      David M My Favorite movie of all time, to this day Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review William Loved this film growing up. Kim Richards hair should have won an Oscar. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review X O I watched this back in the 80s, and the bicycle scene had a thing for me as I libed on my bike. It was my freedom, so a 'hero' with a bicycle was cool to me. Kim Richard's hair is beyond gorgeous, too. But the film, even then as now, is terrible. The situations presented are nothing like the real world, being a bad boy. It's just so stupid. No one would speak rhe way they do, have the right clothes in a gangster's car, with a maitre de who is an idiot, and how everyone dances in half empty bars doesn't happen. What I did learn is how much of a bully culture America lives by. It's rampant. What's with these bullying fcking boyfriends that people play they are aspiring to, hanging in the wings? And the fcking bstard is raping her. And the stupid prick thinks he can just beat someone up 4,on 1, and think he's cool. Do people do that? Of course, they just use guns these days. Cowards. Then propose to the Dad? I got to admit I like how Spader says 'Wounds of love', to Frankie. That was cool. Humanity is so stupid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review carlos t Filme: Tuff Turf #TuffTurf Data: 18-11-22 Elenco: @spaderjamesofficial @robertdowneyjr @kimrichards11 @catyasassoon @PaulMones Modelo: #teen #aventura #romance Duração: 1:52 hs Ano: 1985 Minha opinião: Um filme de 1985, fez parte da #SessãodaTarde e da adolecencia de muitos brasileiros, me incluo. Um filme que fez muito sucesso na década de 80 ao estilo também de #Footloose #Uma Mulhernota1000 #Ogartodofuturo #Et #Goonies Um filme de um jovem que se muda para uma outra cidade. E sempre é o #rebelde #ovelhanegra da família. Aqui é o James Spander de #BlackList e tendo o seu amigo Robert Downey Jr. Que não precisa de apresentações, como eram jovens. James acha encrenda com os bad guys da cidade, com Paul MOnes e onde tem a bela donzela que namora ele Kim Richard (uma graça, na época). E assim esta dado a pintura. E onde James se envolve com Kim e claro que isso não vai dar bem. Brigas, perseguições e muita correria. E em uma dessa James leva Kim e Robert para dar uma volta no mundo dos ricos, ao estilo de "Curtindo uma Vida Adoidado" como ele foi feito depois, então acho que eles que copiaram. Até que chega ao final onde tem a batalha do bonzinho com o malvado. Realmente ao estilo dos anos 80 que tras esta nostalgia. Vale apena assistir. Roteiro: Um roteiro simples e bem utilizado para década e muito funcional. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7,5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review v m i fell asleep at the middle of the movie, don't quite know if it was because i was hella tired or too bored. (enjoyable) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Fun movie with lots of up and coming actors. Love the 80s.

      Paul Attanasio Washington Post ... "Tuff Turf" flails wildly from lyrical soft-focus to expressionistic angles to pixilated, quick-cutting MTV mannerisms. Jan 3, 2018 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times You know a movie's in trouble when you start hoping for Divine to wander in and give it structure. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Clich ridden proceedings with an obligatory rock soundtrack. Rated: 2/5 Aug 21, 2004 Full Review Jon Niccum Lawrence Journal-World Rated: 3/5 Jul 11, 2003 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...about as bad as it gets when it comes to cheesy '80s teen flicks.
