Mick makes us grit our teeth, the girth of Chubs reminds of Phi-Phi girls, and even that old coger the principal causes us to clench our fist and want to give him the business.
How does MJF (Michael J. Fox) overcome it all? By becoming a sort of beast-hound, he is able to look into the soul of the universe, and eventually, into the soul of the treacherous Pamela Wells. Stick with Booth, MJF!

Both Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf Too were just OK scoring about 3 stars with this reviewer. Teen Wolf had the feel of an 80's film and my family missed this film when it first came out. We picked up this double feature some years after its release and enjoyed M. J. Fox, but did not get that much of a bang out of it. The strangest thing about both films is that the subject of the werewolf is treated so casually, just like a case of a five-o-clock shadow that increases your popularity at school. These two movies should obviously not be taken too seriously and were basically kid films made for the consumption of popcorn and a few hours to kill. I was a little surprised that Mr. Fox accepted the role as he seemed to have a few things going for him back then.

One of the best movies of all time.

I could care less if Teen Wolf Too is on side 2 of this DVD. I'll never watch it; it should have never existed. They should have used that space for DVD extras, or a widescreen version.

I've been looking for the MJFox version for my grandson because he LOVES sports and this one is such fun

Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf Too are classic 1980's flicks. I adore the first one starring Michael J. Fox, he can pull any film off but jeez the sequel with Jason Bateman is horrible to the bone or should I say hair. Too bad the original was never released by itself on DVD, so I recommend just watching the first and disposing of the second. Have fun watching this silly but fun teen flick.
