4/5 Will stand the test of time of other great trilogies

Great hockey movie. More mature than the Ducks- Movies and had a nice story to tell by using the fastest game on earth to tell it. And this one didn't have a Baldwin in it. Just love the final episode of the Slap shot movies

4/5 A Surprise

The 2nd one was awful so I imagined this would be far worse. I could not resist picking it up seeing Leslie Neilson on the dvd cover. Unfortunetaly he was not his usual goofy self.
But to my surprise it was very good and the Hanson Brothers made me laugh again. The romance was very cute. A few cameos were a little cheesy but they aren't actors anyway. Overall, I thought it was very good and similar to the Mighty Ducks movie.

4/5 We're baaaaaacccckkkkkk!!!!

A funny movie..... MUCH funnier than #2. Also several great tributes to the original film. First the boys are from the "Newman" Home for Boys. Second there is the locker room speach that Player/Coach Dunlap gave in the first is brought back here. "Get that stick in his side and let 'em know you're there!!"
The Hansons are back!! And God help us, so are their sons. This time they get to be the Hansons. Not like the second movie where there was very little of our great heros. Throw in some camios from a couple of greats, and you have SLAP SHOT 3.
I enjoyed it. You will also.

3/5 Not bad, but not great either

I won't as dour a rating as the previous reviewer, but I won't give it a good one either. A Slap Shot followup rated 'PG'? Come on, you can do better than that!

On the other hand, there were several "repeat gags" that were apparantly tributes to the original in a setting that is a little more presentable for kids.

Being a former hockey player myself I can attest that minor league hockey life was very much what the original Slap Shot portrayed, and that's not something I'd expose young kids to; Slap Shot 3 is for the parents who grew up with the original and want to give their kids something in the spirit of the original and don't want to have to stoop to giving their kids 'Mighty Ducks' films (don't get me wrong, this film is only a notch or two above 'Ducks' films, but undoubtably better).

1/5 En Guard!!!

lf you thought Slap Shot 2 was a slap in the face of this celluloid legend, then Slap Shot 3 will make you feel shame for more than 2 minutes.

The Charlestown Chiefs now sponsor a kiddie league and our three favorite hockey goons are now the coaches of these pubescent Hanson Brother wannabees. The Hanson Bros. try their best to teach kids about hockey and about life. Their abilities are tested when one two of the kids on the team are caught putting on the foils...on their things and have an impromptu sword fight in tale of curiosity.

Well, the bad boy of the team, sort of like a little 0gie 0gglethorpe catches them and ridicules them. He is soon traded and blabs about what he saw to the rest of the league as kids would do, thus making the Lil' Chiefs the laughing stock of the league.

Well despite the humiliation, the Hansons try to comfort the kids that it's ok to ''explore'' and that what they did was not wrong. But you know with kids, in one orafice and out the other.

Normally this would divide the team, instead it brings them closer together. The Lil' Chiefs start winning games and go through the playoffs until guess who they have to play in the finals? You got it. Lil' 0gie. They proceed to hit the Chiefs with elbows and insults. Finally in sudden death overtime, our two little musketeers set up the winning goal, thus good triumphing over evil.

This film is nothing to shake a stick at...or a ''sword'' for that matter.
