A new review for Green Street Hooligans

From Smart Popcorn:

"A lot of films get given the direct to video fate over here, most of them, like I said, deserve it, but every so often, you can find a gem amongst the trash. This is one of those gems. Definitely go to your video store and seek this one out. Till next time, be sure to keep it reel"

This film needs to be seen on the big screen as DVD just doesn't do the fight scenes justice. I agree that it wasn't given enough cinema listings but neither was EII which is a masterpiece. Well I think it is. Good to see someone praise GSE like this and thanks for sharing it with us.

That's a really good review, and I'd have to agree with most of it.

The stores here is getting a fairly good rental income from the film. Even viewers less likely to rent a "fight" film have heard of it through word of mouth and commented on how much they enjoyed it.

Thanks so much - it's so nice to hear a good review of GSH. I was lucky enough to see it in the theater twice before it disappeared (had to drive to do it but I am an Elijaholic after all) and was so glad I did. Seeing that face on the big screen is always alskjdfl;sal;dkflsdjf - but especially with this film. I really agreed with the review - except for Charlie being the stand-out performance because for me (of course) it was Elijah. I so wish this film had gotten a wider distribution and that more people had "gotten" the point of the film.

Yes, this movie surely deserved a better treatment in teathers. Here in Italy it was released for at about 10 days then disappeared, to become available in DVD.

Pity!

This movie went straight to video in Spain. I can't figure out why.

Hmmm, I assume the writer is in the US. I wonder why he thinks it went straight to video here because that's not true. It played in very few theaters, but the largest cities had it. Maybe he lives in the boonies like I do and assumes it went straight to video because it wasn't shown in any theaters near him. I don't think it was shown anywhere in my entire state, but I saw it in NYC.
